If you want to become a more fluent English speaker, you need to:
LISTEN > LEARN > PERFORM >
Step 1. LISTEN
I suggest you listen to lots of English during the day.
Listen to English while eating, cleaning the house,walking, exercising, going to work,getting ready, waiting in line, and before bed.
Use easy-to-understand materials that are interesting to you.Let it sink in.
Listen to the flow and pronunciation.
Try to recognize what you do know…and what you don’t know.
Step 2. LEARN
It’s also important to spend some time studying grammar and learning vocabulary.
However, in order to save you time and energy, I recommend you use learning materials that have explanations in your native language.
Step 3. PERFORM
Then, the FINAL step to English Fluency is:
PERFORM and PRACTICE!
Many people tend to avoid this step.
However for many people, THIS IS THE MISSING INGREDIENT.
I call this “GOLDEN TIME!”
Every day you must find some time to really focus on speaking English out loud.
This time is NOT for studying English grammar and vocabulary!
Use this time to PRACTICE and PERFORM English.
Train your English speaking voice.Mimic and imitate native speaking.
Focused and Concentrated. Purposeful and Powerful English Speaking PRACTICE.
