I. Listen to the voice recordings When you finish all of the lessons in the Spoken English Student Workbook, you will have learned much about spoken English and you will have a large vocabulary. But you will not be a fluent English speaker. Fluent speech is more than knowing vocabulary and using correct sentences. Before you will be able to speak fluently—and be understood well by English listeners—you must be able to speak with the same rhythm and pronunciation as an English speaker. For most students, learning the rhythm and pronunciation of a new language will take more effort and time than learning vocabulary and grammar. The best way to learn the correct rhythm and pronunciation of English is to use the S POKEN E NGLISH L EARNED Q UICKLY CDs. For at least one year after you have finished the Spoken English Student Workbook lessons, you should use the voice recordings for at least one hour each day. Listen and repeat each exercise (without looking at the book) just as you did when you were studying the lessons. Continue using the voice recordings until you can respond with exactly the same rhythm and pronunciation as the voice on the CD. It will take more effort to work each day on your English rhythm and pronunciation than it did to do the lessons. However, if you want to learn to speak English well, practicing speaking using an English accent is the only way you can succeed. (A language's accent is its rhythm and pronunciation.) II. Read a newspaper Reading a newspaper is another excellent way to practice spoken English. Most newspapers use important English vocabulary words. A newspaper will give you many common political, scientific, economic, and technical words. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exams often use words that are frequently found in English newspapers. . wrings wrung wrung write (2.8d) writes wrote written Spoken English Learned Quickly www.FreeEnglishNow.com J.1 MORE SPOKEN ENGLISH STUDY After you finish the S POKEN E NGLISH L EARNED. speak fluent English.
