  • hello everybody it is David Claussen and I'm doing another video on to speak English fluently

  • because I get so many questions about it

  • and I'm always looking for new programs

  • and software and technology to help you and I found two free ones

  • to help you out

  • in another article I made it in English speaking practice I showed you in this video

  • and you may want to go to my web site to see it

  • I teach you about an audio program a free one

  • called audacity

  • that you can use

  • and I found

  • a couple more to help you with

  • speaking fluently what you'll do first go to google

  • and type in chrome web store

  • I use the browser called chrome because it goes faster with

  • google but you should be able to find this on fire fox or Internet explorer or another browser

  • OK when you're in the chrome web store first type in select

  • and speak

  • and it is this program right here

  • you will click over here

  • it will look like this

  • add to chrome

  • I have it so that's why this is green

  • then at the chrome web store

  • type in Dictanote

  • and you will click that and add it

  • to your browser

  • next

  • you will make another new window

  • so I will click google and open new window

  • and from that new window I click new tab

  • and there is Dictanote and I click that

  • and what Dictanote does

  • is it will record your voice

  • so this microphone

  • right here I click that

  • hello will you understand me

  • and there

  • it

  • types out what you

  • just said

  • and now

  • once you have the Dictanote, you're gonna move it over

  • so I'll move this over

  • and then I will click my other browser

  • and then the browser you move that over

  • and now you have the two side by side

  • and what you do is find an article

  • that you like because

  • remember you want to do something you like

  • I found one just on keystone resort it's skiing it's close to where we live in Colorado

  • but do it on anything sports or

  • traveling or business or entertainment whatever you like, it doesn't matter

  • and what you'll do is

  • you find an area

  • of the article

  • and then in chrome you click select and speak

  • and select and speak will

  • read whatever you select to you, so let me show you so I'm gonna select this

  • let's just go to right

  • here

  • then I click here and I click Select and Speak

  • let me do that again

  • what's cool about that, let me stop that

  • is that

  • you click this options and you can change the speed

  • so if that is too fast I can slow it down

  • and listen to this 12345 I can speed it up here all the way to the end

  • that's too fast

  • that's not good, so you can put the speed wherever you want

  • and you can hear

  • what you select now

  • you go over to

  • Dictanote

  • and then you can practice your English

  • by typing so I will do that

  • keystone consists of three mountains named

  • and there it writes it you can see that it wrote it

  • so it's a great way to practice

  • plus you can take

  • what you said in here and type it out and put it into a google document or wherever you want

  • let's try a couple more so you get an idea

  • so I will select

  • I will go up to Select and Speak and click it

  • and you can hear it there now is a computer voice

  • so it's not as good but

  • it's good enough if you practice

  • you will get more and more fluent it's all about listening

  • by doing this you actually train your mouth like

  • a native speaker so let's try it in Dictanote, so here we go so here

  • and there it writes it out now it missed a couple things

  • and so it's not the best

  • but it's a way a for you to practice

  • let's say you want to get better at just some basic English these are the hundred most important words

  • you can just play with that

  • so let's try this about so I click the microphone

  • about

  • all

  • many more

  • so it's a way you can use it for

  • complicated articles

  • and basic English

  • so it's something that's free

  • and the two programs are Dictanote

  • and select and speak

  • and those two tools if you do 5 minutes each day

  • that's really gonna help you speak more

  • fluently

  • so I will find many more free programs for you in the future
