English Fluency FormulaDid you know there's a step-by-step method to become fluent in English? It works with every student, every time. I call it the "English Fluency Formula." The formula is so simple, it fits on a napkin. The formula looks complicated, but there are only six steps you need to follow. Follow the steps when you study, and you can become a fluent English speaker very quickly. Here's the formula. The first step is the bridge method. before continuing. you will damage your pronunciation. We'll use this phrase: You had your chance! Native speakers say it like this: "Ya had-jyer chance!"

In English there are a lot of morphs. A morph is when the end of one word and the start of the next word blend together. without having to think about grammar. Step 4: Practice saying: Ya hadjyer until you master it. mp3 Construction Branching Step 3 of the formula is Construction Branching.. and express yourself. without having to stop and think about grammar.mp3 Do you hear that "j" sound? Listen again: Did-jya A construction is a fill-in-the- blank phrase. let's add "call" Did-jya call _____? (Mom.
