ENGLISH FLUENCY SECRETS YOU MUST KNOW 5 SECRETS YOU MUST REMEMBER TO SPEAK ENGLISH FLUENTLY
hey today i’m going to teach you five
secrets that’s right five secrets you
must know in order to speak english
fluently like a native english speaker
are you ready
well then i’m teacher tiffany let’s jump
right in all right secret number one the
first secret to english fluency is
understanding that english fluency is
not in your mouth that’s right english
fluency actually starts in your head now
as an english learner you probably have
studied english for a long time which
means you’ve also experienced
frustration
why am i not able to speak like a native
english speaker you’ve learned tons of
vocabulary words tons of expressions and
so much more yet you’re still not able
to speak
it’s because of this secret you see it’s
not the number of words you know or the
number of grammar rules you know no
instead it’s how you organize your
thoughts
english fluency starts in your head let
me explain it to you a little bit more
the first thing is to speak english like
a native you need to
think
like a native it makes sense right you
see as a native english speaker i
remember when i was in high school
college even when i was in grade school
my english teachers taught me how to
think
they taught me how to organize my ideas
properly
that’s why i am able to speak english
fluently so you as an english learner
need to understand how to think like a
native english speaker it starts in your
mind first you also need to learn how to
organize your thoughts and ideas in your
head before you speak
this is something that is key you all
know that i talk about the five w’s come
on you know them say them who what
when where and why exactly the reason i
teach you the five w so many times in my
lessons is because using the five w’s
you will be able to organize your
thoughts before you speak
this is how native english speakers
learn how to think and then
speak fluently in english so you must
organize your thoughts the third thing
is native english speakers
are taught this in school i mentioned
earlier i learned this in middle school
elementary school middle school high
school and college
we are taught how to properly think and
organize our ideas so i want you to stop
being frustrated with yourself because
it’s not that you are not smart it’s
just simply no one has ever told you
this first secret english fluency is not
in your mouth
it’s in
your brain and your mind secret number
one
let’s move on to secret number two this
is again very important for you to
understand in order to speak english
fluently secret number two is book
english will not
it won’t help you speak
real
english
book english is actually different from
spoken
english now maybe you’re like teacher
tiffany oh my goodness if i can’t speak
fluently after studying a book what can
i do
don’t worry let me explain what happened
to me when i was studying korean when i
was in korea i was learning i had tons
of books and i was studying hard but
when i would speak to my korean friends
they said tiff
for some reason you sound awkward you
don’t sound like a native korean speaker
your sentences are not really natural i
was studying tons of korean books
but i wasn’t learning how to speak like
a native korean speaker i realized these
books
those books at that time were not
helping me let me explain how this
applies to you as an english learner
here’s the thing
one reason many english learners like
you don’t become fluent is that they
only focus on english books like me i
was only focusing on korean books
not paying attention to real
conversations i had my books ready had
them open and i was memorizing korean
vocabulary words memorizing expressions
memorizing grammar rules but i still
sounded awkward and you again probably
experienced the same frustration
only focusing on english books will make
you sound awkward like i sounded
when you try to speak
english
learning english from real situations
will actually make you sound more
natural remember i said
i was studying tons of korean books but
when i realized that i sounded awkward
and i wasn’t speaking korean fluently i
stopped i put the books down
and i started paying attention when my
friends my korean friends were speaking
with each other i paid attention oh wait
a minute they used that expression wait
a minute they used that word order let
me mimic them let me imitate them and
then all of a sudden
my korean friend said hey tiff
you sound more natural your korean
fluency is improving all because i
started paying attention to real
situations
that’s the second secret book english
won’t help you
speak real english if you only focus on
the books you’ll never speak english
fluently so you must pay attention to
real situations listen to native english
speakers as they speak to each other
that is secret number two
now what about secret number three for
english fluency this is extremely
important secret number three is
english conversations have a special
flow
an english conversation is like a tennis
match i love this secret because i enjoy
showing it visually
think about a tennis match you have a
ball
and a tennis racket and the person
you’re playing with your opponent also
has a tennis racket you throw the ball
up and
hit the ball to the opponent the
opponent receives it and then
hits it back to you and there’s this
back and forth
back and forth come on back and forth
that happens in the tennis match
that’s how a tennis match continues
moving back and forth english
conversations are exactly the same there
is this back and forth that occurs and i
want to explain these points to you
really quickly in order
going back and forth which means if you
receive a question and you answer it you
must
send the question back many times
english learners some of my students in
the past
i would ask them a question and they’d
answer and then look at me they weren’t
sending it back to me this is how a
conversation is supposed to flow first
if you understand
the proper flow of a conversation
you will be able to go back and forth
smoothly remember we’re talking about
speaking english fluently it’s not
always about the words and expressions
if you understand these secrets you’ll
be able to speak english fluently going
back and forth
next following the right conversation
flow will help you connect
with your listener you know
one thing that i know you’ve experienced
as an english learner is when a native
english speaker if you’ve ever
encountered one comes up to you and asks
you a question you get a little nervous
so instead of
sending a question back you simply
answer and you get quiet
and you feel awkward right so you’re not
able to connect to the listener so that
individual feels like oh you don’t speak
english fluently
simply because you don’t understand the
third secret the flow back and forth
back and forth of an english
conversation
understanding and following the flow
will also help you sound more like a
native english speaker
this secret is so important now with
this secret again you have to practice
in order to master this secret in order
to speak english fluently based on this
secret you have to practice the proper
flow of an english conversation and that

move on to secret number four secret
number four is also extremely important
secret number four is
the number three
is powerful
use it
you see
using three points three reasons or
three details this is key to speaking
english fluently that’s right in english
now i told you all that when i was in
school my english teachers they taught
us based on these secrets i mentioned
the five w’s learning how to organize
your thoughts but for this one right
here
i want to emphasize again
three what happened look back really
quickly what did we say we said right
here
three points
three reasons or three details here’s
the thing whenever you are talking to
someone whenever you’re having a
conversation back and forth when you
give your idea or your thought you need
to
support it
that’s why the number three is so
powerful three details
three reasons three opinions three
points things that will support your
idea you must remember the power of the
number three here’s another point i want
to make
this number three is the most important
one of the most important keys to
speaking english like a native english
speaker i want you to pay attention when
someone asks another native english
speaker a question that individual
naturally goes into three supporting
details why
because our teachers taught us that way
when i was in college one of my favorite
teachers miss candelaria she was my
english teacher and she told us the
importance of the number three she said
whatever your idea is support it with
three supporting ideas details examples
this is why we are able to speak english
fluently
giving three points three reasons or
three details will provide the
information you need to speak fluently
someone listening to you will feel wow
your english is amazing because you’re
following this secret the power of the
number three
and native english speakers i mentioned
we are taught the power and importance
of the number three in school two you
have to learn what we learn in order to
speak english fluently so again you can
practice with the tutor from cambly you
can practice in your room practice using
the number three and supporting your
ideas
now what about secret number five
another important secret i want you to
understand
this one right here
confidence
comes before fluency confidence actually
leads to speaking english fluently
this is something very interesting you
see i know that you want to speak
english fluently and you get nervous
when you’re not able to express yourself
right but the thing is
you speak your own language fluently
because you’re confident in yourself
when you gain confidence when what
you’re learning from your english
lessons or from this lesson right here
when you put it into practice and you
see oh my goodness what teacher tiffany
taught me is really true and it’s
working suddenly
you get confident
your shoulders kind of go back a little
bit your head goes up and your
confidence will lead to fluency it
happened to one of my students he was
not as confident when he first started
studying with me but then i told him hey
you can do it and he started to believe
in himself and his fluency improved so
you must remember these things
you need to develop confidence in your
own abilities if you want to achieve
english fluency stop saying sorry
you’re amazing you’re already speaking
another languages maybe it’s your second
third fourth or even fifth language you
are awesome
remember that have confidence in
yourself because that confidence will
lead to fluency
the more confident you are the more
natural your english will sound and i’m
going to tell you a story about my
experience during during story time so
don’t go anywhere i’ll say that story
okay all right and then
in order to gain more confidence in your
abilities you must step out of your
comfort zone if you’re used to studying
one way and you don’t want to record a
video you don’t want to have
conversations because you get nervous
you have to get out of your comfort zone
in order to build your confidence
because confidence comes before fluency
my job my goal as your teacher as the
one leading you along this path is to
help you gain confidence in yourself
these are the five secrets you need to
understand you must know in order to
speak english fluently now i really hope
you enjoyed today’s lesson i hope you

to get your tutor by clicking the link
in the description start practicing
again the flow of a conversation love
you all and i can’t wait to see you
again in the next lesson but as always
remember to speak
english
you still there
you know what time it is come on it’s
story time
hey i said a story time
all right now i told you i promised you
that i tell you a story about my
experience now i told you all the last
secret was confidence comes before
fluency right i told you that when i was
studying korean i was studying so many
books but i still sounded awkward but
eventually i understood the secret and i
started paying attention in real
situations so when i lived in korea for
that 10-year period i was speaking
korean fluently my korean had really
improved but now i’m in america right
so i came back to america about
it’s been a while
and after being home for a year
one of my closest friends she was going
to get married so i had to fly back to
korea so there was this one year period
where i had not been around any koreans
i was not speaking korean on a regular
basis anymore so even though i was
fluent when i was in south korea when i
came back to america for that full year
i was speaking in english
so you as you naturally think yes
i was probably a little bit nervous and
you would be correct so i remember
getting on the flight to fly back to
korea excited about my friend’s wedding
i was really excited and on my way to
korea i realized hey there are certain
people that i need to see not just that
friend
so when i arrived in korea i texted some
of my other friends saying hey i’ll be
in korea let’s meet up let’s hang out a
little bit and one of the individuals i
texted was
one of my favorite omni only is like
older sister
she actually helped me with my thesis
when i was writing my thesis in korean
so i really really love her i really
care about her and i really wanted to
see her so i messaged her and said hey
i’ll be in korea let’s meet up for lunch
now we’re texting right you all know
sometimes it’s easier to write in
english than speak right so up until
that point everything was fine i could
type if i forgot a word i could look it
up really quickly and i was fine texting
her in korean
so we met up and we went to a restaurant
in korea and the restaurant had really
good food so we said hey again all in
korean but again
the introductions and saying the
greetings are very simple right even in
english hey how are you so we sat down
to eat
and we ordered our food and so we
started to have a conversation the back
and forth
now again i hadn’t spoken korean in
about a year just simple things you know
via text and sometimes on the phone
periodically
so my friend was telling me about things
that were going on in her life and my
understanding was fine listening skills
were good but again i had to go back and
forth i had to respond but remember i
said i’m very close to her i really care
about her and i’m very comfortable
around her
so i feel confident whenever i speak to
her in korean i’m never shy or nervous
so the conversation was flowing very
well i wasn’t even noticing it because
again i was so comfortable around her i
didn’t feel insecure at all about my
korean speaking ability so we’re talking
and she stopped and she said tiff again
all in korean
your korean is still good but you’ve
been gone for a year
and i paused and i said oh
i guess it is but then i realized it’s
because of you i said i’m comfortable
around you i feel confident around you
so
everything i learned all the korean
words and expressions came back to my
mind and i was able to speak korean
fluently because i felt
confident around her
she smiled and said oh that’s good and
we continued on with our conversation
but i never forgot that situation i
never forgot what happened because again
i had been gone for a full year but
because i felt confident around her i
was comfortable with her the korean
naturally flowed so i’m telling you this
story because i want to encourage you
confidence comes before fluency
when you are comfortable around someone
you’ll be able to speak english fluently
it’ll come out more naturally i’ve seen
it happen over and over with my personal
students students in the past even
students now they just naturally start
speaking english because they’re
comfortable with me and their confidence
improves
so i want you to think whenever you’re
speaking in english if you start feeling
a little bit insecure
a little bit nervous stop i say wait a
minute i can do this i can do this i’m
intelligent i’m amazing i’m learning
another language and watch your
confidence improve and the english will
start to flow just a bit better because
remember confidence comes before fluency
i really hope this story encourages you
i’ve been where you are and i know the
importance of being confident in
yourself all right i will see you next
time have a wonderful day have a
wonderful week and as always remember to
speak english
