Advance Tips for Spoken

Now you know how to practise the ‘physical’ side here’s something you can do to improve the ‘mental’ side to fluency;
Learn phrases not just words – You have probably heard this before, many English learners will write down a big long list of words with the translation next to it, this is probably the worst thing you can do.  You are making your brain work in a very unnatural and complicated way. By learning phrases, you are making it easier for yourself when you speak as you’re not having to think of each individual word.
For example:
‘What are you going to do at the weekend?’
I’m going to……….
I’m thinking about…….
I might……
Now, try to think of different endings to these phrases.

If you learn a language in big pieces (phrases) you only have to remember 2 things;
(I’m going to) + (go to the cinema)
(I’m going to) + (clean my house)
(I’m thinking about) + (seeing my friends)
(I might) + (go for a walk)

By learning like this, it makes it easier to respond to questions like this and speak more fluently.
Let’s look at another way;
I ­­­­_______ on Wednesday
I (went to the park) on Wednesday
I (had an exam) on Wednesday
I (got a new job) on Wednesday
This is a much more natural way to learning vocabulary.
