WHAT IS IT that prevents mosteducated people who write goodEnglish from speaking it quite flu-
ently? The culprit is a wrong impression:They’re under the wrong impression thatthe right way to speak English is to speak itthe way they write an essay or report.
And whenever they start speaking in En-glish, they try to speak the way they write.
That is, they try to force written Englishthro’ the medium of speech. Like trying toforce bricks thro’ a water pipe. Is there anywonder they stumble, stammer & falter?
The liberating truthSo here’s the 1st truth: Spoken English isnot written English said aloud. And no-body can speak English fluently if they tryto speak the way they write. Nobody.
So, to speak English fluently, you need aset of tools that are wholly different fromthe set of tools that help you write English.
Secret of the silver-tonguedSo the very first thing you should do isthis: Acquire fluency-building knowledge &skills. And whenever you speak, speak onlyaccording to fluency-building knowledge &skills — and not according to your writtenEnglish knowledge & skills.
The great news is, this first step is alsothe last step: Master the fluency-buildingknowledge & skills — and whenever youstart speaking in English, your word clus-ters start flowing out . Readily. Easily. In-stead of just remaining on the tip of yourtongue. This is the 2nd truth.
7 wrong methodsMind you, conventional methods are only
language-learning tools. And not fluency-building tools. And so they’re not capableof helping you master fluency units andfluency strategies. This may sound incred-ible at first. But this is a fact.
No, classroom training cannot makeyou fluent in speech. • Nor can e-learning.• Nor audio cassettes/CDs. • Nor videos. •Nor language laboratories. • Nor ready-made sentences. • Nor learning done thro’your mother tongue. No.
Of course, some of these methods mayhelp you utter one-line English — here and
there: One-line statements. One-line ques-tions. One-line replies. One-line instruc-tions. But mind you, true fluency is some-thing else. Something totally different.
WHAT IS TRUE FLUENCY?You can’t call yourself truly fluent just be-cause you can speak one-line English hereand there, can you?
You’re truly fluent only when you canspeak continuously. At length. By givingsupporting details, reasons, justifications,and illustrative examples of situations andevents. Easily, clearly, confidently. Withoutunwanted hesitations. That too, in newer &newer situations. Even in situations you’vehad no training in. Spontaneously. Withoutprior planning. Or advance preparation.
Understand this: Every real-life speechsituation brings up new twists and turns— and throws up new speech-composi-tion problems. And fluency is your abilityto navigate these twists and turns. Andto keep up a steady flow of speech.
So the fluency skill is a unique skill. Theonly one of its kind... And so, you can’t learnit in the same way as you learn other skills —computer skills, or mathematics or swim-ming. Fluency skill needs a different ap-proach. A completely different approach.
Self-study: Smart people’sway to pro-like fluencyThere’s only one way to master the fluency-skill: Self-directed self-study. That is the onlyway. No teacher-dependent method canhelp. You should do independent study —outside classrooms. Yes, outside. Teachyourself. Without a teacher.
Yes. The fluency skill can only be mastereddirectly . Thro’ self-effort. Without ateacher coming between you and the learn-ing process. Only then will the fluency skillbecome your skill. And this is the 3rd truth.Fluentzy, the world’s most sought-after
fluency-building system, makes this self-study quite easy. Easier than you think.
