We are living in a generation where English is a priority to get you hired, nobody can deny that, when you apply for a job English language is always listed in the requirements. In our country almost everybody learns English or goes to private school some time in their life, some of them pull it off but most of them fail at it. You sometimes encounter a student who has been going to private school for many years and that student can’t still speak English fluently, therefore what is wrong? A lot of things are wrong with the system that we use to teach English and also the students themselves are not fully committed to learning the language, they mostly want to learn to speak a language overnight and it doesn’t work that way. This book is intended to those who already learned English but at the same time have a problem with speaking faster and more like a native. A lot of my friends and colleagues asked me several times how I learnt English like a native in an environment where English is not spoken and how it was possible for me to sound more like a native. This book is my answer to them, in this book I summarize the steps I followed over the years to learn to speak English faster, effortlessly and fluently. This book is step by step guide and it is based on how I managed to speak better English than most of private school students. This book is not for teachers only it is for you, the student who wants to master spoken English. As you probably can imagine learning a language in an environment where that certain language is not spoken is certainly very complicated, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to make it happen, it takes a lot more time than it can take to anyone who is in an environment where that specific language is spoken. Some of us believe that they can’t learn to speak English naturally in Somalia but that is something untrue. The coming chapters will equip you all you need to do in order to speak English automatically just as you do in Somali language. Make sure you follow them and I assure you they will save sometime for you and you will see yourself speaking better English in no time, it is a proven method used by me and some of my friends who also speak English just like native speakers therefore all you need to do is to implement them on a regular basis and follow one step at a time. As Vince Delmonte (an entrepreneur) and successful author says FOCUS stands for “focus one course until successful” and I love that. You don’t need to do a lot of things at one time; they call this “multitasking”. Some people might see multitasking as a strength but it is obvious that you can do a task better when you do it alone and it becomes easy for you to complete that task in a short period of time. The way the chapters are sequenced in this book is exactly the way I followed to be able to speak English fluently. Each chapter is placed in its position carefully by basing them on how the writer implemented them in his journey of learning to master spoken English. If you follow this step by step guidance of mastering spoken English, I guarantee that you will end up speaking English automatically, the words will come out of your mouth instantly and you will wonder how everything will come together perfectly. If you have learned English for years and you still can’t speak fluently, this book is your go to book and it will save you plenty of time by allowing you to speak English in a short period of time. Many students have asked me; what is the best to way to master spoken English? My answer is this quote by F.J Noonan, a language teacher, and he said while giving advice on how to improve spoken English, “I suggest that you will acquire language best when you study in such a way that you 1) listen to large amounts of comprehensible input, 2) have opportunities to use the target language to communicate with others, and 3) support your learning with some grammatical learning (focused on making input comprehensible and developing awareness) (Noonan). The book will revolve around these three, yet vital strategies. Chapter one focus on the third tip which is learning grammar to comprehend and create awareness and we will discuss the other techniques in later chapters. Therefore, follow the steps as they are listed in the chapters respectively and I am sure you will get most out of them.
