5 Speaking Rules you need to know!

1. Don't study grammar too much

This rule might sound strange to many ESL students, but it is

one of the most important rules. If you want to pass

examinations, then study grammar. However, if you want to

become fluent in English, then you should try to learn English

without studying the grammar.

Studying grammar will only slow you down and confuse you.

ou will thin! about the rules when creating sentences instead

of naturally saying a sentence li!e a native. "emember that

only a small fraction of English spea!ers !now more than #$%

of all the grammar rules. &any ESL students !now more

grammar than native spea!ers. I can confidently say this with

experience. I am a native English spea!er, ma'ored in English

Literature, and have been teaching English for more than ($

years. However, many of my students !now more details aboutEnglish grammar than I do. I can easily loo! up the definition

and apply it, but I don)t !now it off the top of my head.

I often as! my native English friends some grammar *uestions,

and only a few of them !now the correct answer. However, they

are fluent in English and can read, spea!, listen, and

communicate effectively.

+o you want to be able to recite the definition of a causative

verb, or do you want to be able to spea! English fluently

2. Learn and study phrases

&any students learn vocabulary and try to put many words

together to create a proper sentence. It ama-es me how manywords some of my students !now, but they cannot create a

proper sentence. The reason is because they didn)t study

phrases. hen children learn a language, they learn both

words and phrases together. Li!ewise, you need to study and

learn phrases.

If you !now ($$$ words, you might not be able to say one

correct sentence. /ut if you !now ( phrase, you can ma!e

hundreds of correct sentences. If you !now ($$ phrases, you

will be surprised at how many correct sentences you will be

able to say. 0inally, when you !now only a ($$$ phrases, you

will be almost a fluent English spea!er.

The English Spea!ing /asicssection is a great example of

ma!ing numerous sentences with a single phrase. So don)t

spend hours and hours learning many different words. 1se that

time to study phrases instead and you will be closer to English

fluency.

Don't translate

hen you want to create an English sentence, do not translate

the words from your &other tongue. The order of words is

probably completely different and you will be both slow and

incorrect by doing this. Instead, learn phrases and sentences

so you don)t have to thin! about the words you are saying. It

should be automatic.

2nother problem with translating is that you will be trying to

incorporate grammar rules that you have learned. Translating

and thin!ing about the grammar to create English sentences is

incorrect and should be avoided.

3. Reading and Listening is NOT enough. Practice

Speaing !hat you hear"

"eading, listening, and spea!ing are the most important

aspects of any language. The same is true for English.

However, spea!ing is the only re*uirement to be fluent. It is

normal for babies and children to learn spea!ing first, becomefluent, then start reading, then writing. So the natural order is

listening, spea!ing, reading, then writing.

#irst Pro$lem

Isn)t it strange that schools across the world teach reading

first, then writing, then listening, and finally spea!ing

2lthough it is different, the main reason is because when you

learn a second language, you need to read material to

understand and learn it. So even though the natural order is

listening, spea!ing, reading, then writing, the order for ESL

students is reading, listening, spea!ing, then writing.

Second Pro$lem

The reason many people can read and listen is because that)s

all they practice. /ut in order to spea! English fluently, youneed to practice spea!ing. +on)t stop at the listening portion,

and when you study, don)t 'ust listen. Spea! out loud the

material you are listening to and practice what you hear.

3ractice spea!ing out loud until your mouth and brain can do it

without any effort. /y doing so, you will be able to spea!

English fluently.

%. Su$merge yoursel&

/eing able to spea! a language is not related to how smart you

are. 2nyone can learn how to spea! any language. This is a

proven fact by everyone in the world. Everyone can spea! at

least one language. hether you are intelligent, or lac!ing

some brain power, you are able to spea! one language.

This was achieved by being around that language at all times.


4/6

In your country, you hear and spea! your language constantly.

ou will notice that many people who are good English

spea!ers are the ones who studied in an English spea!ing

school. They can spea! English not because they went to anEnglish spea!ing school, but because they had an environment

where they can be around English spea!ing people constantly.

There are also some people who study abroad and learn very

little. That is because they went to an English spea!ing school,

but found friends from their own country and didn)t practice

English.

ou don)t have to go anywhere to become a fluent English

spea!er. ou only need to surround yourself with English. ou

can do this by ma!ing rules with your existing friends that you

will only spea! English. ou can also carry around an i3od and

constantly listen to English sentences. 2s you can see, you can

achieve results by changing what your surroundings are.

Submerge yourself in English and you will learn several timesfaster.
