This is a strategy which I had later developed that brought my fluency to the next level – native. I called it Open Throat.
When practicing, open your throat, talk with your diaphragm, and bring the energy from your stomach.
The energy flow and the way of speaking make a huge difference. To do this, you must open your throat, let the air flow through, and talk with energy from your stomach. You should feel your stomach tighten when you talk.
So bring your energy up all the way from your stomach, let the air flow from your lungs through your throat, and talk with your throat open.
After my daughter joined her school chorus class, she told me that her chorus teacher taught the class the following:
“Open throat!”
Have you ever seen anyone sing with their throat? In other words, singing like that is called singing with a “Chicken Throat.” It's far from good. How do you like that?
Are you too nervous to speak English? Are you too shy to speak English? Are you using Chicken Throat to speak English because you're nervous or shy, because you're afraid you'll make mistakes so others may laugh at you?
Listen to me: English is a foreign language to you anyway. Making mistakes speaking a foreign language is very normal! Instead, open your throat to speak English. Open your throat and use Myfluentenglish formula to make you speak English like a native! Do that for six months, and then, when you speak like me, when you speak English like a native, and even native speakers are scare of you, who is going to laugh at you?
