Just
think! Suppose that a few people who are not fluent in
English get together and start doing some kind of speech
practice — in order to achieve fluency in English...
What kind of English will they be able to do the speech
practice in? Only in broken English. Right? (Because they
can’t speak fluent English!). And suppose they carry on
with this kind of speech practice thro’ broken English
for 3 months or more... Won’t broken English become their
habit? Rather than fluent English?
The real clue to your fluency problem:
Inner = Outer
Now, are you under the impression
that a teacher’s presence can improve the situation? Mind
you, it can’t. Why?
Remember this: Mistakes of grammar, usage, vocabulary,
etc. are all ‘externally noticeable mistakes’ — mistakes
that a teacher will be able to notice and correct. But
you know, ‘externally noticeable mistakes’ like these
are not the real reason why you are not fluent. No. The
real reason is this: Internal speech processing difficulties
and internal speech composition problems. Mistakes, difficulties
and problems that happen when your mind tries to compose
speech before its delivery.
Mind you, a teacher or anyone else will not be able to
notice these internal mistakes and problems... or the
pre-delivery process. No, they can’t — because these things
happen inside your mind.
And why do these internal mistakes and problems happen?
Why? Because people who are not fluent do not really know
how to process information in their mind. And how to formulate
speech out of that information. And how to bring it up
for delivery. That’s why.
Inexhaustible fluency source
Mind you, true fluency is not the
speed of delivery of speech. No, it isn’t. It’s really
the flow with which the things you want to deliver come
out of your mind — in ‘readily deliverable’ speech units.
And true fluent English is not a terrible struggle: A
sentence-based speech-production struggle. No, it isn’t.
It’s something wholly different. Something whose mark
is actually effortlessness. Fluent English is the ready
flow of speech units: A steady stream of word clusters
flowing out easily... From something called the fluency
nucleus.
And what the self-study books in the Fluentzy series do is this: To help you do things,
so the fluency nucleus starts growing inside you.
Once that happens, you’re on your way to achieving higher
and higher levels of fluency. And from then on, even group
speech practice and audio-video sessions can prove useful.
But mind you, only from then on — and not till then.
Total wisdom of spoken English fluency
Prof. Kev Nair's fluent-English self-study books plant the fluency nucleus in you and help you achieve great spoken English fluency by doing two things:
1). Fluency-building wisdom. Prof. Nair's fluency-building books teach you the unique fluency-building knowledge on which true spoken English fluency is based.
2). English fluency techniques. They help you master the specialised techniques that will help you put the unique fluency knowledge into practice -- by speaking English only according to this knowledge in real-life situations.
