Speaking, on the other hand, requires not only comprehension but also the ability to form sentences, use grammar and vocabulary correctly, and pronounce words accurately. In today’s episode, we discuss ONE possible reason for this problem and what you can do about it.

    Hi Ethen/Thiago,

    Thanks for this another wonderful podcast, well to come to the point the other practical exercises I am following to improvise myself is that these days in my job I myself taking initiatives to present some topics related to my job in that way I am not only educating my fellow colleagues and earning their appreciation but it also helping me to refresh my memory on those topics and boost my confidence as a english presenter. So in a way killing two birds with one stone.
