Most learners want to reach fluently: no hesitation, spot-on pronunciation, fast, seamless speeches... The dream! But as you try to speak quickly, you may also forget the number one truth about true fluency: it's all about comfort. Fluency is first and foremost about feeling at ease when you speak. So today, instead of practising speaking quickly, you're going to practise speaking slowly and comfortably, and you'll learn to move from speaking slowly to speaking fluently.
You're going to learn:
- why speaking quickly hinders your overall speaking performance
- how slowing down improves your accuracy and confidence
- how to practise slow speech
Today's takeaway:
1. SLOW DOWN. It's that simple.
2. Speaking slowly will help you focus and develop your pronunciation, which in turn will help you speak more fluently and connect with native speakers.
3. Your pronunciation matters. It is the #1 reason French speakers tune out when having conversations with non-native speakers.
