5 ENGLISH FLUENCY TIPS THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE

Today, I am going to reveal five secrets that will transform your English.

Five secrets that native English speakers have known for a long time.

And now you, my friend will know them as well.

Are you ready?

Well, then I'm teacher Tiffany.

Let's jump right in to secret number one.

Secret number one is use transition signals.

Effectively use transition signals.

Effectively transition signals are like bridges that connect

your ideas when you speak English.

Instead of only using simple words like, and, or, but it's time for you

to start using more advanced phrases.

Let me break this down for you.

Here are some examples to add information, say.

Furthermore, in addition, or moreover, again, if you're trying to add

information, you're explaining something, you're telling someone something, and you

want to tell them more, here are three transition phrases or signals furthermore.

In addition, and more over here's example, number two, in

order to show contrast, right?

Contrasting thoughts, ideas, or things you can say on the other hand, or however,

Or nevertheless, I am giving you the transition signals that we as native

English speakers use on a regular basis to sound more confident to speak English

fluently again, if you want to show contrast, you can say, on the other hand.

You can say, however, and you can say, nevertheless, here's

another set of examples.

If you want to show results, you can say consequently or as a result or therefore,

again, if you're showing results, you can say consequently as a result or therefore.

So why is it so important for you?

To understand secret number one, using transition signals effectively.

Here's the first reason why this is so important.

It makes your speech flow more naturally, just like a flowing river.

Your words will connect smoothly from one idea to the next.

Remember, this is a secret that will transform your English.

My friend, you're intelligent, you are smart, and you have a lot to say.

Now I'm giving you the tools you need to make sure your thoughts

and ideas come out smoothly.

Reason number two, it helps you organize your thoughts logically, like

organizing items in different boxes.

Transition signals, like however, therefore these signals help

you sort and connect your ideas.

Clearly listen to me, this is just secret number one, but if you master

this secret, you will sound so much more confident when you speak English.

Reason number three, it helps listeners.

Follow your ideas more easily, clear transitions, act like road signs,

guiding your audience, the individuals listening to you through your message.

When you're driving on the road, you see a stop sign.

You see the lights.

These are all signals to let you know what you can do as you're on your journey.

And you need these signals.

The same is true for English.

As I'm listening to you, as someone listens to you, they need to know the

journey you're taking them on using transition signals will help you take

them on the smoothest journey ever.

Secret.

Number one, use transition signals effectively.

Now it's time to go to secret.

Number two, secret.

Number two is employ.

The rule of three, again, employ the rule of three.

I say this all the time to my students in the speak English with Tiffany Academy.

Employ the rule of three.

What does this mean?

The rule of three is a powerful speaking technique.

Where you group things in sets of three, you've probably noticed that in

most of my lessons, I group things in threes, three examples, three sentences.

It's something that great speakers.

I would love to be a great speaker.

Great speakers have used throughout history.

There's something about the number three, when you speak in threes, when

you follow this rule of three, the person listening to you will become more engaged.

So let me explain this even more.

Let's check out some examples.

Here's the first one.

The restaurant was cozy, affordable, and delicious.

Again, there's a rhythm to it.

The restaurant was cozy, affordable, and delicious.

I could just say the restaurant was cozy.

Grammar's good sentence is correct, but something happens

when I add two other details.

It was cozy.

It was comfortable, affordable, and delicious.

And I said four, but I meant to say affordable.

So again, the restaurant was cozy, affordable, and delicious.

The rule of threes, check out the second example.

I love summer because it's warm, bright, and energizing.

I love summer because it's warm, bright, and energizing the rule of three.

My friend, this is secret number two.

I'm giving you these secrets to help you on your English journey.

Example number three, to improve your English, you need to practice.

Persist and stay patient.

That felt good.

Didn't it?

That sounded good to your ear.

There's something about the rule of three when it comes to the way our

brains operate, when it comes to the way we hear things, the rule of three.

It's like music to our ears again, to improve your English, you need to

practice, persist, and stay patient.

So what are the exact reasons you're probably saying, Tiffany, why is this?

Reason number one, when you employ the rule of three, it will create

memorable patterns in your speech.

Our brains naturally remember things better in groups.

Of three, remember these secrets are going to transform your English reason.

Number two, it adds a natural rhythm to your communication.

Like a good song groups of three create a pleasing pattern.

There's something about the rule of three.

And reason number three, again, you notice I always use three, it helps

emphasize key points effectively.

Three related ideas, support each other and make your message stronger.

It's like having a sandwich, the bread on top, the meat in the

middle and the bread on the bottom.

It helps make your message stronger when you have three points, as

opposed to just one, if one, two, three, Oh, you've thought about this.

Okay.

What you're saying, I can probably agree with because you've taken

the time to organize your thoughts and present enough information.

Number two, secret number two is employ the rule of three.

Now we go to secret number three.

Use purposeful repetition.

Again, use purposeful repetition.

Notice that I repeat myself when I want to emphasize something.

Here's the explanation.

Purposeful repetition means repeating important words or ideas

in different ways to make them stick in people's minds, rephrasing things.

Emphasizing them by using different words.

Why?

When you do this, the information will stick in the mind of

the person listening to you.

They'll become more engaged.

They'll want to listen to you more.

This is going to help you as an English learner because

you'll feel more confident.

Wow.

Sally actually, she wants to listen to me.

Mike is actually really engaged when I speak.

Secret number three, use purposeful repetition.

Let me give you some examples.

Here's example.

Number one, learning English takes time, time to practice.

Listen closely, learning English takes time.

Time to make mistakes, learning English takes time, time to improve.

Something happened in your brain.

As I repeated it each time, learning English takes time, time to practice

learning English takes time, time to make mistakes, learning English

takes time, time to improve.

Your brain finds this pattern and it feels good.

Here are three reasons why you must follow this secret reason.

Number one, it reinforces important points like hammering a nail.

Each repetition drives your message deeper.

Reason number two, it creates memorable speech patterns.

When people hear something multiple times in different ways, they remember it.

Better secret number three, use purposeful repetition and reason.

Number three, it builds emphasis.

Naturally repetition helps highlight what's most important in your message.

What you're saying is important and you need the person listening

to you to realize that what you're saying is important.

Use repetition secret number three.

Now we have secret number four, start with what is known.

Start with what is known.

I actually love this one.

Let me explain.

Start with what is known.

This technique means starting with familiar information

before introducing new ideas.

Think of it like climbing stairs.

You start on familiar ground before stepping up to something new.

This is the same thing you want to do when you're speaking English.

Start with something familiar.

I like when I'm teaching a class to start with something my students already know.

How was your day?

Tell me what happened.

Give me something that you're already familiar with.

It provides confidence, right?

For example, check out this one again, understanding that the important

thing is to start with what is known.

Example.

I love coffee.

This is not about me.

I don't drink coffee.

Actually, I love coffee.

This delicious drink helps me start my day.

The caffeine in coffee also improves my focus.

Notice how we kind of built upon the previous statement.

I love coffee.

Many people can relate to loving coffee.

Then the next sentence, the delicious drink helps me start my day.

People, ah, okay.

I like coffee.

Oh, it helps you start your day.

And then what happens?

The caffeine and coffee, you're getting more detailed.

Check out this example.

I enjoy watching movies.

Many people can relate to that statement.

These entertaining stories transport us to different worlds.

We're going deeper.

We start with familiarity.

We start with something that everyone can understand and

follow, and then we go deeper.

Example number three, I started learning to cook.

This creative activity helps me relax after work.

Anyone else like to cook something familiar?

Then I go deeper.

It helps me relax after work.

Now, why is this secret so important?

Starting with what is known reason number one, it makes complex ideas.

Easier to follow like building blocks.

Each new idea builds on what listeners already know.

Oh, I like coffee.

You like coffee.

Ah, it helps you start your day.

Ah, the caffeine is what helps building blocks.

Reason number two.

It creates logical progression.

I love logic.

It pre it creates logical progression.

It helps listeners move smoothly from familiar concepts to new information.

Maybe you didn't know that there was a lot of caffeine and coffee.

I started off with, I like coffee.

I drink it in the morning again, helping them with this logical progression.

Think about the way you're speaking.

These secrets are going to change your fluency.

And reason number three, it helps listeners stay engaged when people

understand the foundation, they're more interested in learning new details.

I'm following you.

I understand you started off with something I was familiar

with so I can follow along.

Secret number four, start with what is known secret.

Number five, end with impact.

You got to end with some impact and with some power.

Listen very closely.

Secret number five, you cannot miss this.

This principle suggests putting your most important information at the

end of your sentences or statements.

It's like saving the best for last.

This is what you're doing as you're speaking English.

Let me explain by giving examples.

Here's the first example.

The exciting news is that I got promoted today.

You see what happened?

I said, the exciting news is, and you're waiting like, yeah, yeah.

What is it?

It keeps you engaged until the very end.

I didn't say I got promoted today.

That was exciting.

Uh, uh, reverse it.

The exciting news is, oh my goodness.

I got promoted today end with impact example, number two, again, instead

of saying the exciting news is that I got promoted today, you can also

say today at work, I got some news.

I received a promotion.

Now the first one I ended with impact, but then now I'm expanding

it even more today at work.

Now I've pulled you in.

Now you're with me at work.

I got some news, I received a promotion, so I built up even more.

Now the first one is still good.

The exciting news is that I got promoted today.

I still had you.

I ended with impact, but the second one is even more powerful today at work.

I got some news already.

Okay.

What happened?

I received a promotion.

So again, with both examples, I've pulled you in and ended with impact,

but the second one is more impactful because I built it up even more.

Why is this so powerful?

Reason number one, it makes key points memorable.

People often remember the last thing they hear most clearly.

Reason number two, it creates this natural emphasis ending

with important information, gives it more power and more impact.

And finally, reason number three, it helps structure your thoughts effectively

knowing where to place information, specifically important information

makes your speech more organized.

Think about what's happening in your mind right now.

Ah, when I speak, I want to end with impact.

I do want to make sure I use a repetition.

I want to make sure dot, dot, dot.

This is why the secrets are so powerful.

Secret number five, end with impact.

I hope this lesson helped you and I'll talk to you next time.

You still there?

You know what time it is.

It's story time.

Hey, I said it's story time.

All right.

So my story is about food.

Today I was talking about my favorite pizza and I want to

tell you about something else I ate when I was in South Korea.

So one of my closest friends, we decided to go out one Saturday night.

We were kind of bored.

So we said, Hey, let's go downtown.

They were having this big food festival downtown in South Korea.

And so we decided to go downtown and we were just kind of walking around,

looking at the different food trucks.

And all of a sudden we saw this long line and she and I, we both looked at

each other and said, wait a minute.

It's a long line at that food truck.

We're not in a rush.

Let's wait in the line and see what they're selling.

Now, let me tell you something about Korea and Koreans, Koreans, no good food.

So when I lived in Korea, whenever I saw a long line, it was nine times

out of 10, a very good indication that the restaurant sold amazing food.

So when we were at this outdoor food market, food festival,

We thought the same thing.

So we waited in line for about 30 to 40 minutes.

It was a long line.

And when we got to the front, we realized it was for Italian food.

I like Italian food and she also likes Italian food.

So at that time we decided to, Hey, let's just get it.

So they had a special, uh, spaghetti.

I think it was all the only pasta.

I can't remember the exact name of the pasta, but we said, okay, we'll get that.

So she got her bowl and I got my bowl and we stepped out of the line after

paying our money and we were walking and we found a spot to sit down and

we both sat down, you know, said prayer and we took our first bite.

So I took a bite.

And I paused, I chewed, I looked at my bowl and then I looked up at her and

she looked at me and she said, Tiff, I think we got to go back to that line.

I said, I 100 percent agree with you.

That was the best spaghetti I had ever had.

We started eating.

It was so delicious.

So we finished our bowls and then we went and got back in line.

Now this time the line was even longer.

It was about an hour long line.

And we stood there happily, just ready to get our spaghetti.

And we got to the front of the line again after an hour and happily paid our

money to get the exact same spaghetti.

We walked back to our seat with our second bowl, took out our fork again,

looked at each other and said, Enjoy.

And we crushed the second bowl.

I will never forget that time because my friend could cook very well.

I like cooking and she likes cooking.

So we know good food.

It was just so shocking how delicious the spaghetti was.

So maybe you've tried something like that spaghetti that literally

caused you to be speechless.

Like it stopped you.

And you really thought to yourself, wait a minute, I need to go back

and get the exact same thing.

It was absolutely delicious.

Now.

I hope you enjoyed this story.

And I hope you also enjoy good food.
