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. ✔ Handbook — FREE! Act NOW! And ask for our 40-page Fluency Handbook: How to pick up fluency in English thro’ self-study...
