Want to finally start speaking in your target language? |
In this guide, you'll discover the Top 7 Ways to practice speaking —on your own — with our lessons. |
Let’s begin! |
Number one: Shadowing |
Shadowing is a proven learning technique where all you do is.. repeat what you hear, in order to practice speaking. |
So, access any Audio or Video lesson on the site, and press the play button to start. |
Then, as you listen or watch, just repeat the conversations. Or even easier, read along, out loud, with the dialog section. The script is right there in front of you. |
With our lessons, you can master entire conversations just like that. |
Number two: Read out loud. |
I just mentioned it but reading out loud is another powerful tactic... and deserves its own mention. |
With every lesson, you get written, word-for-word transcripts and translations. |
So, as you play the lesson, read the dialog out loud as you hear it. |
Why? By reading out loud, you’re also practicing your speaking skills. |
You can do this with the lesson notes... |
...the lesson transcript... |
...or the dialog tool. |
With the dialog tool, you can listen to each line again and again |
...and repeat out loud until you master them all completely. |
Number three: Speed up your reading to speed up your speaking |
Fact: Being able to speak without thinking is a sign of language mastery. |
If you’re talking to a native and can respond quickly, they’ll assume that you’re fairly fluent. |
How can you do this? |
When you read... out loud, try increasing your speed, every time. |
So, start by reading with the Dialog tool. |
If you’re like most learners, you’ll read the first line slowly. |
That’s because you’re still getting used to the words – which is okay. |
Re-read it. On your second try, you know most of the words and you’ll read a little faster... |
Re-read it again. On your third try, you’ll be even faster - at a native speaker’s speed. |
And being able to read these phrases, out loud and fast... |
...will help you speak fast. |
Number four: Record and compare yourself with native speakers |
In order to sound like a native speaker... you must imitate native speakers. |
So, here's how. Access the voice recorder |
...which is in the Dialog study tool in every lesson.... |
Click on the microphone icon, listen to the native speaker’s audio... |
...and then record yourself. |
You can then compare the two recordings side by side... |
...and practice and try again and again until you perfect your pronunciation. |
Number five: Get feedback from our Premium PLUS teacher |
...If you're learning by yourself and don't have access to real teachers... |
Then, you can always get feedback from our Premium PLUS teachers. |
With the My Teacher tool, you can record yourself speaking... |
...and send the audio file to the teacher. |
They will review it and tell you what to improve and how. That's it. |
Number six: Level up your speaking with Premium PLUS Assignments |
With Premium PLUS... |
You can also get assignments that cover reading, writing, listening, and even speaking from your teacher. |
These assignments can be tailored to your goals and needs. |
You get a new one every week... Or anytime you are ready for a new one. |
