It's tough to improve the speed of your speech because there are so many factors involved: stuttering, fluency

with the lan

that you're describing, vocabulary, and many different speaking habits.

There are two exercises and one idea that can powerfully improve your power, clarity, and speed in your speaking. I recom

Super-sonic Speed Exercise 1

First, you need to get a feeling for how quickly you need to speak. In general, if you're able to say approximately 80 words p
you speak at a rate that most would consider fluent; an average native speaker will speak about 100 words (this is how fast
spoke naturally) in 30 seconds and if you can do that comfortably; you’ve basically mastered the language. To make sure th

A second exercise will ensure that you can apply the previous practice to your everyday speaking speed. Set a stopwatch to

An Important Idea for Speaking Speed

This exercise is tough, but it always works with students who do it on a consistent basis, which means everyday for about 2

The final idea that will help you speak more quickly is to know what you’re talking about and form simple, clear sentences
yourself. If you try to be too complex or talk about what you have no idea about, even a native speaker would speak pretty
