Hi, it's Alfredo.
During the summer before my senior year of college, I spent eight weeks in Quebec, which
is a French-speaking province in Canada.
I was nervous ahead of time because had never spoken with a native speaker of French.
In fact, before the trip, the only people that I had spoken French with were my French
teachers and the other students from my French classes at college.
When I finally started speaking with native speakers of French in the town of Matane,
it was a thrilling experience.
I found that because of the vocabulary and the grammar that I had learned, I could speak
without pausing very much at all.
Are you eager to speak English without stopping to search your mind for the vocabulary that
you need?
You need to learn vocabulary so well that when it's time for you to use more advanced
words, you can use them fluently.
Take time now to read the article "5 Steps to Increasing Your English Vocabulary," which
is below this video.
Also, in the comments at the bottom of the page, give an example of a vocabulary word
that you have learned recently along with a definition of the word or an example sentence
that uses the word.
