why is speaking the number one weakness
for most language learners
some time ago we sent out a survey to
find out a little more about you we
asked about what you like what you don't
like your strengths and your weaknesses
one question asked you to rate your
abilities in listening speaking reading
and writing over 70 percent of people
surveyed answered that their biggest
weakness is speaking in this video
you'll find out why speaking is a common
weakness you'll also learn six ways you
can start improving your speaking skills
right now
this is a common issue for language
learners but why is speaking the number
one weakness for most learners it's
pretty simple when you consider that you
get better at what you focus on
you get better at what you focus on when
people start learning a language they
usually start with reading most learners
start with textbooks learners taking
their first class probably spend most of
their time doing homework and reviewing
information in their textbook spending
maybe only 30 minutes a week or so
repeating words in class
if you spend most of your time reading
you'll get better at reading but your
speaking skills won't grow
it's like exercising just one muscle
that single muscle will get stronger but
the other ones which are ignored stay
small
this is why speaking is such a common
weakness for learners if you want to
improve your speaking skills you need to
spend more time speaking here are six
ways you can start right now
number one get a native speaker tutor to
practice with a common issue is most
people don't have access to teachers or
native speakers or they just don't have
the time to meet with one but with our
premium plus plan you get your very own
on-site teacher you can practice
speaking by recording yourself and
having them review it one popular tactic
is to talk about your day to do this
send three recordings one in the morning
one in the afternoon and one at night
your teacher will review your recordings
and then give you corrections and
feedback number two get conversation
based lessons in the lesson library if
you visit your lesson library you can
sort lessons by conversation reading
writing vocab grammar or culture so
select conversations and you'll see the
lessons that expose you to conversations
and get you speaking the language
number three read out loud
while you're listening to a lesson and
reading along with the notes try reading
out loud then re-read and speed up your
tempo if you're reading out loud you're
practicing your speaking skills and by
increasing your speed you'll also be
able to talk faster and with confidence
do this again and again until you can
speak faster number four prepare things
to say ahead of time most learners
especially beginners run out of things
to say but if you prepare lines ahead of
time you won't have to worry about this
start speaking with prepared lines from
our 3 minute video lessons top 25
questions lessons survival phrases
lessons and other lessons that you'll
find in the lesson library number five
shadow conversations
this means you should repeat the
dialogues as you hear them in every
lesson you learn a new conversation so
try to shadow the conversation line by
line
premium and premium plus users use the
dialog tool with this method and you'll
master conversations faster number six
review again and again
regular review is essential to mastery
many learners don't review if you review
and repeat lines again and again you'll
speak better faster and with more
confidence
