Sound More Fluent with One Easy Tip—Speak Confident English

Do you listen to native speakers and think:
✨I wish I could speak English faster, like a native speaker
✨I wish I could sound more fluent
✨I wish I could sound more natural

Sometimes it is difficult to understand exactly what native speakers are doing to sound so fast.

But today I'm going to give you one easy tip to sound more fluent, speak English faster, and sound more natural.

The good news is, it is something you can do, once you know how and give it some practice. It's something I love teaching my students and now I want to share this fluency tip with you:

The secret is connected speech.

Have you heard of connected speech before?

It's possible you've never learned about it before. But that's exactly what I'm going to share with you in today's Confident English lesson.

Be sure to watch to find out exactly what connected speech is. Plus I'll share many examples so you can practice and learn how this one tip will help you sound more fluent and speak English faster.

You can also review the examples that I share in the lesson on my blog: 👇

First of all, I'd like to thank you for this great effort. Actually you're the best teacher I've ever seen on youtube. I'm non_ native speaker however I was able to get each word you're saying because of your wonderful way of speaking ( slowly and clearly).So Could you please send us more and more about these blending words and connected speech? Thanks in advance.
