Right now.  Stop.  Put away your grammar books and textbooks.  Grammar rules teach you to think about English, you want to speak fast-- without thinking! TIP 3:  Listen and Answer, not Listen and RepeatUse Listen & Answer Mini-Story Lessons    In each Mini-Story Lesson, a speaker tells a short simple story.  He also asks a lot of easy questions.   Every time you hear a question, you pause and answer it.  You learn to answer questions quickly-- without thinking.  Your English becomes automatic.  Tip 4:  Learn The Most Common English IdiomsWhat is an idiom?  An idiom is two or more words with a special meaning.   Idioms are difficult, because often you can't find them in a dictionary.  For example,  "to have a blast" is an idiom.   What does it mean?   You probably know "have", and you may know "blast" (which means "an explosion or a bomb")... but what does the phrase "to have a blast" mean?Actually it means "to have a lot of fun;  to enjoy a lot"  There are thousands of idioms in English.  Luckily, you don't need to know all of them.  However, you MUST know the most common idioms-- because native speakers use them all the time.   That is one difference between reading English and speaking English--   native speakers use more idioms when they speak.   To understand them fast, you must understand common idioms. **How To Learn The Most Common Idioms and Speak FasterThere are two steps to learning idioms:1.  Buy a Dictionary of Idioms 2.  Listen to real English  (TV, movies, podcasts, etc.)When you listen to real English, write down strange phrases that you don't understand.  Then use your Dictionary of Idioms to find the meanings.   By doing this, you will improve your understanding and speaking.  You will be able to speak to native speakers faster. </blockquote>
