HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH FAST AND FLUENTLY
You probably dream about sounding like a native English speaker, right? You want to gain their effortlessness, fluency, and speed. We totally feel you. There is nothing more rewarding than having a relaxed chat without any fears you might sound awkward because you speak too slowly. That’s why we prepared a few tips that can help you develop a more natural speed while speaking English without compromising your fluency.
- Make sure to pronounce words right. If you speak too fast and mispronounce every other word, this can harm your daily communication. Correct pronunciation should be your starting point.
- Try using contractions. For instance, instead of saying: “I would like to go with you,” say: “I’d like to go with you.”
- Start thinking in English. If you translate from your native language in your head, it’ll take longer to formulate your sentences in English.
- Don’t overthink before saying something. Relax and stop worrying about perfection. You might make a few mistakes, but this will be less noticeable in spoken English. And since your goal is to communicate effectively, you can do it even with a few imperfections.
- Practice shadowing. Listen and imitate native speakers. This will help you a lot with your pronunciation and intonation. This requires a lot of regular practice, so be patient.
Bonus tips:
You need to be super careful when speaking fast. For instance, if your pronunciation is not clear, speaking faster is just going to make everything worse – and other people won’t understand you. Talking very fast can sometimes give the impression that you’re too nervous or insecure. So don’t go overboard in increasing your speaking speed.
HOW CAN I SPEAK MORE CLEARLY IN ENGLISH?
If you want to have successful communication in English, you need to speak clearly. Thus, you’ll be able to express your opinion easily, and your interlocutors will enjoy conversing with you. If you have trouble making yourself understood, here are a few handy tips for you.
- Take a deep breath and calm down. Fill your lungs with oxygen, and take a moment or two to organize your thoughts before uttering anything.
- Articulate your words. Pronounce each syllable individually, and try to stop the air for consonants like “t” and “b”. Also, differentiate between your vowels.
- Practice pronunciation every day – in the car, while cleaning, knitting, or standing in front of the mirror.
- Don’t rush when you speak. You probably wish to sound more native-like, and one way to achieve this is by speeding up a little bit. But you need to be cautious as you don’t want to sound too aggressive. Find your optimal speed at which you feel relaxed and able to communicate without over-tiring either yourself or others.
