Here's a question from Mary.

That was Mary's question, but we also want your questions.

You can send us a question to learningenglish at bbc.co.uk.

But now, on to speaking fluency.

Let's go.

So, what does fluently mean?

Well, if you can speak fluently, you can speak easily without many pauses.

So, let's look at five ways you can speak English more fluently.

Learn informal expressions and practice using them.

For example, you could make a target of learning five a month.

Oh, it's really raining.

No, it's chucking it down.

How are you?

How's it going?

How's it going?

How's it going?

Hey, how's it going?

Use words like actually and basically.

They give you more time to think and they'll make you sound more fluent.

Basically, I don't want to go out while it's raining.

Oh, actually, I'll just go.

Yeah, bye.

Fluent speakers of English use the uh sound a lot.

We call it schwa and we also use linking to connect words together, like this.

A cup of tea.

A cup of tea.

A cup of tea.

A cup of tea.

Oh, that is a good cup of tea.

How are you?

How are you?

How are you?

Uh, uh, how are, how are, how are you?

How are you?

Practice everywhere.

Talk to people around you.

Sian, if you could have any superpower, what would it be?

Oh, that's a good question.

Or even talk to yourself while you're at home.

What are you doing?

You can also talk to yourself or other people on the phone.

So, I'm washing up.

This is a mug because I just had a coffee, but I have to wash a saucepan, a wooden spoon.

I have loads of washing up and I'm talking to myself to practice my English.

Use words like so, well, um.

English speakers use these all the time and they give you more time to think.

Um, I don't know.

Well, we could go to the park.

Yeah, so we just went to the park.

Um, well, no, it's really cold.

It's raining.

Actually, it's chucking it down.

That's all for now, but check below for more on this topic.

See you soon.
