Overview (Part 1)

In the last lesson we talked about the future how to talk about things we would like to do things that will happen different levels of certainty and in this course we’ve been really focused on different situations and different topics different specific skills.

But I want to in this lesson and the next lesson focus on some things you can do on a daily basis to practice so that your mind can develop the habits that it needs to develop so that you can build the right habits to become a good English speaker.

I think this course wouldn’t be complete unless you had the correct habits not only the knowledge that you need but the correct habits to be able to speak clearly.

So we’re going to go over some exercises some things that you can do on a regular basis on a daily basis to practice all of the things that we’re learning in this course.

Some things you can do to build the correct habits.

Habits are so important when it comes to speaking a language.

If you know everything but you don’t have the right habits then the things that you know won’t help you a lot when it comes to speaking saying what you want to say.

So I want to make it very clear that you need to learn all that stuff.

You need to know all that stuff but then you’ve got to have the right way of thinking and you’ve got to have the right habits and the right way of thinking is the first step toward becoming a better speaker and having those good speaking habits.

OK so doing a little bit of practice every day little exercises can help develop your your mind so that you feel comfortable when you want to say something when you want to use the things that we’re learning in this course.

So we’re going to go over for some basic words a few things you need to know then we’ll get into some specific exercises that we can do.

We’re going to talk about one called that I call stitching and I’ll show you what that means in a second but basically stitching is linking things together creatively and then we’re gonna go into something called simplification.

So we need to understand what we’ve seen what we’ve read so that we can simplify it in a way which is really natural and find out where the things that are unnatural or maybe redundant are.

We’ll go into that when we get into each exercise.

So let’s get started.
