2. DEVELOPING SPEAKING SKILLS
How can we develop our speaking skills?
The first thing is, that we need to build a strong foundation. That means that we need to expand our vocabulary in order to express ourselves fluently in English.
And what I mean by that? I mean that we need to learn new words every day - 10 per day or 15, it can also be less. We can use for example YouTube and different language apps. It is also important to lean all those words that we’ve learned in phrases and sentences (to link them together, to use some functional expressions).

Speaking With Intention
By speaking clearly and maintaining eye contact, we can use words to hypnotize the audience.
Even our pauses in between our words can be used to gather our thoughts and make the listeners reflect on what you have just said.
Be Clear And Concise
- Do not obscure your message by words that are there to decorate the sentence and make it sound wordy while camouflaging what you mean.
- Make good use of qualifiers ("I think, In my opinion") while not coming across as a perpetually confused person. Don’t use qualifier...
