SPEAK ENGLISH FLUENTLY | How To Express Your Ideas Clearly In 5 Parts

Hey, I want to ask you a question, read this with me.

And I want you to tell me if this is a fluent English response, the topic.

Tell me about studying English.

Here's what the student said.

There are many languages spoken around the world.

Some people learn English and some people learn Spanish.

I study English, but it's a bit hard.

Sometimes I still like it.

My classmates also study English.

We use books in class and then the internet at home.

Now, is this a fluent English response?

Is this something a native English speaker would say the answer is no.

And today I want to explain to you why this is not a good response and

how to finally give a fluent English response, like a native English speaker.

Are you ready?

I'm teacher Tiffani.

Let's jump right in.

English with Tiffani app.

Now we looked at an example response and I told you that it

was not a fluent English response.

Let me show you a great response.

So we have this individual speaking with her friend.

She starts off English is a language that is studied by

millions of people around the world.

She continues.

Some people say that it is the number one language and other people

say that it is not that important.

Uh, but in my opinion, it is important for everyone to learn English.

I think that speaking English can help you get a better job.

Travel around the world or travel more around the world and

also experience other cultures.

So I think everyone should learn to speak English.

Now this, my friend is an amazing response, a fluent English response.

So let me explain to you, let me break down what she said and

help you do the exact same thing.

So the first part of what she said was right.

Number one, you see it right here.

English is a language that is studied by millions of people around the world.

You see the first thing she did was state the topic or the question she stated

what she was going to be talking about.

You see, the first step is to state the topic that is being discussed.

This will set the foundation and help your listener, focus

on what you are going to say.

This is something that I've tried to teach.

All of my students, I've been a teacher for a long time and

I've had thousands of students.

And sometimes you think that fluency is just about speaking

for a long period of time.

Well, actually, fluency is all about you connecting with your listener.

So you must first start by stating the topic or the question now, after you've

done this and the listener understands, you're going to move on to part number

two, which is exactly what she did.

Remember.

She said, some people say.

That it's the number one language and other people say

that it is not that important.

What she did was she stated other basic views very quickly.

You see, step two, the second step is to state various views on the topic.

This will show that you are aware of other viewpoints and that you have chosen

your viewpoint after a lot of careful thought you see that fluency is so

much more than just the words you use.

It's about the way you think and helping the listener realize, oh

my goodness, this individual has really thought about his or her.

This individual is really able to organize his or her thoughts in English.

So when you let the other individual know the person listening that,

Hey, I am aware that there are other viewpoints on this topic on this subject.

Again, you're letting them know that what you're about to say

in part three can be trusted.

And that you've thought well, before you gave your answer.

So this is step two.

Now step three is where it gets very interesting.

Step three is where she said right here, in my opinion, it is important

for everyone to learn English.

This is where things start to change.

You state your viewpoint.

Step number one, you've stated the topic or question step number two,

you've given kind of an overall viewpoint of other people, right?

Very important.

And then you come in with your point of view.

So the third step is to state your viewpoint.

Clearly, very clearly she said, right here, it is important.

For everyone to learn English very clear.

We know exactly what her opinion is.

Continuing, this will let the listener know what your idea is, and will make

them curious to know more about your idea.

This is why part three is so important and she did it.

So.

Thank you again, Cambly.

All right, guys.

So again, thank you, Cambly.

And we have the first three parts of any fluent English response.

Now let's look at the fourth part.

You've stated clearly what your opinion is, what she did

next was very interesting.

She said, I think that speaking English can help you get a better

job, travel more around the world and also experience other cultures.

She did step number four, she gave three supporting pieces of

information you see the fourth step is to state your viewpoint.

Clearly this will let the listener know what your idea is, and will make them

curious to know more about your idea.

That's exactly what she did.

So again, once she got to part three, she stated clearly what her idea was, and

then she supported her idea in step 4.

This is exactly what you have to do in order to give a fluent English response.

It's not about the number of words it's about following these parts

and making sure they are a part of every response you give in English.

So again, part four, give three supporting pieces of information.

Now, after she did this in an amazing way, She moved on to part number five

and she said, so I think everyone should learn to speak English part, number five,

restate the topic and your viewpoint.

You see the fifth step is to reset, restate, excuse me,

the topic and your viewpoint.

This will help the listener.

Remember what you said?

I can remember so many times when I was in class teaching my students in South Korea.

And I was trying to help them understand the importance of restating the

topic and their viewpoint at the end.

They would say teacher, why I've already stated my point.

I said, remember, English fluency is all about the listener.

How much information can they remember from what you said?

If they're able to remember the information, then they will feel

like you are fluent in English.

So when you come back at the end and restate, repeat your viewpoint,

it's like a trigger telling their brain, Hey, remember this part.

And again, it makes you seem more like a fluent english speaker.

So once again, if we go back and look at this conversation between these two

individuals, we'll see that she included all five parts in what she said, and

that's why this response was amazing.

And that's exactly why it was a fluent English response.

Now I hope you enjoyed this lesson.

I hope you learned a lot and I hope you remember all five parts

when you go to respond to someone, because that means you are fluent in

English, including all five parts.

Thank you so much for joining and I will see you next time, but as

always remember to speak English.

You know what time it is?

It's story time.

Hey, I said, it's story time.

I've been longing to sing that song.

I couldn't sing it last week because my voice was bothering me

and my throat was bothering me.

But.

Yes.

All right.

So today I actually have a story for you about music.

So this happened when I was in South Korea.

Now in South Korea, they have noreband [노래방], right?

Nore [노래] means song and bang [방] means room in Korean.

So a Noreband was basically just a karaoke room for those that know, Karaoke rooms.

And my fellow teachers actually got me into going to karaoke rooms

or Norebangs bonds with them.

So we would go maybe once, once or twice a month, like on a Saturday night.

And at that time I was studying, um, for my Korean exams.

So I was really busy, but they would pull me out and get me to

go to the Norebangs with them.

So one night it was myself, my roommate, and one of our other close friends.

So it was, there were three of us and we were, you know, in the Norebang, right.

Bong.

And they said, Hey Tiff, two of our other friends are going to come and join us.

I said, okay, great.

Now it was myself, my roommate.

And again, one of our other friends and, you know, I like to

sing, but, and my roommate and my other friend, they like to sing.

But one of the other girls was an amazing singer.

She can blow.

Oh, here's an expression for you.

If someone can blow, it means they can really sing like Aretha

Franklin, Whitney Houston.

They had powerful voices, right.

And the other friend...

So one of them could blow and there was another friend and she was a real

small, her name was April, April.

If you're watching this welcome.

And I hope you enjoyed the story.

April was kind of.

Small frame.

Super sweet.

I mean, everybody loved April super sweet girl.

So I knew that when the other girl, um, oh my goodness, her name is failing me.

Um, okay.

Anyways, the other girl, when we knew, when she arrived, she was going to blow.

So we were looking forward to her songs.

So she came and, of course she sang.

I mean, she could sing.

Um, Aretha Franklin.

She had a very powerful voice.

And then my other friends, my roommate, and my other friend said,

TIFF, you have to hear April sing.

And I was like, oh, okay.

Again, small frame, just real nice, real kind.

Sweet.

Did not expect anything.

But I was like, yes, Hey, this is a time for all of us to have a good time.

So they said, April, please sing.

She was like, no guys.

I'm okay.

Like really sweet.

Literally I'm okay guys, not tonight.

And they were like, please, please.

I saw, by the way, they were begging her that maybe this girl could really sing.

So she said, okay, so she picked, uh, maybe it's you, I think that's BeyonceI

think anyways, she picked that song.

Now I know Beyonce songs or Jennifer Hudson's songs are very difficult

because they have very high, high, high voices, very strong voices.

So I was like, wow, this, this girl is going to sing this song.

I said, We're all here to have a good time.

It's not about who can sing, who can't sing.

We had a ball, I would sing songs that were too high for me.

And I just have a ball and we'd all be singing.

So the song starts and, you know, again she did real like, like, okay guys, like

that was kind of how her voice sounded.

So she started the song and I was like, Oh okay, she has it.

You know, she could sing.

Right.

But real low.

And so it got to the part where you had to kind of add a little bit more.

Now I'll sing a little bit of it again, my voice is kind of.

Still struggling a little bit.

Cause I was sick, but she got to the part, she said, baby, it's your the one I want.

Right.

So she was kinda building up.

I said, okay.

And she got to the part that required a lot of power.

She stood up and said, baby it's you.

You're the one I want.

And she was blowing again.

When she started singing, she sounded exactly like the original.

And I sat there with my mouth open.

This little girl was blowing us all away.

Now, of course we were in there having a ball, dancing around

saying, get it girl, you can do it.

And what it taught me is sometimes the outside package may not look

like what's going on inside.

She was a sweet girl.

You would have never known that, that powerful voice.

Again, like Aretha, like Beyonce, like Jennifer Hudson could

come out of that small frame.

So we had a great time and we always wanted her to join us.

We said, you can sing.

We'll be your background dancers, background singers.

We had a great time.

So, uh, the point of this story honestly, is sometimes you may be underestimated.

Sometimes people may think, ah, you're not that good at speaking English,

or ah, you can achieve your goal.

Never forget that you can do whatever you put your mind to.

And just like she shocked me.

I want you to go out there and shock somebody with your

English speaking abilities.

Follow the lesson from today, five parts and you'll speak English, just like me.

All right.

I love you.

And I will see you next week.
