5 top tips to boost your fluency13/1/2022 Everybody wants to be fluent, but what does that really mean? In my opinion, "fluent" means understanding, processing, and replying smoothly without any interruptions. It's easy to say and not so easy to do, so what techniques can you use to make it easier? ![]() 1. Take your time when you speak. Give yourself time to breathe! If you race to get the words out as quickly as possible, you won't even understand yourself! So, slow down, breathe, and articulate. 2. Take every opportunity to learn new vocabulary. Get into the habit of carrying a notebook with you, and write down new words when you hear them. So, when you watch your favourite series, or see a film, remember to write down new words so that you can look them up later. 3. So, once you've started using your notebook (see number 2) then you can look up the new words and try to remember them in context. It's much more useful, and interesting to learn vocabulary in a whole sentence rather than just a list of words. This is a huge boost for your fluency! 4. Immerse yourself in an English speaking environment. This might not be easy, but it's possible. Try speaking English for one day every week at home. Ask your friends to practice dialogues & role plays with you. Listen to English speaking radios. Record yourself , then listen and try to correct your mistakes. Create your very own English bubble. 5.Take the plunge! It seems difficult and it can be scary to start speaking, but once you've started, you won't regret it. Don't worry about making mistakes, we all make them. What you've got to do now is to start speaking as a means of communication; it's the only way to attain the level of fluency that you've been looking for.
