Learning English? Find Out Why Speaking ...

BOB THE CANADIAN
About this episode

When learning English, it is important to spend time reading, writing, listening, speaking, and building vocabulary. In my previous English lessons I've talked about the first three areas of study.

In this English lesson I'll talk a little bit about why speaking English regularly with an English speaking partner is incredibly important for your progress.

Of all of the areas you can study, speaking can be challenging because you need to find someone to talk to, and often you will have to pay for this type of English lesson, but it is worth it!

A speaking partner can immediately correct your mistakes, they can help you build confidence and the very nature of the conversation being stressful can help you remember more.

I hope you enjoy this English lesson about the importance of speaking English and having and English speaking partner!

Note: This is the audio portion of a Youtube English lesson which you can watch right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwkjs6XcEbk or find by searching Youtube for, "Bob the Canadian Speaking Practice"
