Speaking Flow 5 lectures 01:20:31 Fluency Tips There are some key tips to remember throughout this course and as you continue to work on fluency. These are:

• Never speak flatly, like a robot.
• Natural English is blended. Words are often not pronounced separately.
• You have to be very aware of how native English speakers talk, and how you talk.
• Recording yourself is a great way to find issues with fluency.
• There are rules, but not all of them work.
• Relax!

Blending Part 1 Blending means connecting the ending sound of one word with the beginning sounds of the next. By blending sounds (which all native English speakers do), your sentences can flow more easily and you can sound more natural. One simple kind of blending is for words with common consonants or vowels. When the ending consonant or vowel sound of the first word is the same as the beginning of the second, the two words will generally be glued together when you say them. Jumping When words don't share common consonant or vowel sounds, jumping form one word to the next can make the sentence sound more smooth and natural. In order to do this, you have to rethink the separation of words. In fact, to sound more fluent when speaking, you can jump from one word to the next by speaking the last sound of one word as though it were the first sound of the next. 'T' Time Part 1 The 'T' sound is a pretty hard sound and often stops the flow of the sentence and decreases speed. However, there are some different forms of the 'T' which are much softer and easy to use. These sounds are used in specific places, and there are rules about where these forms should go, but it's also important to remember that rules in English don't always work. Rules in English are general guidelines. 'T' Time Part 2 The 'T' sound is a pretty hard sound and often stops the flow of the sentence and decreases speed.
