HAT IS IT that prevents most
educated people who write good
English from speaking it quite fluently? The culprit is a wrong impression:
They’re under the wrong impression that
the right way to speak English is to speak it
the way they write an essay or report.
And whenever they start speaking in English, they try to speak the way they write.
That is, they try to force written English
thro’ the medium of speech. Like trying to
force bricks thro’ a water pipe. Is there any
wonder they stumble, stammer & falter?
language-learning tools. And not fluencybuilding tools. And so they’re not capable
of helping you master fluency units and
fluency strategies. This may sound incredible at first. But this is a fact.
No, classroom training cannot make
you fluent in speech. • Nor can e-learning.
• Nor audio cassettes/CDs. • Nor videos. •
Nor language laboratories. • Nor readymade sentences. • Nor learning done thro’
your mother tongue. No.
Of course, some of these methods may
help you utter one-line English — here and
The liberating truth
So here’s the 1st truth: Spoken English is
not written English said aloud. And nobody can speak English fluently if they try
to speak the way they write. Nobody.
So, to speak English fluently, you need a
set of tools that are wholly different from
the set of tools that help you write English.
So the very first thing you should do is
this: Acquire fluency-building knowledge &
skills. And whenever you speak, speak only
according to fluency-building knowledge &
skills — and not according to your written
English knowledge & skills.
The great news is, this first step is also
the last step: Master the fluency-building
knowledge & skills — and whenever you
start speaking in English, your word clusters start flowing out . Readily. Easily. Instead of just remaining on the tip of your
tongue. This is the 2nd truth.
7 wrong methods
Mind you, conventional methods are only
Understand this: Every real-life speech
situation brings up new twists and turns
— and throws up new speech-composition problems. And fluency is your ability
to navigate these twists and turns. And
to keep up a steady flow of speech.
So the fluency skill is a unique skill. The
only one of its kind... And so, you can’t learn
it in the same way as you learn other skills —
computer skills, or mathematics or swimming. Fluency skill needs a different approach. A completely different approach.
Self-study: Smart people’s
way to pro-like fluency
Absolute Gem!
“Fluentzy... The finest contribution English language has ever
received from outside an Englishspeaking country.”
– The New Indian Express.
there: One-line statements. One-line questions. One-line replies. One-line instructions. But mind you, true fluency is something else. Something totally different.
WHAT IS TRUE FLUENCY?
You can’t call yourself truly fluent just because you can speak one-line English here
and there, can you?
You’re truly fluent only when you can
speak continuously. At length. By giving
supporting details, reasons, justifications,
and illustrative examples of situations and
events. Easily, clearly, confidently. Without
unwanted hesitations. That too, in newer &
newer situations. Even in situations you’ve
had no training in. Spontaneously. Without
prior planning. Or advance preparation.
There’s only one way to master the fluencyskill: Self-directed self-study. That is the only
way. No teacher-dependent method can
help. You should do independent study —
outside classrooms. Yes, outside. Teach
yourself. Without a teacher.
Yes. The fluency skill can only be mastered
directly. Thro’ self-effort. Without a
teacher coming between you and the learning process. Only then will the fluency skill
become your skill. And this is the 3rd truth.
Fluentzy, the world’s most sought-after
fluency-building system, makes this selfstudy quite easy. Easier than you think.
