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
more
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

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
