Do you think English should be spoken fast?
I frequently hear people say that it’s so hard to understand native speakers, especially on TV, because they speak so freaking fast.
Raise your hand if you feel the same way ?♂️
At the same time, people feel that when THEY speak, in comparison to native speakers, they sound awfully slow and that it affects how people perceive their English.
(“If I speak slowly they’d think my English is not that good”).
However, speeding up, with no real system behind it is not a solution.
Then you are simply butchering your English and becoming unclear.
So, what should you do to avoid the BAD fast and start getting you a bit more of that GOOD fast?
Watch today’s lesson to learn all about it: How to speak English faster WITHOUT sounding unclear:

Right, I loved this video, cuz this happens frequently to me. Sometimes I risk to watching some news or until even to watch on the Netflix and I come across myself with this situation, however, I believe that anyone is capable to know their limits mainly that you are learning a foreign language and so you must go to according to your skills increase too.
At the beginning of this year, I got to understand about 60%, right now almost five years later, I get to understand about 90%. I know, I have a long way to run, but the most important it’s not giving up.
