English fluency can feel easy in one conversation and difficult in another. You may answer simple questions easily, then lose your train of thought when you need to speak for several minutes. Or perhaps you speak clearly one-to-one, but struggle to join a fast-moving group discussion. Your English level did not suddenly change. The speaking situation changed. In this episode, you'll learn what English fluency really means and why different speaking situations require different skills. We'll look at three types of speaking: everyday exchanges, where you need to listen and respond quickly speaking at length, when you tell a story, explain a problem, give an update, or share an opinion group discussions, where you need to follow several speakers and find the right moment to join You'll also think about your own speaking practice. Which of these three situations is most difficult for you right now? Your answer can help you decide what kind of speaking practice you need next.
