MORE SPOKEN ENGLISH STUDY
After you finish the SPOKEN ENGLISH LEARNED QUICKLY lessons, there are
three things you can do which will help you increase your ability to speak fluent
English.
I. Listen to the voice recordings
When you finish all of the lessons in the Spoken English Student Workbook,
you will have learned much about spoken English and you will have a large
vocabulary. But you will not be a fluent English speaker. Fluent speech is more
than knowing vocabulary and using correct sentences. Before you will be able to
speak fluently—and be understood well by English listeners—you must be able to
speak with the same rhythm and pronunciation as an English speaker. For most
students, learning the rhythm and pronunciation of a new language will take more
effort and time than learning vocabulary and grammar.
The best way to learn the correct rhythm and pronunciation of English is to use
the SPOKEN ENGLISH LEARNED QUICKLY CDs. For at least one year after you have
finished the Spoken English Student Workbook lessons, you should use the voice
recordings for at least one hour each day. Listen and repeat each exercise (without
looking at the book) just as you did when you were studying the lessons. Continue
using the voice recordings until you can respond with exactly the same rhythm and
pronunciation as the voice on the CD.
It will take more effort to work each day on your English rhythm and
pronunciation than it did to do the lessons. However, if you want to learn to speak
English well, practicing speaking using an English accent is the only way you can
succeed. (A language's accent is its rhythm and pronunciation.)
II. Read a newspaper
Reading a newspaper is another excellent way to practice spoken English. Most
newspapers use important English vocabulary words. A newspaper will give you
many common political, scientific, economic, and technical words. The Test of
English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exams often use words that are frequently
found in English newspapers.
