English Fluency And How To Get There With Speaking Practice

Hi there. In today’s English speaking practice podcast, I’m going to look at two different parts of English fluency. Did you know that there are two types of fluency? Mental and physical. We are going to explain both types of fluency, and share with you some easy to do exercises that will help you improve both mental and physical fluency.

I’m often asked, what is being fluent in spoken English? What does it look like? I’d say that it looks like someone who can join in on an everyday English conversation with native English speakers. Where you can keep up with the comprehension speed necessary to stay in the conversation. And you can join in at any time to add your views. It’s getting your spoken English fluency to a level where your speaking is on autopilot.

To me, that’s what spoken English fluency looks like. A level of spoken English where you are not consciously thinking about translation and how to form words. Once you reach this level of proficiency with your English language, you can really focus on expressing your ideas and the content of what you want to say rather than the technical details of how to say it.

So working on your English fluency, until your ability to speak or write without hesitation or repetition, has to be a big part of your English learning. And working on both types of fluency is part of that. Mental fluency is the ability to think quickly and clearly and recall vocabulary and phrases as you need them. While physical fluency is the ability to move your mouth to achieve the correct sounds in a natural and effortless way. You need to work on both to achieve fluency.

No Clear Evidence Low Serotonin Levels Cause Depression Ep 560

Today our English listening practice topic is about depression, anti-depressants and serotonin. A recent research paper says serotonin has little or nothing to do with depression! So wait a minute, the primary treatment we have to help people with depression targets serotonin, and serotonin has little or nothing to do with depression. How could we possibly take so long to discover something this fundamental? With so many people taking these pills, there is a lot to talk about.

English Listening Practice: Serotonin Imbalance Does Not Cause Depression

Anti-depression medication affects the people who take it. Otherwise, why prescribe the drugs to so many people and for such long periods of time? People will tell you that anti-depressant pills have helped them, but whatever is going on medically is now being questioned by some heavyweight medical research from University College London. Of course, this ignores the elephant in the room, and that is the side effects of taking this type of mind-altering drug over long periods of time.

When I say a lot of people take these pills, I mean millions of people in Britain alone! The Lancet published data from NHS Digital showing that 70.9 million prescriptions for antidepressants were given out in England in 2018, compared with 36 million in 2008. No wonder the anti-depression pill market is booming. The global antidepressant drugs market in 2020 had a value of 15.6 Billion USD and they project it will reach 21 Billion USD by 2030. It’s a substantial business if you are one of the 5 major players that dominates this market.

Since I was 16, I've felt a black cloud hangs over me. Since then, I have taken pills for depression.
