Hi there. I hope you are all having a great weekend.

This is going to be a brief and simple post today – just to get you thinking. Do you have a plan of how you are going to reach your spoken English goals or are you just “aimlessly” reading different textbooks, continuing to invest in English courses that don’t have an impact or spending hour after hour browsing the web looking for “useful” spoken English content.

Remember that without a plan, you are planning to fail.

Anyway here are 5 simple steps that the Inspired English system follows to help you with your development. Stick to these rules and you will be a step ahead than most other spoken English students:

1. Learn English phrases for relevant situations – listen and practice.
2. Use the Quickfire technique (listening to short conversations and then answering questions) to help you think in English.
3. Practice listening and speaking English every day.
4. Watch repeatedly small sections of English movies, listen to English radio and other poscasts.
5. Study the DNA of English using word association with symbols and pictures.

Simple eh! More soon, Poppy

Hi – This is the first post on Spoken English Online! Yes, this new blog is linked to the Inspired English spoken English web-site, but my role here is to develop an open discussion about the world of spoken English. I plan to share with you my thoughts, advice and ideas on how to learn spoken English quickly and with confidence. I will also provide you with links and articles to other sites in the on-line world that I hope you will find of interest. As you will see from some of the future posts, your personal development is key to your success in learning spoken English – make sure that you use these articles to your advantage.

Until then, wishing you every success, Poppy.
