2.4. Rhythm

While we are learning how to speak a language, we should also pay attention on how native speakers talk. They talk with rhythm, which is the overall result of the things that I mentioned on the top of this blog post – the result of linking, stress and contractions.

MORE IDEAS ON THIS

3. PRONUNCIATION

After all that said, we come to more serious problem. The biggest problem of English or any other language, is that we might know a lot of words, we’ve learned all the vocabulary, but we still pronounce the words wrong and because of that, we'll not be understood, then there’s very little point o...

1. INTRO

We all know how important is English these days, so the ability to speak it well will open many doors for your career and social life. That’s why we need to focus on our learning goals and achieve them as well.

2.1. Sounds

And that also applies for sounds. We put two sounds together, make them disappear or even change the sound for a better flow. The flow is a secret! With the flow we come to better speaking skills.

2.2. Stressing Of Words

All that is connected with stressing of words as well, which is another important thing to keep in mind.

There are stressed / unstressed syllables in a word and stressed / unstressed words in a sentence.

2.3. Contractions

If the person is not sure where to put a stress, the best way to find out is to look up in the dictionary. If we want to sound even more “professional”, I suggest you to use contractions.

Contractions are shortened forms of two words.

3.2. Use Of Dictionaries

Ue online dictionaries (as I already mentioned) and their speakers to know how to pronounce certain word in every accent.

3.5. Identifying Our Weaknesses

Idntify your weaknesses! We can spend our time by focusing on which English sounds are the most difficult for us personally and write them down. Then the other step is to type in google “Tongue Twisters” and search for the list with a lot of those sounds and practice.

3.4. Listening Comprehension + Recording

We can also practice our pronunciation by listening to the videos on YouTube with subtitles and try to imitate a native speakers, speak out loud and record ourselves. After recording we can compare our recording and the original.

3.3. Repetition

We can practice English with repeating the words over and over again.

Repetition!

We cannot expect to improve our pronunciation or speaking skills, if we only say a word once. And the best exercise fo...

2.5. Training Of Mouth Muscles And Participation

Another tip is, that we can make ourselves more understood by simply training our mouth muscles with different word games, so that we can produce the sounds of English properly.

More fun strategy for developing speaking skills is participation. Participation in public speaking events in un...

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 p...

3.1. Focus On Articulation

A lot of people make mistakes while speaking, and the main reason is their speed of speaking. I personally have (sometimes) the same problem. When we talk too fast, we swallow the words that are not supposed to be swallowed. We should pay attention on how our month is moving and making sure that ...

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
