Basically, your English speech won’t be fluent for as long as you prepare the speech in your head using your native language. And mind this – you don’t necessarily have to be aware of this process. It’s not like you’re actually speaking in your mother’s tongue with yourself and then translating into English (although it may happen, too!)
It’s more like the first thought corresponding to what you want to say is in your language. And then you’re translating it into English subconsciously.
Consciously or not, the end result is the same – slow and unnatural spoken English.
So how to stop this vicious circle? The answer is – by re-building your spoken English! If you understand the importance of English collocations, phrasal verbs and expressions, you can start taking the action right now!
