Let’s recap what we’ve been talking about. (translation: summarize)
We talked about WHAT you must do to be a better speaking (speak).
We talked about HOW to do that (put yourself in a situation where you must speak).
Atomic Homework
After One Year Speaking Was STILL A Problem
Do you want to live in London?
Do you think that will improve your English?
It might.
Forced To Speak English
Imagine this….
You want to get in shape.
You have two choices.
My #1 tip for speaking practice
Last week was all about why.
Why you must practice speaking if you want to be a fluent English speaker.
This week, we’re talking about how.
Can You Practice Speaking This Way?
I used to date a Slovak girl in Prague.
She spoke many languages.
Her method?
Lots of English in Prague!
How was your weekend?
Mine was busy.
I had about 45 guests visit me in Prague.
Use It Or Lose It
Yesterday, I told you I moved to Paris after college and learned more French in three months than in seven years sitting in classrooms.
But then I moved back to the US after a few months and…
I started to forget!
Is My Story The Same As Your Story?
My language journey was probably like yours.
But instead of studying English rules and translations in school, I studied French.
And just a few months after my last French class ended, I got on an airplane to have some adventures in Paris.
Hurray! Let’s Celebrate!
It seems I’ve done it!
It seems I’ve created a first…a one-of-a-kind… something unique… an original…
Yesterday, I asked you, dear reader, if you have ever encountered an all-day conversation club.
Is this true?
“What do you do?”
In English, that’s a more common way to ask, “What’s your job?”
Recently, someone asked me that question.
