Fluency in 5 minutes a day (with the chunking method)

- Today, I'm gonna show you a simple technique

that can dramatically improve your fluency,

and it just takes five minutes a day.

(bright upbeat music)

Hello my, friends, it's Keith

from the Keith Speaking Academy.

And here today to help you

become a more fluent speaker of English.

Now this one technique I mentioned

is called the chunking method.

Now you've probably heard of this.

I've talked about it a little bit before.

but I want to make it crystal clear,

super easy for you today

so that you can start practicing this straight away today

and getting to that habit of five minutes a day

practicing this chunking.

Sound good?

Great.

So in this video,

I'm gonna show you how this works, how you can practice,

and then we'll finish up with a little story

to review this.

Let's do it.

Now then, one of the reasons you're not fluent yet

is probably because you focus on individual words.

And this is quite normal for students to do.

The thing is, proficient speakers and native speakers,

we don't focus on individual words,

we focus on chunks,

two or three words together.

And we speak with chunks and we think in chunks.

If you focus on individual words,

it slows you down.

And it's because normally,

you've learned through writing and reading English.

And so you're focusing on the written word

that you see is individual words.
