- Hello, listen, do you feel like, you know,  you're not making progress with your spoken  

English like your stuck? Well, today I'm gonna  help you. I'm going to give you five tips,  

right? Five simple things you can do every day  that will help improve your spoken English and  

help you get well unstuck. So you can do really  well on the ESL speaking test. Are you ready? Then  

come with me. Hello again, so my name is Keith and  I run the Keith Speaking Academy here to help you  

speak better English, give better answers and  get a higher score on the IELTS speaking test.  

So maybe right. You've taken the IELTS test  several times, but you're stuck at the same level,  

maybe a Band six or a 6.5. There may be several  reasons for this. And today I'm going to look  

at the most common problem for being stuck,  right? And actually, it's not that you need  

more technique, exam technique or tips. It's  just that your overall level of spoken English  

is too low. So the English in your head might be  great. But when you speak, it's just not the same.  

As a student, one said to me, he said, you know,  when I'm I've got ideas in English, the English in  

my head it's like driving a Ferrari. It's great.  But then when I speak, it's like a car crash.  

Which is a great image, I  think for many, many students.  

So today I'm going to address that  and help you improve your spoken  

English with these five tips. I'm going to  look at the following, how to learn, speaking  

how to automate your vocabulary, how to  increase fluency how to gain confidence  

and how to make sure you're choosing the right  tools to help you, right? Okey-dokey, let's begin.  

So, first of all, how to learn speaking  or how to learn how to speak the most  

important tip here I think is to learn speaking  by listening. Unfortunately, many students  

around the world learn speaking with books, by  looking at words by reading and reading aloud.  

Why? Well, probably because their teachers told  them and the reason their teachers told them is  

because they learned that at school too. And  I think one reason is in the past there was no  

access to the native speaker voice,  right? But the world has changed and  

unfortunately education has not changed  but it needs to. Why is this important?  

Because the speaking and writing are two different  systems, right? A bit of history to explain.  

I like history, we have been speaking right  for over 10,000 years we have only been writing  

for maybe four or 5,000 years, right? We began  writing with the Egyptians and the Sumerians  

with their cuneiforms in about 3000 BC. Speaking  came first. Writing was a way to capture what we  

say. And grammar is a way to capture what  we speak. And it does a pretty good job,  

but it's not perfect. And yet still so many people  choose the books to help them learn to speak.  

It's the other way round, right? We should start  with the speaking and the listening and the books  

come later. It's a bit like, right? Imagine like  Messi, the football player comes knocking on your  

door with his football. And he says, "Hey, Keith  would you like to come and play football with me?"  

And you go, "No actually, I'm just going to  stay at home and read this book about football."  

What? Why would you choose to read about it when  you can be doing it? Right, learning really well.  

I mean, the book can be useful maybe later  but start with the doing right start with  

the listening and the speaking. And the writing  comes later learning by listening. If I haven't  

convinced you let me finish with convincing you  learning by listening has the following benefits,  

right? First of all, you learn natural spoken  English. You know that the language is spoken,  

not written. You learn pronunciation, you  get the context. So you know how to learn,  

how to use the language when you're speaking,  it's a no brainer. You must begin by listening,  

right? And I said earlier, right? The world  has changed. We can now. We are surrounded by  

native speaker texts or proficient  speaker audio texts, videos, Netflix,  

YouTube. You can get it anywhere. Keith Speaking  Academy, if you've heard of that. There are audios  

all over the world at the click of a button. So  start using it. Learn your speaking by listening.  

Okay, number two. How to automate vocabulary.  I love that word automate. Great word, Keith.  

Yes. What does automate mean? It's a good  question. And I'm glad you asked to automate  

something is to make it automatic. Like  without thinking, do you know the phrase  

autopilot to do something on autopilot?  Sometimes I'm driving on autopilot. It just means  

I'm driving without thinking at the same time.  So you may know actually I have a fluency course  

and the strong focus of the fluency course is to  automate grammar. So we look at maybe 16 different  

grammatical items and through practice automate  them. So you're using them without thinking.  

Now you can do the same with vocabulary. Automate  your vocabulary. How'd you do it? Very simple tip,  

tried and tested method, repeat and juggle. Right?  Repeat and juggle. What do I mean by that? Well,  

first of all, you find something to listen to,  right? Remember what I said in tip number one,  

learn, speaking through listening. You listen  to something and you repeat a word or a phrase,  

maybe a collocation, right? So you're listening  to something, for example an audio tape.  

And it says, I love Paris and you go  stop. I love Paris and you repeat,  

right? That's the repeat easy peasy. The juggle  is that you then change a word. What is juggle?  

Good question. Let me show you juggle, right?  Oranges, like the magician. This is juggling.  

Now why do I call it juggling? I  don't. Why do I call it juggling?  

Because you take a word and you change  it. Right, so in our example, I love  

Paris. I changed the word Paris. I love  Hanoi. I love New Delhi. I love Manchester,  

right? Easy, now you can juggle by changing  the word or you can change the tense.  

I love Paris. I loved Paris. I will love Paris.  I used to love Paris. I'm sure I would love Paris  

if I could go there, right? So you're juggling  the tense. Very, very simple, listen, repeat  

and juggle. And that formula starts to get  you automatically using and hd wiring, the  

vocabulary making it active and more automated.  Now actually, as I said, education has changed,  

right? We are now surrounded by audio and video.  There's lots of it. And there's lots of really  

good tools you can use. I came across one the  other day that I thought was really really good.  

And I'm going to show you very briefly, how it  works gives you access to lots of audio and video  

and helps you do this repeating and juggling.  Let me show you. So let me show you this app,  

right? I've downloaded it off the Apple store.  I'm on my tablet over here. This is it. Over here,  

Woodpecker. And once you go in there, let me  go inside the screen and show you how it works.  

So we've got the whole bunch of YouTube videos. If  you've got Netflix, you can go in and sign in and  

access your Netflix videos. You can go on the  web browser and also get some websites here.  

And there is a built-in dictionary. I think  now let's imagine in YouTube if you want to  

select by topic, you can. So if you're interested  in, I don't know, in books you can find all the  

videos which are related to books. You can  also choose by the channel if you prefer  

or choose by the teacher. So all of your famous  English teachers are on here. So let's go into,  

let's see how we can actually use the  repeat and juggling technique in a video.  

If we go into this video here, right? You  can see, you can watch the video. Great.

- [Narrator] When people ask me what I do

- The tape scripts all the way through  

the video is here with timestamps.  So I can click on any timestamp

- [Man] He was very popular in its time and.

- Pause and I can repeat that, right?  He was very popular in his time.  

I can check the meaning of a word by pressing on  it. It tells me the meaning of popular well liked.

- Dictionary voice. But if I press  the timestamp, it'll just repeat.

- He was very popular. He was  very popular. Press the timestamp.

- [Man] He was very popular in  his time. He was very popular.  

Great and now I can juggle. I can change  the end. He was very popular 10 years ago,  

he was very popular two years ago, he  was very popular a year ago. And so on.

- Total flexibility to be, to move around  and be repeating and juggling. Absolutely  

brilliant. Great, so that's it. Tip number  two. Listen, repeat and juggle. Let's move on.  

Right, number three. How to increase your fluency  when speaking? So the tip here is focus on chunks.
