SpeakYourMind. Isn't that what everyone would like to be able to do in the language they are learning? Of course, speaking your mind can be very simple: 'yes' and 'no' is straight talking but no one would want to remain at that level for long. What do you need to be able to speak your mind?

words

You need words - the most important part of a language. The more words you know the more you can understand and the more precisely you can express yourself.

grammar

You need grammar - not the memorised rules that help you pass an exam - but the ability and confidence to arrange words and sentences in a way that allows people to understand you easily. You'll probably make mistakes - these are less important in real-life situations than they are in the classroom - but remember, mistakes in grammar are usually less important than using the wrong words and they are always much better than silence.

practice

You have words and you have grammar - all you need is the magic ingredient that can make all this 'real'. Practice. Without enough practice you'll probably not feel the confidence to speak - and who learns a language not to speak it?

results
