| Peter: Alright, Chigusa, you're a native Japanese speaker, so here's a question for you. Imagine you're speaking in Japanese with a learner... |
| Chigusa: Alright. |
| Peter: How can you tell how good they are...? If they're still a beginner? |
| Chigusa: Hmmm. Based on HOW they talk and respond if I ask them something. |
| Peter: What do you mean by that? |
| Chigusa: Well, if they start pausing, like searching for words or if there's a delay... I know they're a beginner. So I go easy on them. But if they respond quickly, then that means they understand what I said... |
| Peter: ...which means their Japanese is at a pretty high level, right? |
| Chigusa: Yes, most of the time, that's the case. |
| Peter: What about accents? |
| Chigusa: Not so important. As long as you're understood, you're good to go. |
| Peter: So, listeners, there are a few reasons why you should learn to speak faster and ...with confidence. |
| Chigusa: First, you generally sound better... |
| Peter: Two, if you can respond quickly, it means you understand what you hear... |
| Chigusa: ...and that means your language skills are quite good. |
| Peter: And three - this is the best one - native speakers will treat you differently... |
| Chigusa: ...because they can see you put in the work to speak the language. |
| Peter: So, here's how you do it. Number One: Read out loud. This is a basic rule, but it's a must. |
| Chigusa: Yes, because if you're reading out loud, you're essentially practicing speaking. |
| Peter: So, when you're taking our lessons, read the dialogue out loud - as you hear it. |
| Chigusa: You can read along with the dialog tool, the lesson notes, or the transcript. |
| Peter: Two: Read like a child reads their first book. So, picture a child learning to read. |
| Chigusa: First, they go slow... and sound everything out. |
| Peter: On the second or third try, they're now at a normal pace. |
| Chigusa: And on the fourth or fifth try, they can read it all quickly. |
| Peter: So, this example applies to language learning. If you've ever come across a complex sentence... |
| Chigusa: ...read it slowly, then speed up, and then you'll be able to say it easily. |
| Peter: And again, just read along - out loud - as you listen or watch a lesson. |
| Chigusa: Three: Use the Dialogue Breakdown Tool. |
| Peter: Listeners, this tool breaks down the lesson conversations... into individual lines. |
| Chigusa: You can listen to the audio for each line. You get the meanings... |
| Peter: And you can re-read and review each line as much as you want. |
| Chigusa: Four: Use the voice recorder to record and compare yourself with native speakers. |
| Peter: Just click on the microphone icon next to each line in the Dialogue section. |
| Chigusa: You can also use this to perfect your pronunciation if you want... |
| Peter: ...but the goal here is just to speak at a confident, native-level speed. |
| Chigusa: You'll find this tool in the Dialogue section for all of our lessons. |
| Peter: Five: Repeat and review old lesson conversations as much as possible. |
| Chigusa: Reaching native-level speed takes a few tries... |
| Peter: ...so if you download the lesson dialog tracks, you can re-listen to the conversations again and again. Or you can re-read the dialog lines... |
| Chigusa: ...until you've mastered them all. |
| Peter: Six: Shadow the conversations. Repeat what you've heard out loud. |
| Chigusa: Listeners, this tactic is important... |
| Peter: ...But it is tricky when you're doing a brand new lesson... |
| Chigusa: ...Because you're not used to the conversation. |
| Peter: But when you're reviewing dialogs from lessons you've done... |
| Chigusa: ....Then, it gets super easy to do. So, just listen to the dialog and repeat what you hear - as you hear it. |
| Peter: Seven: Send recordings to your Premium PLUS teacher for feedback. |
| Chigusa: If you want to speak with confidence... |
| Peter: ...then there's no better confidence boost than feedback from a native speaker. |
| Chigusa: And you get just that with a Premium PLUS teacher. |
| Peter: You can record yourself reciting a lesson dialog or anything that you'd like to do or say... |
| Chigusa: ...and your teacher will give you specific tips on how to improve. |
| Peter: So, listeners, take these tips, choose at least 1...and practice, practice, practice. |
| Chigusa: Yes, being able to respond quickly, speaking with confidence... it's not something you get on your first try... |
| Peter: But, it's something you can EASILY get with a few tries. |
| Chigusa: By the way, we're giving away a bonus PDF guide called "7 Review Tactics &Learning Tools" to help you learn language even faster. |
