THE LISTENING TO SPEAKING CHALLENGE
Click the video and follow the instructions. You will be doing 3 steps:
1. Listen to the audio with no subtitles
2. Listening again
3. Trying to speak about the topic
4. I’ll explain the missing step to help you USE words you heard from the audio.
Expected Outcome:
After completing this activity (following the instructions), you should understand that only listening to audio or watching videos will not help you to improve your speaking.
This lesson is just one of the many fluency strategies and learning strategies that we use to help our students to get ‘unstuck’ and to start seeing rapid progress with their learning again.

For years, I was terrified to speak English. After only a few lessons, I started to feel more confident and felt free to speak my thoughts. Now, I can finally speak without fear and I feel like myself in English!
