Speaking quickly vs Speaking correctly?
06/18/24 • 14 min
Struggling to speak English smoothly and accurately? Let's learn how to balance fluency and accuracy in your language skills!
In this episode, I discussed the challenge of speaking English well. Fluency means speaking easily and naturally, while accuracy means using correct grammar, pronunciation, and verb tenses. The problem? People often focus too much on one and forget the other. For example, you might be so worried about being perfect that you speak slowly and hesitate. Or you might talk really fast but make a lot of mistakes. Neither is ideal.
We discussed the importance of considering both fluency and accuracy, explored common challenges learners face, cleared up misconceptions about developing these skills, and offered strategies to improve your English.
Key Takeaways:
- Balancing fluency and accuracy is key to being an effective and professional communicator.
- Both skills should be developed together.
- Dive into grammar studies and get feedback to improve your accuracy.
- Online tools can be a big help, and setting realistic goals while finding a supportive environment can make a huge difference.

Phrasal Verbs Related to Travel
Tired of struggling with travel-related English conversations? Stay tuned for practical tips on mastering travel phrasal verbs.
In this episode, we're focusing on travel phrasal verbs, crucial for travelers and business professionals. David explains how learning these verbs in real-life situations, like booking trips or navigating airports, improves English skills.
You need to know how to use these verbs in everyday situations. For example, when planning a trip, you'll need to save money (that's "sock away") and be cautious of prices increasing ("hiking up"). You might also encounter delays ("held up") in traffic or need to leave someone at the airport ("drop off"). And once you're at the hotel or airport, you'll have to register ("check in") and depart ("take off"). These are all common phrases used in travel situations. David has your back and will explain to you in which moments you can use each of these phrasal verbs.
Key Takeaways:
- Learning vocabulary in context, like travel situations, makes it easier to understand and remember.
- Keep exploring new vocabulary and practicing to continue improving your English skills.
- Participate in English conversations, whether in person or online, to practice using travel vocabulary in a natural setting.
