The formula looks complicated, but there are only six steps you need to follow.
Follow the steps when you study, and you can become a fluent English speaker
very quickly.

You should practice saying this sentence at least five times, before continuing.

In English there are a lot of morphs. For now, let's just practice Had-jyer.....had-

WARNING: If you do it wrong, nobody will understand you. But if you do it right,
you can have Fluent English pronunciation.
Constructions
Using constructions will help you communicate fluently, without having to think
about grammar. Let's try one.
Do you hear that "j" sound? Listen again: Did-jya A construction is a fill-in-the-
blank phrase. Let's use a construction to master "did-jya".
Did-jya ________?
Did-jya ________? (eat, find it, go, call her, win, buy it)
You should practice these until you can say them all very fast without looking.

Construction Branching
Step 3 of the formula is Construction Branching. I teach all of my students
Construction Branching because it lets you speak fluently, and express yourself,
without having to stop and think about grammar.
Did-jya call _____? (Mom, Dad, your boss, your wife, the airline)
Fluency-Formula-Example-8.mp3
Let's try adding "buy"...
Did-jya buy ______? (the car, some wine, a book, the tickets)

You can continue to add more and more to the sentence. It's a great way to
master long sentence patterns, so you don't have to think about grammar.
Reduction Grouping
The fourth step of the Fluency Formula is Reduction Grouping. With reduction
grouping, you can say long sentences, using Fluent English pronunciation.
You probably know what a contraction is. This is when two words like "I am"
become "I'm", or "can not" becomes "can't."
For example: The phrase "want to" in Fluent English sounds like, "wanna."
I'm going to McDonalds. Do you w anna come with me? (w an t to come with me)

If you want to understand native speakers, and talk like a native speaker you
must master reductions.
If you've been studying Learner's English, you probably pronounce this phrase
like this: "Did you want to?"
Fluency-Formula-Example-11.mp3
Fluency-Formula-Example-12.mp3
Did-jya wanna ______? (come over, have lunch, see me, go out tonight,
talk to her)

First, you separate a sentence into two parts, just the vowels, and just the
consonants. Then, practice each part.
Fluency-Formula-Example-14.mp3
Consonants:
wah - nah - gah - dah
Try to say it faster and faster, like this: wah - nah - gah - dah
Fluency-Formula-Example-15.mp3
Vowels
ah - uh - oh - uh

This is what piano players do when they want to master a difficult piece of
music. They practice the left and right hand parts separately. Then, they play
both parts together. This makes something difficult, easier to do, and it will help
you with your fluency.
First, you have to find the rhythm of a phrase. After that, you use a metronome to
guide your rhythm when you speak. You gradually increase the tempo on the
metronome, and try speaking along with it.
It's difficult to show you the entire exercise in this text document, so I made a video
that is all about Rhythmic Acceleration. I'll send that to you in a couple days.
Ok, that was the final step. Use the Fluency Formula because, as you know, English is
the language of business and entertainment all over the world.
Becoming fluent in English is one of the most important changes you can make in your
life, so I'm glad I am able to help you!
I'll soon be sending you more information on these techniques, so please look out for
my emails!
Thanks for watching, and remember my motto: Study Fluent English. Practice Fluent
English. Speak Fluent English.
