Practice! Practice! Practice! I am sure that you have heard this said many times for, a variety of scenarios from sports, to music, to academic studies. You not only have to practice your English but you must practice pronouncing the words correctly. It does you no good if you continually mispronounce the words you hear.

Your Go Natural English teacher, Gabby, stresses the point in this fourth step to American English fluency. Language fluency comes faster when you constantly use the new words and phrases that you have learned. By imitating the pronunciations you hear from native American English speakers, you will be reinforcing correct pronunciation while strengthening your overall English language skills.

If you listen to English every day, and read, and write what you have heard, you will be surprised at how quickly your language skills improve. Also, make sure you visit gonaturalenglish.com and connect with the Go Natural English community so you can practice, practice, and practice some more.

Episode transcript below:

The Go Natural English method Step 4 to fluency is once you’ve identified new words, and you know the meaning of the new words, then you must use them immediately.

If you don’t feel ready to use them immediately in a conversation, there are other ways to use the word.

You can simply repeat the word out loud to yourself, or you can think the word to yourself quietly in your mind.

Even doing that will really help you to remember the word.

I suggest that you listen to the word the way a native speaker says it and then you repeat the word out loud to yourself.

You could do this in the quiet of your own home; you could do it wherever you are just saying the word quietly to yourself.

Repeat it several times and try to make a connection in your mind with the sounds of the new word and a word that you already know.

It could be a word in English or a word in your native language, but it’s very important to connect new information with old information.

That’s how our memory can be accelerated, and how we can learn faster, and reach fluency faster.
