into today’s topic
how to double your speaking time in your
target language okay let’s get into part
one why is real speaking progress so
hard to make let’s say you’ve studied
the language for a few months and now
you finally have a chance to practice
speaking maybe you have a tutor or a
native speaker friend who is willing to
practice with you you start talking and
your friend helps you improve bits and
pieces of your speaking like
pronunciation and grammar and maybe you
can talk about your day and common
topics but without proper preparation on
both sides the person learning and the
person teaching that’s it you’re limited
to what you can talk about you don’t
know enough of the language to keep
going and they aren’t prepared to help
you speak more of the language so if you
try to have an open-ended conversation
you’ll fall flat at some point you’ll
run out of things to say and talk about
you’ll run out of words and topics and
this is true outside of language
learning it’s easy for conversations to
die when you run out of things to talk
about a free style approach to
conversation is nice for advanced
learners or people who do serious
preparation but it’s not so great for
beginners this is one reason it’s hard
to make real progress with speaking you
run out of things to say but there is a
way to double your speaking time even if
you’re an absolute beginner even if
you’re low on words and grammar and
that’s by adding structure that you’ll
find in our lessons let’s get into that
part two how you can double your
speaking time with our audio and video
lessons let’s say you’re having a
practice conversation with that same
friend except this time both of you have
a list of topics to follow then your
conversations won’t die out as quickly
the point is if you have a structure to
follow like a lesson there’s always
something for you to fall back on and if
you’re already using our audio and video
lessons you get just that so here’s how
you can use our lessons to double your
speaking time one make sure to listen to
and review your current audio or video
lessons why each lesson conversation is
based on a certain topic like talking
about the weather talking
about family ordering food and so on so
by simply taking a lesson you learn a
conversation around a certain topic
lessons will give you a lot of topics to
talk about along with the relevant
grammar and vocabulary which many
beginners might not have think about it
if you wanted to talk about a vacation
you’d need to know where it’s like
vacation cruise and holiday in your
target language you’d also need the
right grammar points to help you express
ideas our audio and video lessons will
provide you with all of these so listen
to the lessons and prepare ahead of time
to use the dialogue presented in the
lesson in other words you can memorize
the lines from the lesson dialogue
you’re already learning conversations in
the lesson so you may as well use them
for yourself and doing this will help
prepare you for future conversations
think about it we often use lines like
where are you from what’s your name my
name is how was your weekend I went out
last weekend once you memorize these
expressions you can and will use them
over and over as an example imagine you
do a few lessons about the weather
you’ll master a few conversations about
it the next time that topic pops up in
real life you’ll be able to talk about
it and three each lesson comes with
cultural insights what does that mean
for you it gives you more things to talk
about with a native speaker so if you
bring up a cultural point in a
conversation with a native speaker
you’ll likely get a good reaction and
extend the conversation because you’re
talking about what they know best their
culture so today you learn one why it’s
hard for many learners to make progress
with their speaking skills it’s because
we tend to run out of things to say and
to how you can double your speaking time
accomplish this by taking our lessons
memorizing the dialogues and using the
cultural insights so thank you for
