Timing in English Speaking. Using Rhythm for Speaking Fluently

2 years ago

Timing in English speaking is essential to speaking fluently. Today, I am going to show you what I just taught one of my private clients (C2 English level) about rhythm and matching a cadence when we speak. I will show you how to break a sentence into speaking parts so that you can say them fluently. We will see how to remove letters to blend words together. We will also learn an equally important skill in stretching out the timing of words to match the speaking pattern.

I want you to think of timing in English like waves at the beach. Each thing you say follows the same pattern and cadence of the waves. Once you create a timing, you need to make the words in the sentences match the timing. Only then can you deliver a fluent idea. It is also very important that you think of the thing you are communicating as not just a single sentence but a single idea. Multiple sentences on the same idea must match the same timing that you started with. This rhythm for speaking will improve your fluency.
