Fluency > Accuracy
When you speak, do you translate from your mother tongue to English in your head? Stop.
It’s better to speak wrong English fast than perfect English slow. People forgive grammar mistakes. They don’t forgive boring pauses.
Shadowing Technique
Play a TED Talk. Listen to one sentence. Pause. Repeat it exactly like the speaker. Copy their emotion, their speed, their accent. Do this for 10 minutes. It trains your mouth muscles.
Record Yourself
Record a voice note on WhatsApp (send it to your own number). Listen to it. You will cringe. That’s good. Notice where you say “ummm” or “uhhh.” Fix it next time.
