I'm Gabby Wallace, your American English teacher and today I'm not in a recording studio.

Today I'm coming to you from the shore of the Bosphorus River.

You can see behind me. I hope it's not too distracting but this is

the best place -- kind of quiet -- where I could make a quick English tip and update

for you today. So, in this quick tip, I want to talk about

why it's difficult to become fluent in English and what the answer is.

How to become fluent in English. I get this question so much.

How can I become fluent in English? What should I do?

Well, I think the biggest problem is that in most English classes we don't start with

steps or formula, or instructions. You know how when you get a new -- it could

be a new toy, it could be a new piece of furniture, it could be a new game -- you usually read

the instructions or maybe a friend tells you how to play the game.

But you need to know the rules in order to play the game, and for me, that's a lot like

learning English. I mean, in my mind it really helps me to know

the rules before I play a game, and learning a language to me is a lot like playing a game.

So, what I'd like to do with you over the next seven quick English tips, back-to-back,

I'm going to share my seven steps for English fluency.

These are steps that I made for the Go Natural English community, for you, to show you exactly

the rules of the game -- How to become fluent in English.

So, it's kind of detailed, so, I want to take it one step at a time.

Now, if you would like the video, audio, and the text -- all of the subtitles for all seven

steps, come to gonaturalenglish.com/7steps. That's the number 7 s-t-e-p-s, and you can

download all of that with one click. I want you to come visit so, I would love

to share that valuable resource with you to help you improve your fluency.

I'm going to keep this really quick but for today what I want you to remember is that

it's really important to understand the rules of the game if you want to win it.

Okay, so that's what we're going to do with English -- with our seven steps to fluency

over the next few days. This is a really valuable series that I'm

sharing with you that could be its own course but I want to offer it free for you to help

you as much as I can. So, come on over and grab the video, audio,

and text for all seven or you can wait over the next week or two weeks, I believe, it'll

take some time since we're on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday release for quick tips.

You can wait and you can watch the videos separately, the audio separately, and read

the subtitles as you watch the videos on YouTube, or you can come over to gonaturalenglish.com/7steps.
