\"how<\/p>\n

Do you want to be more spontaneous when you speak English?<\/p>\n

Do you feel that your English is mechanical and rehearsed?<\/p>\n

Do you freeze when you have to participate in an unexpected conversation in English?<\/p>\n

Today we have a way to solve this problem by using our 50\/50 method for spontaneous English speaking.<\/p>\n

How are you spending your study time?<\/p>\n

You probably are not spending enough time “producing” the language.<\/p>\n

That means that you are not speaking enough.<\/p>\n

You can’t reach fluency by only listening.<\/p>\n

Listening is important but it’s only part of it.<\/p>\n

Here is a question from our listener:<\/p>\n

“I love to speak English fluently but due to not communicating with people properly I miss opportunities building my career. I am having difficult framing sentences spontaneously while speaking to others. It causes me to stop conversations. I love to read books and listen to audios, but it’s not helping me overcome my difficulty in speaking with people. Please help me overcome my fears.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Many students struggle with this problem.<\/p>\n

You are not going to overcome the fear of speaking<\/a> unless you start speaking more.<\/p>\n

If don’t face that fear straight in the face, you won’t overcome it.<\/p>\n

You might be actively procrastinating<\/a> if you are not speaking.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What should you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We recommend a 50\/50 model.<\/p>\n

If you have one hour then 30 minutes of your time should be receptive which means listening.<\/p>\n

The other 30 minutes must be speaking or “productive.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How can you speak more often?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Practice by talking to yourself or grab a tutor on italki. Get our special deal here for new users.<\/a> You get $10 after you buy one lesson.<\/p>\n

There is no reason to say that you don’t have an opportunity to practice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What should you do next?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make an agreement with yourself that you are going to tackle these harder tasks like speaking 50% of the time.<\/p>\n

These are the things that will push your level forward.<\/p>\n

Tie the practices together.<\/p>\n

For the first 30 minutes you can listen to a podcast then in the next 30 minutes you can talk about what you listened to.<\/p>\n
