Action 1: Listen And Repeat At The Same Tim
Listen to the native study material and repeat what you hear immediately. I mean immediately. Right at the moment you hear it.
I would like to stress the importance of this. When you hear the beginning of a sentence, you repeat the beginning of the sentence. When you hear the middle of a sentence, you repeat the middle of the sentence. When you hear the end of a sentence, you repeat the end of the sentence. Whenever you hear something, repeat that immediately.
In other words, repeat what you hear as quickly as you can. Say it back without trying to understand it or trying memorize it.
Yes. I typed it right, and you read it right. Say it back without trying to understand it or trying memorize it. Just repeat what you hear immediately as quickly as you can. And relax! What you're doing here is naturally building your fluency. You're doing this to train your brain, your mouth, your tongue, your lips, your throat, your lungs, your stomach ... and everything you need to NATURALLY speak English without first translating it! So just say what you hear immediately without trying to understand it or memorize it. Let the meaning, the grammar, the vocabulary ... and everything else build subconsciously.
In the beginning of your practice, if you hear words you don't know how to say or words that are hard to say, that's perfectly fine. Just try to say the words or just make some noise and move on.
Action 2: Finish Repeating The Whole Material
Listen to and repeat the whole material from the beginning straight to the end. If you have to pause it, pause it. When you come back, keep going from where you've left off. What you're doing here is building your flow, making you speak whole sentences instead of just words, so repeat whole sentences and the whole material from the beginning to the end.
Again, if you come across something you can't say correctly or can't say at all, that's fine – just make some noise and move on. Remember, even if there are words you can't say, keep on going forward. Continue all the way to the end.
Action 3: Record Your Voice
Yes, record your voice practicing this piece of native study material. This is crucial. Do NOT skip this.
Now you know how to practice the repeating strategy and you have already repeated this material once. At this point, you'll need to record your own voice repeating this same piece of material. So find a recording device such as your computer, another cell phone, or other recording device and record your voice.
By the way, you'll need to put on a pair of headphones to listen to the native study material this time so that you can record your voice clearly. So listen to the native study material through your headphones this time. Find a recording device such as your computer, another cell phone, or other recording device and record your voice do the following:
Record your voice repeating the whole material from the beginning to the end.
Repeat everything you know how to say and make some noise on everything you don't know how to say. Just do your best and keep on going forward.
Remember to keep going straight forward until you get to the end. Save your voice file and leave it alone. You will listen to it later.
Action 4: Finish Repeating The Whole Material All At Once Yet Another Time
For the third time, listen to and repeat the same material from the beginning right to the end. You want to keep your flow going – repeat the full sentences and the whole material. Repeat everything you know how to say and make some noise on everything you don't know how to say. Just do your best and keep going forward until you reach the end.
Action 5: Rewind And Repeat The Words You Can't Say As Many Times As You Need
Now that you have listened to and repeated the whole thing three times and you know the sentence flow. It's time to listen to and repeat the same thing again. Yet this time, immediately go back to the words you can't say or have hard time to say. Listen to them again and try to say them again. Try to say them again and listen to them again. Try once, twice, three times.... Try as many times you need UNTIL you can finally say them.
Action 6: Ignore The Meaning And Focus On Speaking
When you hear and repeat some words you don't know the meaning of, just ignore the meaning and keep practicing speaking. Yes, you read it right. Do ignore the meaning and focus only on speaking.
Avoid translating the words! You want to understand these words in English, not in other languages! To speak English like a native, you'll need to speak English NATURALLY. Let the meaning of the words come to you naturally in English, and you can accomplish that by learning more. When you master speaking, you'll understand the words automatically, in English. So ignore the meaning and focus on speaking and only on speaking.
Action 7: Finish Repeating The Whole Material For Three Times
Now that you know how to say every word in this piece of native study material. It's time to practice the whole thing again. From the beginning to the end, practice saying what you hear for three times. Be sure to mimic the flow, the tones, the volumes, the expressions, the speed... Try to mimic everything.
Practice this piece of native study material three times and then move on.
Action 8: Record Your English
Congratulations for getting this far! Now it's time to record your voice again repeating the same piece of native study material. Take out your recording device and record yourself repeating the very same piece of material you've been practicing. Save your voice file.
Now it's time to compare your recordings. Listen to the first recording first and then listen to the second recording. How do you like your English in the beginning? How do you like your English now? Do you hear any improvement?
If you don't hear any improvement, that's fine. This piece of native study material may not be a good fit for you or you may be too good for this piece of native study material. Let's move on. Take Action 9.
If you do hear improvement, congratulations, you ARE speaking better than before. Let's do even better than that! Move on.
Is your English as good as the speaker? If your English is as good as the speaker, good job! You are beginning to speak like a native! Keep up the good work! Let's take Action 9.
