in Quebec, which is a French-speaking province in Canada. I was nervous ahead of time because

had never spoken with a native speaker of French. In fact, before the trip, the only

people that I had spoken French with were my French teachers and the other students

from my French classes at college.

When I finally started speaking with native speakers of French in the town of Matane,

it was a thrilling experience. I found that because of the vocabulary and the grammar

that I had learned, I could speak without pausing very much at all.

Are you eager to speak English without stopping to search your mind for the vocabulary that

you need? You need to learn vocabulary so well that when it's time for you to use more

advanced words, you can use them fluently.

Take time now to read the article "5 Steps to Increasing Your English Vocabulary," which

is below this video. Also, in the comments at the bottom of the page, give an example

of a vocabulary word that you have learned recently along with a definition of the word

or an example sentence that uses the word.
