want to speak your target language with
confidence and impress native speakers
when learning to speak a new language
you have lots of things to think about
including grammar vocabulary and
pronunciation
because you’re thinking of all of these
things and trying to speak
it can be difficult to communicate with
confidence especially in the beginning
this is why it’s helpful to make
confidence building exercises part of
your language learning process
in this video you’ll learn seven ways to
boost your confidence
one read out loud this might seem pretty
basic but it’s a great way to practice
speaking reading aloud lets you practice
speaking without having to think about
grammar or things to talk about
reading out loud lets you focus on your
pronunciation and the rhythm of the
language
it can help you learn to speak more
smoothly and quickly without even
thinking about it
if you’re using our lessons read the
dialogue out loud as you listen
you can read along with the dialogue
tool the lesson notes or the transcript
two read like a child
this might sound strange but think about
children learning to read
they go slow and sound everything out
maybe it takes two or three tries before
they read a new word smoothly
and a few more tries before they can
read it at a natural pace
this example applies to language
learning too if you find a complex
sentence in something you’re reading
read it slowly at first then speed up
with practice you’ll be able to say it
easily
it might feel a bit silly to speak very
slowly but this kind of practice can
help you identify tough sounds you might
miss
or say incorrectly when reading quickly
three use the dialog breakdown tool
if you’re using our site this is a great
tool to take advantage of
it breaks down lesson conversations into
individual lines
you can listen to the audio for each
line learn what each line means
and can re-read and review as much as
you want
four use the voice recorder to record
and compare yourself with native
speakers
just click on the microphone icon next
to each line in the dialog
section you can use this tool to perfect
your pronunciation if you like
but this is also something you can use
to work on speaking with confidence at
native level speed
you’ll find this tool in the dialog
section of all of our lessons
five repeat and review old lesson
conversations
reviewing what you’ve studied in the
past is the best way to make sure you
maintain what you’ve learned
go back to older lessons download the
lesson dialogue tracks and re-listen to
the conversations again and again
or you can re-read the dialogue lines
from previous lessons until you’ve
mastered them all
- shadow conversations repeat what you
hear out loud
this tactic is important but it can be
tricky when you’re doing a brand new
lesson
if you’re reviewing dialogues from
lessons you’ve done know it’s super easy
to do
just listen to the dialogue and repeat
what you hear
shadowing means mimicking the speaker as
soon as they speak
following their intonation and rhythms
as closely as possible
seven send recordings to your premium

and you get just that with a premium
plus teacher
you can record yourself reciting a
lesson dialogue or

teacher will give you specific tips on
how to improve
from the tips your teacher gives you
choose at least one and practice
practice
practice being able to react quickly and
with confidence in a conversation
is typically not something you can do on
your first try
but if you continue practicing you’ll
gradually find yourself speaking with
ease

speaking confidence
