Do you want to improve your level of English, so that you're confident
speaking in English, and enable you to speak
English fluently? In this video lesson,
we'll go through 10 steps to speak
English fluently. Together we'll go through this 10 steps
to help you improve your level of English and
to enable you to speak English fluently.
Before we go through the 10 steps to speak
in English fluently, I would love to hear from you.
How long have you been learning English for? Have you been learning
English for 5 years, or three years,
of 2 years, for one month.
Tell me in the comments below this video. How long
how you been learning English for? Regardless to
how long you've been learning English for, use this 10 steps
to improve your confidence when speaking in English,
and to enable you to speak English fluently.
Let's begin by looking at the first step, that being
why are you learning English? In order to
speak English fluently, to remain consistent,
and to improve your level of English,
it's very important to understand why are you learning English.
Are you learning English to get a promotion?
Are you learning English to get a new job?
Are you learning English to move abroad?
Are you learning English to study abroad? Why are you
learning English? Clearly define, friends,
on a piece of paper, why you are learning English.
By you clearly defining why you are learning English,
by writing this why down on a piece of paper,
this will help you with the next step.
Second step to speaking English fluently is to be positive.
I have talked a lot about this in previous video lessons,
but learning English, developing the ability to learn
use, and to speak in English fluently,
recquires you to have a positive mindset.
Friends, it will be hard at times. You will get stuck,
you may not remember different words, you may
want to translate, and when you translate,
you're probably translating that in the wrong way,
in the English language, but you will make mistakes.
It will not be easy all the time,
learning English, speaking in English,
and improving your confidence.
For this reason, it is very important for you to be positive.
Have a positive mindset and imagine yourself.
So, in the first step, we defined
why are you learning English. Let's get
the situation that you're learning English to get a promotion.
Imagine yourself speaking at work
in English, holding presentations in English,
full confidence that you're
not translating, you're not getting stuck, you're speaking
in English at work. By you having a
positive mindset when learning English, it will
improve your ability to achieve
English fluency faster. When we are negative, friends,
we don't wanna learn. We don't wanna do anything.
We are not motivated. If you do get down,
if you do get a little bit depressed, or
you're not happy with your level of English, think back to
why you're learning English, and imagine yourself
using English, speaking in English, doing
what you want to do using
that English language. In the first two steps we've
gone through the importance of understanding why you're learning
English, so that you can complete the second step,
which is to remain positive, to remain on target
and accomplish your goal
The third step is to identify what type of learner are you.
Are you a visual learner? So, do you
see things, and you remember things better when you see them?
Are you an audio learner? So, you like to listen
to people talking about things, and you better
remember those words, phrases and expressions
when you hear them? Or are you a type of learner
who likes to read and write? So, you learn better
when you read something and you write it down?
Or are you one of those learners which are touchy-feely?
So, you're a kinestethic learner, you like to touch
and you learn by touching and doing?
Friends, identify what type of learner you are,
so that you can incorporate and use this learning
style every day, more
often when learning the English language. By you
also identifying what type of learner you are, you'll be
more motivated. Learning English will come more naturally
to you, because you, you learn like this,
naturally, and you want to learn English like that.
It will be easier for you. Identify
what type of learner you are, and
learn English in this way. The fourth
step to achieving Enlighs fluency, is to make English
a part of your everyday life. Friends, for you to
be able to improve your English, to speak English fluently,
you have to be using English
every single day. The more you use English, the faster
your level of English will improve. You can do this
by listening to podcasts, listening to music
in English, watching your favourite TV show
in English, by reading newspapers, by reading
boks in English. The options are endless.
Make English a part of your everyday life,
to enable you to learn new words and phrases
but also to keep you immersed in the
English language. Take a few minutes to
write down on a piece of paper exactly how you can make
English a part of your everyday life.
Associate this, link this back to your learning style,
write this down on a piece of paper, and do this more often.
Fantastic. So, third step,
you've identified what type of learner you are,
and in the fourth step, you are pushing yourself to make
English a part of your everyday life.
In the fifth step, you should be challenging yourself.
You should be challenging yourself and pushing yourself
to be using English every single day.
Ideally, this should be in spoken form.
You should be speaking in English for
a minium of 5 minutes a day.
This challenge should not be easy. You should be
challenging yourself to talk about different topics,
in English, which you haven't talked about
before. Friends, by you challenging yourself to speak
to other people in English, this will
improve your confidence. This will improve your ability to think
faster in English, to think of words,
phrases and expression you have to use in certain
situations speaking in English. You could
be speaking online, you could be speaking offline.
You could be going out, speaking to friends
in English, speaking English more,
speaking English with real people, use your English
and you will see your confidence and fluency will improve.
The sixth step is a step that I really
push a lot of my students to do, and I think it's one
of the most important steps to be able to speak in English
fluently and to develop your confidence
simply using words, phrases and expressions
in English. Sixth step is writing.
Write in English on a consistent basis
for 5 minutes day. Friends, this writing
should be free writing. Get a pen and paper,
a great way you could do this is to keep a journal, to keep a diary,
to write what you'll be doing tomorrow,
what you did today, just write,
free writing in English. Now, you may be
wondering: But how is this going to improve my spoken English?
Friends, by you writing,
you're not speaking to anybody, yes, this is true.
But you are forcing your brain to think in English.
So, you're forcing yourself to use those words, phrases
and expressions you've heard on paper.
If you don't have the opportunity to speak to anybody,
in English, you can train your brain to write
regularly, for five minutes a day,
and you will see that when you have to speak,
in English, you will be able to do this a lot
faster. If you're struggling to start, just write
simple sentences. Write: I went to the shops today.
I ate a banana for breakfast.
And you will see that if you remain consistent
with this, it will get a lot easier,
and you will see that in a weeks time, you'll be writing a lot more.
Be consistent, write down, write
in English every single day for about 5 minutes,
and you will see that your ability
to speak in English will improve,
and your English fluency will improve.
The seventh step is to do something in English.
Friends, you want to be doing activities using
the English language, because by you doing things
that you love in English, you'll be more motivated
to speak in English, to actually express
and to talk to people doing those activities.
Let's go to an example: if you're living in an English speaking country.
If you're living in an English speaking country, sign up
for a gym class. If you like working out, go
to the gym, do this in English. If you like
knitting, find a knitting club, find
other people knitting in English, and do this
only with English speakers.
If you like to play soccer, find a soccer club,
sign up for a soccer team, and play
soccer on a regular basis with other English speakers.
Now, if you are not living in an English speaking coutry,
you can also do things using the
English language that you like online.
Find an online community, be that
a Facebook group, Whatsup groups, find
English speakers doing things you like using
the English language. There are many Facebook
groups out there you can use, interact
speak to English speakers about things
that you like. By you
doing activities using the English language, you are
interested. You're interested in learning English,
you'll be relating this to your why, and you'll be more
consistent. You won't be in those
activities or those communities because you have to be
there for learning English. You'll be there
because you genuinely want to speak to those people.
And because you want to speak to those people, you're gonna have to speak to them
in English. The eighth step to speak
English fluently is to celebrate. Celebrate small victories. Remember, we did begin
this lesson saying it's very important to have a positive mindset,
so that you are consistent, and you want to
congratulate yourself, give yourself a pat on the back when you
do things, when you speak regularly,
in English, when you're immersing yourself
in English, reward yourself.
Celebrate the fact that you are being consistent,
be that you want to give yourself a chocolate bar, whatever you want to do,
reward yourself.
ccelebrate the fact that you are consistent.
Celebrate the fact that you did push yourself to speak to another
person in English. Congratulate yourself,
reward yourself, and you will want to
continue learning English. The ninth step
to speaking English fluently is patience.
Patience is the key to success and happiness, friends.
You have to be patient. Learning
any new skill in life takes time.
Let alone learning a language. Understand that it will take you
time. It will take you time to master
the English language, but be patient.
Be patient and in time, you will see improvement,
and you will see that you will be able to speak
English fluently. The tenth step, the final step
and the most important step to achieveing
English fluency, being able to speak English fluently,
is to make mistakes.
Friends, mistakes are so important.
Native English speakers make them all the time.
I've probably made a hundred mistakes in this video lesson.
We learn from our mistakes. Go out there,
speak to other English speakers, make mistakes,
learn from your mistakes, improve, and avoid
there mistakes in the future.
Instead of perceiving mistakes as being a bad thing, think of
mistakes as being great things.
Think of it like this: Say you make 10
grammatical errors today. But you'll learn ten
new grammar points you can use
better use tomorrow. Think of those mistakes
as improvement you can make tomorrow when speaking
in English, when speaking to other English speakers.
Friends, I would like to highlight that the more that you practice, the more you use your English, the faster you'll improve your English
fluently. There you have it friends, those are the 10 steps
you can use to improve your level of English,
and to finally be able to speak English fluently.
