I'm Gabby Wallace, your American English teacher and today I'm not in a recording studio. Today I'm coming to you from the shore of the Bosphorus River. You can see behind me. I hope it's not too distracting but this is the best place – kind of quiet – where I could make a quick English tip and update for you today. So, in this quick tip, I want to talk about why it's difficult to become fluent in English and what the answer is. How to become fluent in English. I get this question so much. How can I become fluent in English? What should I do? Well, I think the biggest problem is that in most English classes we don't start with steps or formula, or instructions. You know how when you get a new – it could be a new toy, it could be a new piece of furniture, it could be a new game – you usually read the instructions or maybe a friend tells you how to play the game. But you need to know the rules in order to play the game, and for me, that's a lot like learning English. I mean, in my mind it really helps me to know the rules before I play a game, and learning a language to me is a lot like playing a game. So, what I'd like to do with you over the next seven quick English tips, back-to-back, I'm going to share my seven steps for English fluency. These are steps that I made for the Go Natural English community, for you, to show you exactly the rules of the game – How to become fluent in English.
