This is without a doubt the best place to learn how to become fluent in English and what not to do, things to avoid on your journey to fluency. I have an extensive, exhaustive list of what to do and what not to do to become fluent in English that I have to look down at my laptop to remember everything. So, let’s get started with the first and possibly most important tip right away. You need to become an independent and motivated English learner. Without proactive action on your part, you cannot become fluent. You cannot rely on other people to tell you what to do. You have to be motivated on your own as an independent learner to become fluent in English. So, this is about your mind set. Before you even touch a textbook or watch a lesson, you need to be motivated and independent to become fluent in English. Next, know your goals. What do you want

In this episode of Go Natural English, I’m going to share a number one thing that you need for English fluency. The first thing that you need first and foremost is not a textbook. It’s not even a lesson. What you need to know is why you are learning English.

The seventh step to fluency with the Go Natural English method is to repeat, review, and grow. What does this mean? Well, as you learn you should be repeating what you have learned to reinforce it in your mind. Throughout your English learning experience you should also continue to review the materials. As you blend the new materials with the information that you already know, you will see that your path to fluency becomes quicker and easier. As you review and repeat the material, you will be surprised at your growth in English.   At Go Natural English, Gabby wants you to have all the materials, support, and practice that you need to become a successful American English speaker.  Try to watch and listen to as many English videos and podcasts as you can. In addition to that, push yourself to read more and try writing simple sentences at first, and then gradually create larger sentences and turn them into paragraphs.   Languages are living, changing entities and learning a language should be an adventure. Seek

One of the most important things to do with any new skill that you have learned is to use it immediately, and often. This goes for learning a new language as well. As soon as you learn new words or phrases, be sure to work them into conversations as soon as you can after learning them. This will reinforce what you have learned, and it will help you become fluent faster.   I cannot stress enough how important this step is. Once you begin to expand your vocabulary and your knowledge of idioms, you will be able to understand more of the conversations you hear, and you will be able to contribute more of your own thoughts and ideas.   Visit gonaturalenglish.com and learn about all of the materials and support you can get from Go Natural English. Gabby, your American English teacher, is excited to meet new learners and to be able to help them on the way to English fluency.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKXGGpiTv2I   Episode transcript below: Step 6 of the 7 steps to fluency at Go Natural English is to actually

Have you ever been affected by a smell or scent that took you back to a place from your past? This often happens because in our minds we have associated that particular aroma with an event. This is a similar process that we can use to associate words with other words or ideas.   In this fifth step for English fluency Gabby talks about connecting words in your mind as an aid to remembering new vocabulary. Anything you can do to make it easier to learn a new language is a good thing. Never give up. Just try to find ways past any obstacles that you encounter on your English-language learning journey.   For more tips and resources to help you become more fluent in American English, be sure to visit gonaturalenglish.com and introduce yourself to the Go Natural English community. You will find useful resources there as well as many other learners who want to improve their English language skills.

Practice! Practice! Practice! I am sure that you have heard this said many times for, a variety of scenarios from sports, to music, to academic studies. You not only have to practice your English but you must practice pronouncing the words correctly. It does you no good if you continually mispronounce the words you hear.   Your Go Natural English teacher, Gabby, stresses the point in this fourth step to American English fluency. Language fluency comes faster when you constantly use the new words and phrases that you have learned. By imitating the pronunciations you hear from native American English speakers, you will be reinforcing correct pronunciation while strengthening your overall English language skills.   If you listen to English every day, and read, and write what you have heard, you will be surprised at how quickly your language skills improve. Also, make sure you visit gonaturalenglish.com and connect with the Go Natural English community so you can practice, practice, and practice some more.   http

In this third step toward American English fluency, Gabby talks about how you should try to push yourself to listen to materials that might seem a bit more difficult for you. If you’re always listening to materials that you completely understand, you won’t learn new words and phrases.   As your listening and conversational skills improve, you need to find more difficult materials to use. If you read books, you should continually raise the level of difficulty so that you are constantly learning and improving. As you read, or listen to audio books or music, write down the words or phrases that you don’t understand so that you can look up the definitions later.   One way to stay engaged in your American English journey is to vary the types of materials you use. In any given day you can listen to lots of music, you can read a variety of books, newspapers, and magazines, and you can watch different types of TV shows or videos. The key is to keep it interesting and not to let yourself get bored or tired of the mate

This Go Natural American English tip from Gabby is, in my mind, one of the most important. It has been said that immersion in a culture is the best way to learn a foreign language. If living in another country is not possible, then the next best thing is to listen to as much of the language as you can.   You should try to read a little bit more every day and listen to television and radio shows as often as you can. Try to mimic the accents that you hear. Audio books are a great way to listen to a language. You can use the time that you spend riding the train or bus to listen to a few book chapters. If you don’t have audio books, then listen to song lyrics and try to imitate the way the words sound. Whatever you do, never give up.   Be sure to visit gonaturalenglish.com and discover a community of American English learners who are experiencing the same struggles, anxieties, and even joys of learning a new language. You will be amazed at how quickly your fluency improves once you start spending time immersed in

Before undertaking any task or project, it is best to lay out your plan of attack. If you are building something out of wood, a popular saying is “measure twice and cut once.” Why? Because it is best to err on the side of caution and make sure the plan and measurements are right before actually cutting any materials.   Learning a language is no different. In this first step to American English fluency Gabby talks about planning and determining what your goal is. Whatever your reason for wanting to learn English, be sure that you study the proper way. This means focusing your attention on the type of English you want to use. Different trades require different vocabularies, some very technical and scientific or medical.   Go Natural English is a great place to learn and practice your English skills.

If you would rather improve your English language fluency the easy way rather than fight a continuous battle learning grammar, then Go Natural English is the place for you. At gonaturalenglish.com, your American English teacher, Gabby, provides great tips and advice like this on how to learn English better and faster.   Even though the words THEN and THAN can sometimes sound similar, they are very different in meaning and you must learn to use them appropriately if you want to be understood when you speak English. Usually you would use the word THEN when you have one event following another in time. For example, you might say, “I get off work at 5:00 PM and then go bowling with my friends at 6:00 PM.” On the other hand, THAN is used for comparison. For example, “I would much rather eat pizza than tacos.”   English is a fun language to learn and use but you must constantly put yourself in situations where you are forced to use it. Read, write, and speak as much, and as often as you can. You will be surprised a

Have you ever had a teacher say to you, “Put the book down and listen to me?” While books are good and necessary for learning, there comes a time when exposure to the conversational tone of the language is absolutely necessary. Even though English is spoken in countries around the world, different countries and even different regions within countries tend to have a variety of accents and phrases that may not always make sense outside of their respective communities.   Traditionally we have been taught that learning rigid grammar rules (along with their exceptions) is the proper way to learn a language. In this episode Gabby explains that maybe a better way to learn is to actually listen to people speak, and pay attention to how they use certain words and phrases. Once you hear the spoken word, it might be easier to study the grammatical structures behind the words and their meanings.   If you want to learn English faster and better while improving your conversational skills, visit gonaturalenglish.com and use

Are you fortunate enough to be able to pick up foreign languages? Not everybody is, so, consider yourself lucky if you are. One of the biggest mistakes that people make is to try and provide a literal word-for-word translation. If you’ve ever watched a foreign film with English subtitles, you have probably had a good laugh at some of the translations. In fact, I’d bet on it.   When it comes to learning a new language, it takes time, but you have to get to the point where you are not translating in your head from one language to another. You get to that point where you simply understand what is being said without the intermediate translation. This is what you should be striving for in your quest for mastery of the English language.   In this English tip, Gabby explains that process and the reason why it is so important. Don’t get frustrated and give up. Push yourself to improve your English comprehension. Visit gonaturalenglish.com for more tips and support.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9TyrwW3-Qc   Epis
