How to Speak English Fluently
Learn with Robby Kukurs,
a Fellow Language Learner and Blogger
If you have been trying to learn how to speak English fluently for a while, then you might be feeling a bit frustrated.
Am I right?
When asked what their goals are, most students learning English state that they want to speak English fluently.
Fluency:
The ability to express oneself readily and effortlessly
What does that mean to you?
- Speaking grammatically correct English?
- Not making any mistakes?
- Feeling confidant despite your mistakes?
- Sounding like a native English Speaker?
The list could go on and on. Everyone defines fluency differently.
That is why I team-up with English Harmony creator Robby Kukurs to bring you this article section focusing specifically on your English fluency issues.
Speaking from my own experience, learning a language, fluency is the idea that I can communicate with others without hesitation, confusion or misunderstandings. I imagine a "utopia" where I speak perfectly.
This obviously does not exist --not even for native speakers-- but it is this "idea" that pushes me to improve, study, and search for new ways to make the process easier.
