the secret to speaking more of your

target language

if you’re like most language learners

then above all you want to speak

and understand more of your target

language but how do you speak more when

you’re just starting out

when you can’t yet create sentences off

the top of your head

here are some tips let’s jump into part

one

how to prepare ahead of time to speak

so what’s the secret to speaking more of

your target language

it’s something called preparation and

believe it or not

you’ve likely used it if you’ve ever had

to give a speech or a presentation

so what do we mean by preparation

imagine that you have to go open a bank

account in the language that you’re

learning

how would you do it you can go in there

grunt and use body language

or you can first come up with a list of

words and phrases you need to know

before you go

like debit card bank account i want to

open a bank account

and minimum balance you may want to look

up the grammar rules for how to say

i want to once you know these words and

phrases

you translate them into your target

language and you go over to the bank to

open an account

or let’s say you’re meeting a person for

the first time

what are some things you’d say to them

things like what’s your name

my name is where are you from i am from

and so on

so you prepare a list of words and

phrases all the things you’d want to say

in that situation

you translate them ahead of time so that

you can communicate effectively

that’s preparation and preparation works

because most conversations are

predictable to a degree

for example most conversations with

friends start with greetings and

catching up on how you’ve been

and if you know the lines for greetings

catching up and talking about your

weekend

then you can easily handle such a

conversation the point is

the more you prepare the more you learn

to speak without needing a teacher

so how do you prepare part two

how to speak more through preparation

here are some tips

if you’re using our learning program one

take our audio and video lessons

you’ll find these in our lesson library

and just focus on the conversational

lessons

lessons are just three to fifteen

minutes in length and in the first

minute you’ll hear a practical

conversation

for example meeting someone new catching

up with a friend or ordering in a

restaurant

then our teachers break down and explain

every word and grammar rule

so you can learn these lines and

conversations ahead of time

number two download the audio dialogue
