Introduction
This video explains how deliberate speech significantly improved the speaker's Spanish fluency. The speaker, Qroo Paul, discusses this technique and provides tips for mastering it.
Key Takeaways
Deliberate Speech: This technique involves speaking with control, choosing words intentionally, using simple phrasing, and pausing to gather thoughts. It's not about speaking slowly like a robot, but about speaking with intention and clarity.
Avoid Translation: Don't translate entire sentences mentally before speaking. Start with sentence starters and build the sentence as you go.
Slow Down: Avoid speaking rapidly. Practice controlling your speed and avoid sounding like an auctioneer.
Learn in Chunks: Learn Spanish phrases as if they were Lego pieces. This helps build sentences more easily.
Practice Out Loud: Practice speaking Spanish aloud, even when alone. Narrate your day in Spanish to build vocabulary and fluency.
Don't Aim for Perfection: Mistakes are part of the learning process. Don't let them discourage you; learn from them.
