Learning English?
-
Get on the road to Fluency.

To Fluency.

I receive many emails from English learners telling me that they want to improve their English speaking, and I imagine this is what you want too.
-
But before we take a look at the specific ways that you can improve your speaking,
-
it's important to know that working on your general English is going to help your speaking too.
-
So, make sure you're doing the other things that you need to do to improve your level.
-
So, there are two main ways that you can improve your English speaking,
-
and the first way is to get more natural practice; and this just means having conversations with other people in English.
-
Doing this not only helps you use your English in different situations, but it also allows you to learn new words and phrases,
-
and to learn more about English by listening to other people speak.
-
And having conversations is one of the best ways that you can get natural input.
-
The second way to improve your speaking is to do something that I call focused learning.
-
And this is when you practice specific things to help you improve; you can do this on your own or work with a teacher, and this is different than having normal everyday conversations.
-
An example of this is doing drills and other things that are going to help you improve your pronunciation.
-
And I feel that not enough learners spend enough time working on their pronunciation.
-
It will make a massive difference if you can say the different sounds in English correctly.
-
In addition to being able to use the correct stress, intonation, and rhythm when you speak, and that is why I recommend that you spend time working on your pronunciation.
-
Another example of focused learning is mimicking native speakers,
-
and anyone can do this now because of all the audio that is available for free online.
-
And this is an easy method to work on: All you need to do is listen to a native speaker and then repeat after they speak.
-
To take this method further, you can actually record your audio, and then compare it to the original recording.
-
What this does is it allows you to compare your version to the original version, and then make any changes that you need to make.
-
So, using a combination of natural practice and also the focused learning methods I talked about is really going to help you.
-
And my question for this video is this: How often do you speak in English?
