I talk rapidly so when I talked in English that velocity was maintained by my brain. Then, after an oral test at the University, I discovered that trying to talk slower can help me to think better what to say next.

Learning a language is a long life process. How to improve your speaking skills: *Slow down when you speak, it gives you time to think, you sound more confident. *Kiss _ keep it simple (vocabulary, grammar) *don't worry about your mistakes _ Thank you professor

[@adoptalandiaalisa5496]

Perfect tips! Absolutely true! + take your time to LINK the words into phrases/combinations according to what you mean… and start rehearsing by recording yourself (any mobile would work) to listen and to be your own teacher :) My top tip is : say what you CAN say now, not what you want to say :) and keep listening to be able to say a bit more every day 🍀

[@altynyakubowa7251]

I understood everything, I can't believe it, my English is getting better

[@thechatbox18]

What a great message you have here Ben! I am sharing this video to my students. Thank you! You are a terrific teacher and communicator.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Thank you, Katty! This is the advantage of KZbin... I try to explain these things to my students in class but, for some reason, they pay more attention to videos than me in person 🤦‍♂️😆

[@ablessing891]

You're an amazing teacher! I hope when I start my job as an ESL teacher, I'll be as good to my students.✨ Thanks!

[@5ll3x]

So true!

[@xilianarodriguez7016]

Love it! Always clear and concise!

😃 Thanks, Xiliana!

I feel lucky to find your channel, keep going because you're exactly doing what English learners,and personal I'm planning on learning Spanish after mastering English, maybe after 2 years or less,so I wonder if you could tell us some of your experiences through your videos !.

Thanks for your advice! Unfortunately I make all the mistakes you talk about in the video, but thanks to you I will try to avoid them!

Good!

[@miraalybaeva2938]

Thank you so much for giving your advice and for sharing your experience (studying Spanish) with us.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

You're welcome 🙂

[@kerrylosi1595]

Hi Ben. Thanks. I will definitely share this with my francophone friends. And I take these tips in stride especially for when I speak french. I do think that I speak really fast and I try to remind myself to slow down. It’s great to be reminded from time to time. I just discovered your channel and I am hooked. Bravo Ben. 🥰

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

😃👍

[@adrianoroyorkshire]

Wow, that was a nice surprise! I'm Brazilian, learnt English from a British tutor, moved to London, my GCSE English grade was 5, and everything was great. However, after moving to the north of England (Yorkshire), everyone kept making funny remarks about my accent as being 'Posh, posh, and posh...', and it kind of triggered an uncomfortable sensation in me every time I have to open my mouth to speak. The result is that I've kind of lost what I had learned and now it is exactly how you describe - overthinking, words don't come, and I refuse small talks, just no! I feel awkward most of the time and to top it off I'm going onto uni in September. Well. I've just subscribed your channel, thanks for sharing. Cheers

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

You're welcome, Adriano!

[@alitomaev1253]

Hi Ben! I'II follow you video it's nice thx!

[@viktoriyamochalova5047]

Hi Ben! Thank you so much for your video. It is essential to understand that there is nothing wrong with making mistakes while speaking any other language.I know that feeling when people judge you for making mistakes.I guess striving for perfection will bring you nothing but frustration.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

That's right 👍

[@gianinaachim3010]

Thanks a lot! I have to learn Danish !😮

[@smirnigggashow7459]

Everything is remarkable what you do,Ben!

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@mustafabudce3604]

Hi Ben. I have heard quite an understandable accent recently. Thank you for the videos. I wish to continue

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Great 👍

[@EsDemente]

Man, your channel is so great that I don't understand how you don't have millions of subs. All the tips you gave in this video are precise. As a native Spanish speaker, I am in an interview process in English, and the nervousness kills me, I end up thinking I fail the interview and I wasn't enjoying the process. These three tips are just perfect.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Thanks... I appreciate your comment. Good luck with the interview process!

[@orianafajardo4927]

Firstly Ben, I can't thank you enough for your useful videos. I discovered them a couple of months ago while I was preparing myself for the C1 exam without any academy support, and honestly you have become my best guide! Not only are you one of the best online English teachers I have seen, but also you have a great understanding of how hard is to learn a second language as you are in this process as well with your Spanish. Therefore, we can feel your effort to simplify any English grammar with remarcable examples and great pace. Un millón de gracias! (From a Spanish subscriber living in UK who is taking the C1 exam on 5th November) :)

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Thanks for your message, Oriana! Good luck with the exam and enjoy the UK 🙂

[@sophiek3292]

I need to work on #3...

[@xedigegurbanova9983]

Thanks, Ben for this video. Really I become nervous when speaking which is vice versa when writing.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Hi Xedige... yes, speaking a second language can be a nerve wracking experience whereas writing is much more comfortable because you have time to think about how you to express yourself. That's why simply slowing down when speaking can be so effective.

[@joanzensillystuff2285]

As I mentioned in the Chat box, I think you hit the target with this video. The more you learn, the more afraid you are and the difficulty increases dramatically. We have to be gentle with yourself. Congratulations! Excellent work, one of your best videos.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

So glad you liked it, Joan. Yes, be gentle with yourself and keep your eyes on the prize! (the objective)

[@abhilashb7922]

Ben sir 🙏

[@zemfiramustafazade9348]

Hello. I've just watched your video and I really liked it. I'm a new subscriber. Thank you for your great tips! That's exactly what I need to know.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Welcome! 🙂

[@elival9233]

Ben, your Spanish is outstanding. I really like your pronunciation. Thanks for the tips.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

😂 Thank you, Eli!

[@ritagreco3359]

Thank you Ben, you are a perfect communicator and your tips so helpful and easy to follow. And then I send you a big hug and a k.i.s.s.😂😂🤗

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

😆 Thanks Rita!! A k.i.s.s. to you too!

[@jessicamiroortiz7917]

Yes you're totally right. Time to time I forget my the goal of the English process. And I am focused only in my mistakes, which embarrassed my learning process. I speak better when I am relaxed without thinking about how can I say that or this. So keep calm and enjoy the process!!

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Exactly, Jessica! Keep calm and enjoy the process... couldn't have put it better myself!

[@mantreshsingh]

Ben , pls make a lesson on how to tell a story in English using Tense Shifting and playing with the Tenses and direct n indirect speech, n how u guys as a native speaker tell a stories in informal and formal setting using all linking device n make it connected to give immediacy effect. Thanks

[@Erraiad]

I’m not sure how can I say this … but I’m literally crying. It may seem overreacting but I’ve experienced the same thing. I went to Canada and started from level 1 , for about a year and half I was so outgoing and would talk and have lots of confidence. I enjoyed my English learning journey so much . Then started university, and everything went downhill from there. I was surrounded with people who might not be the friendless if that a word. Anyway, I become insure and wouldn’t ask , talk o communicate in general. I didn’t want to be judged by these native speakers and professors. I become anxious, sad and developed a phobia of any kind of communication. I mad it out of school university somehow, and I managed to do only 3 presentations ( I was forced ) and maybe asked 5 questions in a room full of students . Until today , I’m trying to figure out to break this fear and start my journey with English. Since I can’t write one email with an a proof for my friend that it has no mistakes .. I don’t know and why I’m saying this … but you made me realize it now . Thank you 🙏🏽

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

I can relate to that. We just need to relax, ignore negative people and enjoy the journey.

[@Erraiad]

@@tothepointenglishwithben. would you have any video/ or a suggestion for me? I trying to start learning English and become a confident speaker and writer . The issue I'm facing is that I have graduated from university and I have a very high level of listening skills but I lost the knowledge of writing or speaking . Especially writing.. I rely so much on a proof reading system or a Friend to submit any work . How to start learning at a level that I have so much knowledge and Information in my head , it is harder than learning a language from zero when you have no clue about it .

[@lisan8007]

The 1st tip is brilliant. I have come to the same conclusion. It's just hard to control sometimes. All the tips are great actually!

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Glad you liked the tips

[@auzaluis]

Good vídeo! New subscriber!

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Welcome 🙂

[@cliffborman4522]

I'm feeling myself in what you've said. It's my current situation even though I've stayed in South Africa for nearly 2 years. I have a wide range of vocabulary but I often wonder about how people listen to me. Thank you so much for these tips

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

You're welcome. I'm glad you can relate to them

[@cintiasmalko51]

I agree with you. I know what you're talking about. I studied other languages ​​like Dutch living in The Netherlands and Ukrainian and English in the USA. If you think all the time about speaking perfect, you do not speak out of fear of being wrong. When children learn to speak, they do not have that fear...that is the best. Even better than that is how you teach, all the time you explain in the language that you are teaching without translation.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Exactly! 🙂

[@olgamattarocci4535]

So that was the guy on the sofa behind saying hello to us? Love your idea! And find it very helpful!

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

🙂 Yes, that's Amy. She appears at the end of most of my videos (and sometimes in the middle, apparently!)

[@olgamattarocci4535]

@@tothepointenglishwithben. Beautiful lady! Sorry for the "guy", I don't know I tend to think that all dogs are male 😅 Really, your videos are very inspiring! Thank you!

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Thanks Olga... I appreciate it. (And don't worry, I won't tell Amy you thought she was a boy 😁)

[@dmov123]

A family friendly-version of K.I.S.S is "Keep it super simple" 😁😁

[@CheeryCatify]

Another tip: Don't try to translate from your native language, but instead start to think in the language you want to learn ☺ that helped me a lot 👌🏻

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Good tip! 👍

[@risatedarte5366]

It's not easy, my students can't do it (I'm a French teacher}

[@fleurblanche7642]

🙃Yes it is very difficult to achieve fluency it depends on many factors and one of these being the attitude and the character of the learner but yes stay positive is the right way to proceed

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

That's right 👍

[@AllanDavisArt]

When you said to think of your favorite speakers, I immediately thought of Russel Brand & Ben Shapiro lol. But I'm a massive fan of Sam Harris as well. I also admire Christopher Hitchens' eloquence.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Christopher Hitchens was the one of the greatest speakers and debaters. 👍

[@deliagi]

yes, it's terrible! Before to start to prepare for Cae I felt so confident speaking in english because I felt the bare ability to communicate. Now I am struggling with phrasal verbs and it seems to me as if I am a beginner. Probably these tips are not the right ones when you have only 20 days before the exam :) Anyway it has been so sueful to continue too watch at your videos!

[@petrap.7256]

Hi, Ben! Thanks for the tips, very useful. There's something I couldn't have ignored while watching the video: what is going on in the lower left corner during the K.I.S.S explanations? :D

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

That must be Amy 🙂

[@miguelmelo8735]

BEN I LOVED THESE HOT TIPS THAT YOU OFFER US .THEY MAKE US FEEL SO CONFIDENT...SLOW DOWN..AS YOU SAID (PRESIDENT,MINISTER SPEAK SLOWLY ,HERE IN BRAZIL IT'S THE SAME THEY SPEAK SLOWLY DURING THEIR SPEECH) GOOD TIP..THANK YOU!!!!! Yes it's true once a Germany ask me in portuguese onde é a farma- cia? stressing the last syllable which is a common mistake in portuguese...but it didn't hindered her from speaking and She made herself understood ...just slight grammar (mistakes).

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Yes, usually context is everything 🙂

[@norarodriguez1704]

I was actually paying close attention to your very interesting video until your dog caught my attention and subconsciously invited me to look at her. jajajaja she's really gorgeous....P.S. I took notes of everything you said to try to help my students on this filed. Thank a lot!!

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Ahh... she usually sleeps behind on the sofa while I'm recording but this time she was a bit restless 🤷‍♂️😆

[@ijustcarryon]

I couldn't explain it better. I went to hospital this morning, with a badly stomache. I was so worry about if I speak well speedy my words. Then, a doctor told me: just lay down and relax... haha. Everything fine btw☺

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Ha! A perfect , real world example! Thanks for sharing it... and I'm glad you're ok.

[@abhilashb7922]

Nobody is here to speak, I just listen all of your videos

Sometimes 3:07 I’m amused by your either sarcastic (or ironic) manner of joking.

Now I listen to a soap opera on KZbin every day. Is this business useful for listening or not? I understand nothing if subtitles aren't published but I can memorize some idioms if the subtitles are present

[@joaocarloscosta1540]

I dont know what happen with me. I have been studying English for 4 yeas. Every single day in online courses, my English is horrible, Im not fluent and I don understand natives.... I think I have some cognitive problem.

Kiss may also be: fall in love with someone who doesn't speak your language and you'll quickly learn a second language 😂😂😂😂
