3 SIMPLE ENGLISH FLUENCY STEPS Simple Steps To Speak Like A Native English Speaker
last week i had a conversation with one
of my favorite students
he said tiff you know i’ve been enjoying
your class
i i really am learning a lot but i have
a question
i said hey you know ask me your question
how can i help you
he said do you have any specific tips
for me
do you have anything that i can do that
would take my
english to the next level now i’ve been
his teacher for a while and he’s
improved so much
but i still was hearing this question
come out
on a regular basis do you have any
specific
tips you see as an english learner you
really want to speak english fluently
and you’re studying hard but sometimes
you need specific
tips so i said you know what i’m going
to create a lesson that will give
not only him but you too three
simple steps three simple steps that
will help you sound like a native
english speaker
now i know it may be surprising when you
think about
english as this large thing that you
have to overcome and accomplish
but trust me today’s lesson these
three simple steps are literally going
to help you start
speaking like a native english speaker
and thinking
and organizing your thoughts in english
you ready now before i teach you this
lesson before i give you these three
simple steps i need you to do
something for me you see my goal is to
help one billion
students around the world speak english
with confidence
and i need your help i need you to do
three simple things for me
i need you to like this video share this
video
and subscribe here we go
like share subscribe come on i said
like share subscribe last time like
share subscribe i’m teacher tiffany
let’s jump right in
[Music]
alright so when you speak in english you
want to speak fluently right
and these are the three simple steps you
need to focus on the first step being
name and basic description second
three key features and characteristics
and finally
personal opinion about a certain topic
or subject
now these three simple steps can apply
to
everything everything in english so i
need you to pay close
attention alright so the first step
let’s
jump right in here we go name or basic
description
the first thing you need to do is state
who
or what you will be talking about you
also need to give a short description of
the individual or
topic now let me explain this really
quickly the first part again being
stating what you will be talking about
this
is something that seems very basic
because as an english learner
you normally start off by saying what
you’re going to talk about
right but what happens is you stop there
sometimes right
if someone asks you a question hey how
was your week last week
you may say it was good right
a basic answer but again you need to
state what you’re talking about my week
was
good but then give a short description
of the topic you need to kind of give a
little bit more detail
and it doesn’t matter what the topic is
but you’re starting off
with the name or title and a short
description
this also introduces the listener into
what you are about to say it’s an
excellent way
to grab their attention you know i’ve
done a lesson before on how to give a
speech in english right
and we talked about the attention
grabber your goal
your purpose when you’re speaking in
english is to not only use
words but to also get the
the attention of the person you’re
speaking to right
you want them to understand what you’re
saying and also
speak to you go back and forth
in order to do this you must first
state what you’re talking about
introduce the individuals to the topic
all right
so you’re going to give for example the
exact name of the individual
situation or topic and then give a
simple description
so let’s say for example we have this
image right here it looks like a woman
sitting at
a table she’s either editing or
doing some coding on her computer so
we’re probably going to be talking about
someone dealing with computers
so let’s say this is the question
looking at this example here we go
here’s the question someone asks you
what do you study again you’re starting
off with the topic and a simple
description
here we go i am currently studying
computer graphics
which is a very popular major at my
university
so what happened the topic what’s the
topic
hey what are you studying maybe they’re
asking about
your university man your university
your university is amazing but i’m
curious
what are you studying now before you may
have just said
i’m studying computer graphics and stop
there but again
we’re trying to develop this system that
will help you speak
fluently using the three simple steps so
now you introduce the topic
i am currently studying computer
graphics oh but don’t stop there
short description which is a very
popular major at my university what
happens
when you give this short piece of
information right after you introduce
the topic
you’re actually grabbing their attention
they’re like oh really
i wonder why that’s so popular at
her university i wonder what else is
popular there
again remember fluency is not just about
the words that come out of your mouth
it’s also about encouraging the other
individual
to want to speak to you right to speak
with you and have a great conversation
so step one again you are
giving the topic and a short description
now if we move on to step number two
step number two is
giving three key features or
characteristics
the second thing you need to do is give
the three or
key features or characteristics of the
person situation
or topic you will be talking about you
should focus
only on three key features or
characteristics
now this is so interesting because i’ve
had so many conversations with my
students i’m going to drink some water
real quick guys
i have so many wonderful students and
one of my students
she would always say teacher i don’t
have three key
features right ooh this water’s good
y’all
um she said i don’t have three key
features she said i only have
two and i would always tell her hun a
hun
is another term just uh endearment it’s
just a nice way to say uh to someone
like
hey dear hey hun i say hun you know it’s
important to have
three key pieces of information it’s
very important if you only have
two later on you may forget
you might forget the information but if
you have three pieces of information
it will allow the person listening to
get a good understanding of what you’re
talking about
and once you get in the habit of
providing three pieces of information
your brain will also adapt and adjust so
whenever you’re studying something
it’s like your brain will gravitate and
grab three pieces of information
to hold on to all right so we would
always have this conversation
and exactly what i said would happen did
happen the next time we had class
she said ah teacher i can’t remember i
said i told you
your brain said oh you don’t want us to
have
three pieces of information fine we’ll
only give you two
again what i’m explaining is you’re
training your brain
to always have three pieces of
information
no matter what you’re studying again i
just drink some water right
now think about this if you talk about
this situation later
what are three pieces of information
three details or
features you can bring out from that
situation my teacher drank water
my teacher was really thirsty because
she was talking
my teacher said the water was amazing
three
key details about what just happened now
you see how naturally it was for me how
natural was for me to do that
because i’ve been practicing all my life
i’ve been learning english all my life
as a native english speaker so that’s
why it’s so important
to find three key features or
characteristics so let’s say for example
again we’re continuing
with the example we have this computer
here it looks like it’s dealing with
computer graphics as well
so again the question being what do you
study
three key details that i must understand
about computer graphics are that it
requires
an extensive understanding of various
math concepts
multiple art genres and modern
tech technology so you see
three key features or details were given
in order to understand computer graphics
it requires an extensive means of vast
abroad
right understanding of various math
concepts so now i know oh
math is important as it relates to
computer graphics math is important to
know
math art genres and technology
math art technology three key details so
now even for you
you’re watching this video maybe you
didn’t know that about computer graphics
but in my short answer giving those
three details now you have a better
understanding of
computer graphics now i want to tell you
something
you’re going to get to this point as
you’re practicing and trying to apply
these three simple steps
where you need help and that’s where
today’s sponsor comes in guys
you need to have a tutor and cambly

let’s keep going on with the lesson
y’all alright so again
we understand step number two now step
number three
is important your personal opinion
about it the third thing you need to do
is give your personal opinion
about the person situation or topic
you will be talking about you need to
remember to make your opinion clear and
easy to understand
now this is something that was a little
bit
tricky for me to teach my students when
i lived in south korea
because giving your opinion is
such a big part of american culture but
when i was in south korea it was
different
in south korea you’re used
people are used to listening to the
teacher the professor the person in
charge
and following the rules right not giving
their own personal ideas
it’s the way the culture is structured
and again korea has an amazing culture
but it’s very different from america our
culture is
based on and founded on giving your own
opinion right freedom of speech
and that’s a main or integral part of
speaking
english so giving your personal opinion
step three this is so important which
means you
have to have a good understanding of the
topic and you also have to know
hey what is my opinion what do i think
about this topic
this is very important so you’re going
to give your personal opinion
now you state a fact or a debated
situation
related to the person or topic and then
you give your personal opinion
so how is this going to be done let’s
see right here it looks like this guy
he’s looking at his computer
he’s on social media there are graphics
on this page
nice pictures right so if we go back to
our question
what do you study here is how we can
fulfill or finish this question
i am currently studying computer
graphics which is a very popular major
at my university
three key details that i must understand
about computer graphics are
that it requires an extensive
understanding of various math
concepts multiple art genres and modern
technology
now here we go now we’re getting into
the opinion section
step number three right again stating a
fact or an idea and then giving my
opinion or your opinion of that factor
idea
here we go our world is becoming more
digital so i think i made a good
choice when i chose to study computers
you see what happened right the question
what do you study
a simple question and before this lesson
you probably would have just said oh i’m
studying computer science or
oh i’m studying business and that’s
correct
but if you want to speak english
fluently you must
follow these three simple steps you must
do what
you must first state the topic what
you’re describing
and give a short description then the
second step
you must give the three key features or
details
and finally give your personal opinion
now when you start adapting and start
using these three simple steps
your english is going to go to the next
level and you will sound
more fluent guys i really hope you
enjoyed this lesson
i hope just like my student these three
simple steps will help you
i’m looking for you guys to put in the
