| Becky: Want to perfect your speaking skills? Here’s how you do it! |
| Becky: Welcome to Innovative Language Sunday News! I'm Becky and I'll be your host. My co-host today is the founder of Innovative Language... Peter Galante! |
| Peter: Hi everyone! Peter here. |
| Becky: In this Sunday News, we’re covering 3 ways you can speak better, faster, and without making pronunciation mistakes. |
| Peter: And one of them includes our awesome new Premium PLUS feature! |
| Body |
| Peter: Okay, listeners. Have you ever noticed that most learners can read and write well... |
| Becky: ...but when it comes to speaking in their target language... |
| Peter: ...they freeze up? They need to stop and think. And sometimes they’re scared to speak. |
| Becky: Why is that? |
| Peter: We’ll tell you why that happens... |
| Becky: ...Plus the 3 ways you can improve and perfect your speaking skills, in just a bit. |
| Peter: But before we do that, we have a few quick things to announce. |
| Becky: First, there’s a brand new feature out for Premium PLUS. You can now get your speaking skills checked, corrected and perfected by a native teacher... |
| Peter: ...simply by recording yourself! You’ll find this feature inside Premium PLUS My Teacher. |
| Becky: We’ll tell you how you can take advantage of this feature and how it works, soon. |
| Peter: Second - Thanksgiving is right around the corner. |
| Becky: So listeners, we have prepared a FREE gift to thank you for your support... |
| Peter: ... and for being part of the Innovative Language family. |
| Becky: But, you’ll have to wait until next time to find out what this gift is.... |
| Peter: Becky and I will tell you how to get it in the next Sunday News! |
| Becky: Okay, Peter. Why are most beginners not good at speaking? |
| Peter: That’s a very good question, Becky. It’s actually because of how most people start learning a language. |
| Becky: What do you mean? |
| Peter: Well, you’re studying Japanese, right Becky? What were your first steps? |
| Becky: Hmm… I learned some phrases from articles online, and then got a beginner textbook. |
| Peter: So you started reading first, right? |
| Becky: Yeah, that’s right. |
| Peter: But reading doesn’t help you with speaking much. So because most beginners focus on reading, grammar and writing first... |
| Becky: ... that's what they get good at.. |
| Peter: ...but their speaking doesn’t improve. Because they dedicate more time to everything... |
| Becky: ... except speaking. That makes sense! |
| Peter: Right. So, listeners, this is where we’ll go into the 3 ways you can perfect your speaking... |
| Becky: ...using our learning system. |
| Peter: Alright. Let’s get into the first way: Shadowing... also known as repeating the conversations that you hear. |
| Becky: Professional interpreters are trained in this method, and listeners.... |
| Peter: ...this is one method you can use right now! When you’re listening to a lesson... |
| Becky: ...try to repeat the conversations you hear. And if it’s too challenging, read along first with the line-by-line dialogue. |
| Peter: But the magic here is that you master pronunciation and improve your reaction speed. |
| Becky: ..meaning you can speak quickly without thinking. |
| Peter: Listeners, be sure to try shadowing the conversations in our lessons. |
| Becky: The second way is to record yourself and compare yourself with native speakers. |
| Peter: Right. Being able to hear your pronunciation and theirs side-by-side is very useful. |
| Becky: You can instantly hear the difference and correct yourself. |
| Peter: By the way, you can do this easily with our Voice Recording Tool, which you’ll find in the Line-by-Line dialogues. |
| Becky: So, you can record the lines you hear in the conversations... |
| Peter: ...hear the native version... |
| Becky: And adjust until you’re perfect! |
| Peter: You’ll find the Line-by-Line dialogue and the recorder on every lesson in our learning system! |
| Becky: And the third way includes our brand new feature for Premium PLUS. |
| Peter: That’s right. It’s having an actual teacher listen to you and correct your speech! |
| Becky: So with Premium PLUS My Teacher, you can record yourself... |
| Peter: ...for example, doing a self-introduction, reading out a shopping list, making a speech — or anything else you want, up to 2 minutes in length... |
| Becky: ...and send it over to your teacher. He or she will analyze it and tell you how to improve. |
| Peter: Which means you have an actual native speaker telling you how to talk like a native speaker! |
| Becky: And your teacher can send a perfect example for you to shadow. |
| Peter: So listeners, if you want to put these methods to use with all of our best lessons... |
| Becky: ..and also unlock study tools like the voice recorder, the line-by-line dialogue... |
| Peter: ...OR get your own teacher and access to the new Premium PLUS My Teacher... |
| Becky: Here’s a quick 20% discount on Premium and Premium PLUS. |
