[@Artofverbalwar]

Good luck @Victoria Magwizi! I think it will really help if you commit to practicing this daily.

[@slickcatricky7694]

@@Artofverbalwar hi in your example of connecting topics, how can you transition it to the other topic without it sounding weird? For example Cheesecake factory- factories- china-workers-hardhats. How do you transition? What to say to transition?

I need to try this...I'm from Africa so English is not my first language .... it's not like I can't speak it...but I find it hard to say what's on my mind and I figured that it's easier for me to write things down than saying them. I want to be a doctor and I Know my career will require me to be interactive and I really just want to work on my communication skills... Thank you so much for this video 💞

[@cammantialive]

Very cool. Thank you.

[@kamarucci99]

I love how you have an RSD video in here, they are how I found this channel and why I got into learning verbal skills. I have high functioning autism so this stuff is like a gold mine to me. I think RSD instructors and Art of verbal war are my 2 favorite Channels!!!

[@Artofverbalwar]

Thanks Deep Purple. Stay positive my friend!

Thanks so much!

[@AllisonMagicElite]

Thank you very much!

[@vini.trindad]

great video and content overall, vut did you really had to shoot it with your mic inside a blender?

[@chaitanyaadari8995]

I knew that it is completely away from our subject but still!!!

[@Artofverbalwar]

No worries. Would love to answer your question, but what did you mean by "fillers"?

[@allinelouise]

Thank you for the great tips! I have a question, I’m bilingual so when I’m thinking about words some words are in English and others in my native language. Should I count both or stick to one? Thanks!

[@Artofverbalwar]

You’re welcome! I would stick to one or the other if possible.

[@musabzulfiqar]

This is great stuff Min! Just to make sure for the first exercise to all following words relate to the original word or the word used before it? As well for the second exercise, are we doing opposites of the first words used or the word directly before it?

[@Artofverbalwar]

Good question Musab! In the first exercise, the following words should relate to the word right before it. In the second exercise, you are doing opposites of the word directly before it as well.

[@paganiyah]

I'll try this exercises to learn flirting.... Any particular tips for that?

[@motusialaoa7973]

Hi this is vanhou and i love your vidios.I mostly like your fitness plus vidio😇😇😄😄😄

[@RedditFriends]

Day 1 of practice, I'll be back in a month to report my results.

[@dustysgap4297]

How did it go?

[@RedditFriends]

@@dustysgap4297 Too good, what I was doing was first a vowel with related words, then with a vowel and unrelated words, then a word but it had to be about some topic (soccer for example) and then mention many other words related to the topic (referee, coach, goalkeeper...). One minute for each vowel and word of course. I made this my routine and it has worked excellent.

[@dustysgap4297]

@@RedditFriends that’s great to hear

[@drivers1]

And did your verbal fluency improve in any way? Like can you speak easier now without having to take breaks to think about what to say?

[@Ser_Ri]

How long should you do these 2 exercises each day?

[@Artofverbalwar]

Good question @sertjeh. I suggest doing each exercise for two minutes straight (for a total of four minutes). If that's too hard at first, no problem. Just do them for one minute each.

[@Top3-z6y]

What happened to your site

[@cond.oriano4945]

Did the free association one I went from baby all the way to german beer, I don't know either lol

[@ookiedokie7081]

I'll try this I'll update you guys in 2 weeks if this works

[@eljefea2802]

Any updates?

[@mortal3861]

Does this work?Did anyone detected results?

[@mershadmajeed2246]

Hey This exercise can be done on other languages other languages Hope you will answer ❤️

[@Artofverbalwar]

I don't see why you couldn't. You'll just have to modify it if the language doesn't use the Roman alphabet.

[@InSync3912]

Love your channel! Im normally quite fluent whne im not asked :D But when I do get asked, I get sort of blockage and all possible asnwers just flee away and i stay there blinking ..... Is there a way/exercise to practice coolness, and swiftness of reaction?

[@Ari_00X]

1) 5 slow, deep breaths 2) slow down 3) tell yourself - "my questioners / listeners are my friends, they wish me no harm.'

[@Nicki-jk9th]

I wish I talk fluently

[@ayushsharma-wd1vq]

Can this help in stuttering??

[@edgarmartin8777]

ayush sharma 100%. There’s a saying, “ don’t look where you don’t want to go.” Part of the challenge with stuttering in conversation is individuals focus on the fact they do not want to stutter and this keeps their mind from letting go and allowing word flow. These exercises will encourage the words to come out while the focus is no longer so much on thinking of trying not to stutter.

[@isaaca6445]

"... blah blah blah..." is cheating!

[@Artofverbalwar]

It's a hard exercise no question about it!

[@motusialaoa7973]

[@voltairespann3126]

For a much better cognitive capacity, memory, and focus, this brain training game “nonu amazing only” (Google it) is highly recommended. I really love this app! I had been able to find out the difficult parts and figure out where I`ve got an advantage. I seriously appreciate making use of this game to help myself progress and have some fun.

[@Artofverbalwar]

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@JuanCarlos-lf5nt]

No entendí 😔

[@Ty-hx5ts]

Anyone else think the first one is a lot harder than the first?

[@unnamed2033]

Ty first one harder than first?

[@ChristianHDD]

Ah yes the floor is made of floor

[@michaelandrewgarcia96]

Has this worked for anyone?

[@yamchathewolf7714]

Would chess be a good brain training game?

[@Artofverbalwar]

Definitely, but I'm not sure if it has application to verbal fluency.

[@yamchathewolf7714]

Art of Verbal War Yeah, probably not. Thanks for the response and the useful tips though!

[@Artofverbalwar]

You're welcome @Yamcha the wolf!

[@motusialaoa7973]

Im so sorry. The message i just done was a mistake.

[@quabledistocficklepo3597]

The comments don't make me optimistic. Where are the people who benefitted from these tips? When I saw the video, I thought that this system was worth a try, and I was planning to do so for at least a week; however, after reviewing the comments, I'm not so confident. My reason is that if this technique were really useful, I should be seeing many thank you notes from people who actually benefitted from it. I don't. It's been a year since this video was posted, and I see only one positive, though INARTICULATE, report of progress made. That's not encouraging. However, I see a few references to "nonu amazing only," so I'll take a look.

[@GoogleAccount-po1gl]

Quabledistocficklepo Yeah, maybe because most people didnt practice. Just like you. Try it. If it works, then it works. If it doesnt then it doesn't. But try it before you dismiss it.

[@quabledistocficklepo3597]

Google Account, That's one way, but a more Intelligent way is to get other people to try first. I did, and the results were not very promising. Why should I take your word? Unfortunately, I don't see even ONE person here who has achieved any kind of fluency. To me, that's not a reason to waste my time on something with absolutely NO evidence of its effectiveness.

[@GoogleAccount-po1gl]

Quabledistocficklepo Dude, youre acting like you're gonna lose money over this. If this was gonna cost you thousands, then yes, maybe see what results others get first. Youre only gonna waste a few minutes. It doesn't hurt to be the first one to try it. And again, I can assure you that most people didnt do these excersises for very long. How long did you do this for? But if it didnt work for you, then it didnt work.

[@GoogleAccount-po1gl]

Quabledistocficklepo Huh? Ok....I understand that comments can sound hostile, so if I cake across that way, then sorry. I was just giving you my opinion. You dont have to listen to a word I say. Good luck, dude.

[@quabledistocficklepo3597]

Google Account t, The video was posted on February 23, 2017. I won't say any more on this subject, except to say that it sure seems to be taking a long time for any positive reviews to appear. Where are all the positive testimonials? No, I won't be spending any more time on this, and that includes responding to anything more you might have to say.

[@arthurfisher582]

This is not what fluency is. Fluency refers to continuity, smoothness, rate, and effort in speech production. There is no such thing as non-verbal fluency. It's like saying reading literacy. These are cognitive recall exercises. They have nothing to do with speech.

[@encouraginglyauthentic43]

Verbal fluency is your ability to move from thoughts to words quickly and to access information from your memory. You're able to express accurately what you want to say and when you want to say it.

[@arthurfisher582]

@@encouraginglyauthentic43 No, it's not. The "ability to move from thoughts to words" is called "speech". The ability to do so quickly is called "rate of speech". The ability to do so smoothly, continuously, effortlessly and consistently is called "fluency". "Verbal fluency" is a made-up, non-scientific nonsense word.
