English Tip: Practice speaking quickly

One of the best ways to learn English fluency is to practice speaking quickly. Practicing quick speech keeps the lips and tongue supple and prevents mumbling. It also helps with the thinking process and breaks you out of those unwanted ummm.., uhhh, well moments that we all experience.

Here are three ways to help with your speaking quickly practice.

1. Recite a passage from a book as quickly as possible.

"Anyway, the sound I heard was just like that time. There aren't any little kids living next door, so it's weird to hear something shatter so loudly, and the whole thing was kind of alarming. Maybe a burglar broke in. My heart beating like mad, I listened carefully but didn't hear anything else. Total silence."

2. Tongue twisters are another useful tool for enunciation.

I saw Susie sitting in a shoe shine shop.
Where she sits she shines, and where she shines she sits.

The thinkers thought of how they three thinkers were thirsty on that Thursday.

3. Try singing or reciting "The Major General's Song" from "Pirates of Penzance"
