to speak fluently?"},"content":{"rendered":"<h2>How to speak fluently?<\/h2>\n<p>Logically speaking with clarity and fluency is usually the goal to be reached by the vast majority of people who are learning languages.\u00a0And the question comes to our mind,\u00a0<strong>what does \u201cfluency\u201d mean?\u00a0And the most important thing is, how can you get it when you study languages?\u00a0<\/strong>In this article, we are going to provide you with some details so that you can achieve good fluency in the language you are learning.<\/p>\n<h2>How to speak fluently<\/h2>\n<p>To get off to a good start, we will try to answer the question posed in the head of this article, what does it mean to speak fluently?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>According to the Cambridge Dictionary<\/strong>\u00a0, fluency is explained as &#8220;the ability to speak or write in a language easily, correctly and quickly&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Merriam-Webster Dictionary<\/strong>\u00a0, raises another very interesting definition: fluency is &#8220;the quality or state of being fluid.&#8221;\u00a0And someone fluent (fluently) is &#8220;anyone who is capable of using a language with ease and precision.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But let&#8217;s go to the root of the word so as not to get twisted along the way:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fluidity&#8221; comes from the Latin word &#8220;fluo&#8221;, which means &#8220;to flow.&#8221;\u00a0Therefore, when you are \u201cfluent\u201d in a particular language, the conversation with another person flows perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>To understand each other well, you are fluent in a language when you have reached,\u00a0<strong>for example, the level of B2 on the CEFR scale<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Naturally, you don&#8217;t know all the words yet, and therefore you can&#8217;t master the language like a native speaker.\u00a0But you can already use it in many situations, to understand what they say to you and answer with a certain self-confidence, without hesitating too much.<\/p>\n<h2>How to achieve this desired fluency?<\/h2>\n<p>It is evident that in order to achieve the level of fluency (B2) in the language you are learning you need to be fluent in a solid vocabulary.\u00a0We must say that this is the first step you must take to obtain a good command of the language.<\/p>\n<p>As we said, you do not have to know all the words that a native uses.\u00a0But you should understand more words than you normally use actively, so it is wise to say others, so you should acquire more passive vocabulary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The important thing is that you focus on the right words<\/strong>\u00a0, because it can happen that you know thousands of specialized words and still not be fluent.\u00a0So you should choose carefully what you want to learn.<\/p>\n<h3>The essential words<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The most effective way to be able to speak a language quickly is to learn between the 800 to 1,000 words that appear most frequently in a language.<\/li>\n<li><strong>If you learn only 800 of the most used words in English<\/strong>\u00a0, you will be able to understand 75% of the language as it is spoken in normal life.<\/li>\n<li>That number of words is far more valuable than others, simply because they are used so much more often.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>800 words will help us to speak a new language in an everyday environment<\/strong>\u00a0, but to understand actors in film or television we will need to know at least the 3,000 most common words.<\/p>\n<p>And if we want to become familiar with the written language, we must learn from 8,000 to 9,000.<\/p>\n<h2>How to learn vocabulary?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The great secret to learning a large vocabulary in English is quite simple:<\/strong>\u00a0study regularly without effort, no matter how small, nothing is achieved.\u00a0So you just have to start learning the words that best suit your goals when studying a new language.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To be able to memorize English vocabulary well, there are many methods.\u00a0In the following lines we offer you a series of tips, drawn from a very rich experience:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make<\/strong>\u00a0vocabulary\u00a0<strong>cards<\/strong>\u00a0according to word category.<\/li>\n<li>Use memo techniques like mind maps.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try to think in English<\/strong>\u00a0so that you can formulate sentences in English faster.<\/li>\n<li>Use certified bilingual dictionaries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Put notes on all the furniture and<\/strong>\u00a0everyday\u00a0<strong>objects<\/strong>\u00a0in your home in the language you are learning.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Play the radio or music in this foreign language regularly.\u00a0<\/strong>Even if you are not listening continuously, you will unconsciously learn new vocabulary.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Watch TV<\/strong>\u00a0, even if you don&#8217;t understand it.\u00a0If you do it daily, you will be surprised how you improve in understanding every month.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Create your own flashcards<\/strong>\u00a0, with new words that you have learned on one side and with a drawing or photo that represents them on the other.\u00a0Try to remember the words just by looking at the pictures.<\/li>\n<li>Use children&#8217;s songs to learn new words.\u00a0<strong>The melody will help you memorize them much more easily.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Read a lot, looking for original material at your level.\u00a0<\/strong>If you are a beginner, try reading comics, children&#8217;s books, or special books for beginner-level students.\u00a0The most important thing is to find material that you find really interesting.<\/li>\n<li>Use board games like Scrabble to consolidate your vocabulary.<\/li>\n<li>Do crosswords and word searches.<\/li>\n<li>Use some of the many online games and applications to learn vocabulary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finally,
