Hi , I can never express my ideas fluently in oral English. Would you give me some advice? Thank you.

Answer:

Hi Blair,

Thanks for asking your question. Well first of all, the only way to get better is to DO what you want to improve.

How do you become a better tennis player? You play tennis.

How do you draw better? You draw more.

So if you want to improve your fluency you need to speak more.

This can be difficult when you do not have anyone to speak with but even if you speak to yourself you are practising.

IDEA: Get a list of ideas or topics and try to talk about them.

Imagine you are giving a presentation or trying to explain something to a friend. To make it more interesting you could record yourself and then try to correct or make your vocabulary or expressions better.

I'm going to let Charles speak about how pronunciation can affect your fluency and how you can improve or work on your pronuncation.

Many people take pronunciation for granted (they don't think it is important) but it really is!

Have a great day Blair!
