- Hello, this is Jack from ToFluency.com
and welcome to this English lesson
where you're going to get some extra tips
on how to improve your English speaking.
So I made a video a few months ago
and I talked about how speaking is a difficult skill
because you have to be able to use the correct pronunciation
to use while interacting with someone.
And also I talked about how most people
don't get enough specific practice in this area.
And that's why a lot people say
I feel like my English is good
but when it comes to speaking,
in order to improve this area.
Things that you can do on your own,
So those tips were to work on your pronunciation,
which we'll talk about again in this video.
To imitate or shadow native speakers
and then also just to get some natural practice
either with a teacher or a friend.
Today I'm going to give you some more tips
so that you can speak with more confidence,
so that you can be more accurate and fluent
and also so that you can sound more natural
that I would love for you to answer.
So let's get started with tip number one.
Tip one is to expand your vocabulary.
To learn more words and phrases.
Words and phrases that you're going to use
Think about what you're going to talk about
and learn the words and phrases you need to know
in order to talk about that subject.
For example, let's say you want to be able
to talk about American politics
You'll need to learn things like left wing, right wing,
Democrats, Republicans, election,
And it's also wise to learn common, everyday English phrases
because you're going to use these
no matter what situation you're in
or what subjects you're talking about.
Luckily I have made many videos
on these types of words and phrases
and I'll leave a link to some of those videos
But when learning words and phrases,
it's so important that you learn sentences
because this is going to help you with your grammar
and it's going to show you exactly how to use these words
and phrases within the context of a sentence.
to my lesson on input in the description
and then also, take these words and phrases
when you see them or hear them
and put them into something like Anki
to get that long-term repetition
and to internalize these structures.
Number two is to listen as much as possible.
And I made a video, a very short video
called "Always Be Listening, ABL."
always be listening to English.
in order to improve my speaking?
Surely those are two different skills?
or getting as much listening practice as possible
will dramatically help your speaking.
Because firstly, in order to have a conversation
with somebody, you need to be able to understand
And if you can't understand what they're saying,
then you won't be able to have a true conversation.
and that's gonna help you increase your vocabulary
to the way that people speak English.
So it's gonna help you understand
and finally, it's gonna help your pronunciation too
because listening to the sounds of English
will help you better make the sounds of English.
So find podcasts, find YouTube videos like this one.
to listen to the way that people speak English
Now, I want to say at this point
how powerful my method can be,
because what it is doing is it's taking all these tips
and putting it into one easy-to-use method.
So what you're doing is you're getting phrases
you are listening to these phrases,
so it's increasing your listening ability.
You're repeating these phrases
and then you're also recording your version
and comparing it to the original
and this is going to help your accuracy.
So you can see, this method improves your listening,
it helps you learn new words and phrases
and it also increases your grammar too
because you're learning through sentences.
So again, go to the description
and learn more about this method
and how it can help your speaking.
Now, the final tip is to stay consistent.
and how you can use these on a daily basis.
Now, you might feel a little bit overwhelmed with that
do this method, practice with native speakers
and do the other things that Jack has talked about
Commit to doing a small amount every day
So commit to doing five or 10 or 15 minutes a day.
So make sure you do this every single day.
Let's just say 10 minutes for the sake
So commit to 10 minutes every single day
Everyone can find 10 minutes a day
to commit to something specific.
And then, there are going to be days
but make sure you make the commitment
to do things on a daily basis.
when learning a complex skill,
like the ability to speak English
So commit to the daily practice
of using the methods I've talked about
and again, if you can do more,
Okay, so those are the tips for this lesson.
