TOP 3 Ways to Improve Your Fluency Advanced English Lesson
hi i’m vanessa from speak english with
vanessa calm today we’re going to talk
about the top three ways to improve your
fluency and confidence in english let’s
get started in this video i combined
fluency and confidence for a reason both
of these concepts go together you can’t
be fluent if you’re not confident
confidence when you speak and when you
use English so valuable I think this is
the base for all English learning you
can’t improve your vocabulary your
grammar your pronunciation unless you
feel confident first so that’s what
we’re going to talk about today the
first way to improve your fluency and
confidence is consistency this is
something that’s so hard for me but it’s
such a valuable thing consistency means
doing something every day doing it
consistently every day listen to English
every day read something in English
every day speak in English if you can do
something with English consistently
every day if you miss a day it’s okay
but try to be consistent try to include
English every day
the best way to be consistent is to be
using English in multiple ways maybe
every day you don’t feel like listening
to a podcast in English that’s okay
you also need to have a YouTube channel
that you enjoy listening to or a
Facebook group community that you can
interact with or maybe a speaking
partner you can talk with something
different that you can do each day will
help you to maintain your motivation
because no one likes to do just the same
thing every day we like to have variety
it keeps your interest and it’s
necessary the second way to improve your
fluency and confidence is be
nice to yourself it seems so simple
doesn’t it well if you have a
conversation in English and after the
conversation you feel like what did I do
I should have said this why did I not
say that
why did I feel so nervous be nice to
yourself even if you have been learning
English for 12 years for 20 years and
you had a bad experience with just a
simple English conversation take a deep
breath and be nice to yourself everyone
is human you are human I am human the
best way to maintain confidence and to
even have confidence in the first place
be nice to yourself if you’re having
trouble being nice to yourself one
simple thing that I recommend is to turn
the sides of your mouth up smile if you
made a mistake smile even if it’s a fake
smile
this act will help you to feel like you
know what everyone makes mistakes
I can still smile I can still be happy
if you’re having a conversation and you
don’t know what to say smile everyone
understands a smile or laugh it’s great
to be able to laugh at yourself
to laugh at jokes a simple smile will
help you to maintain a positive attitude
the third way to improve your fluency
and confidence is to read out loud in
the video about how to improve your
speaking I mentioned speaking loudly and
how that will improve your speaking
well that will also improve your
confidence and if you don’t know what to
say take a book and read it out loud or
maybe a blog post or a news article when
you read out loud you are using natural
english sentences it’s
your sentence but it’s still a natural
sentence and your voice is saying those
beautiful words out loud I think it’s
really important to make a connection
between your voice your ears and natural
English so that’s why I really recommend
reading out loud for example here is a
sentence from this book it’s out of
context you don’t know what the book is
about but if I read this out loud when
he returned his face was flushed read
his expression sullen and the sign was
nowhere to be seen
oh it’s not your sentence it’s not even
my sentence but because I read it out
loud I know that I can say those things
it is going to help me in my mind to
connect new grammar structures new
vocabulary words maybe you don’t know
the word sullen maybe you don’t know the
word flushed but your voice said those
words so it is going to improve your
confidence and also help you to fluently
use natural grammar like this sentence I
hope that these three tips consistency
be nice to yourself and reading out loud
will help you to improve your fluency
and confidence do you have any other
