Speak English Clearly Confidently

so you want to speak English clearly and

confidently I’m Emma from English and I

can help you your pronunciation and

clear expression is so so important if

you want to speak English clearly and

confidently but it’s not only the

English sounds that are important so

that you pronounce your words correctly

but it’s also the word stress the

sentence stress pause and intonation

that can affect the meaning and the

clarity of your English sentences word

stress is making one syllable in each

word stronger and it can affect the

meaning of the words in English for

example these words advise and advise

sentence stress is making words in a

sentence stronger and clearer without

this stress we’d sound like robots do

you like banana milkshakes

do you like banana milkshakes adding

stress pores and intonation to your

english sentences will make them clearer

and easier to understand so why is all

of this important well if you find

listening to English difficult these are

the magic keys that will unlock your

understanding of spoken English for

native speakers stress pores and

intonation come naturally they listen

learn and copy the sounds and patterns

of English from when they’re children

but non native speakers who learn

English in a completely different way

find it difficult to learn and practice

the patterns of spoken English if you’re

a non-native English speaker you

probably have two main problems firstly

native speakers speak too quickly and

it’s difficult for you to understand

them secondly it’s difficult for native

English speakers to understand you

because you speak English with an

unnatural pattern or rhythm but for

non-native English speakers it’s not

easy to learn how to correctly pronounce

words or which words should be stressed

in a sentence or which syllables should

be stressed in a word but I’m going to

show you a new way to study today that

will make it so much easier for you to

practice your spoken English

it’s called the imitation technique or

sometimes it’s called shadowing and it

works so well with my private students

they’ve had so much success with it that

I wanted to share it with you today so

how does the imitation technique work to

imitate something is to copy something

so you’re simply going to copy what a

native speaker is saying you just need

an audio recording of the native speaker

talking at normal speed at their natural

pace it’s really simple all you need to

do is listen to the first sentence and

then pause it and repeat it exactly as

you hear it copying the stress pause and

the intonation used by the speaker so

why does this technique work because it

teaches you to listen to the sounds and

patterns of English you’re not reading

the words and guessing how to pronounce

them or how to correctly stress the

words in the sentence you’re hearing

them exactly as they should sound and

you’re imitating them you’re copying

them creating those same sounds yourself

now this is exactly the same way that

children learn to speak from their

parents by imitating or copying someone

else when you practice with the

imitation technique you will reduce your

accent and pronunciation problems

quickly and you’ll become a clearer

english speaker when learning to speak

English confidently it’s so important to

practice and improve your pronunciation

and to become familiar with the patterns

of English and I’m going to help you do
