Hello, my dear students!

 I'm Georgiana, founder of SpeakEnglishPodcast.com.
My mission is to help YOU to speak English fluently and confidently.

• Today I'll talk about correction when speaking English and how it affects your fluency.
• Later you'll practice your speaking with a funny mini story.

Let's start!

A student asked me this question not long ago:

"Is it effective to be corrected when you speak?"

Let's say you're an English student and you're trying to practice your speaking. Your first idea is to hire a tutor who will correct all your mistakes.

At first, it seems like a great idea to be corrected. Every time you make a mistake, the tutor will tell you the correct pronunciation, and that's how you'll learn to speak correctly. 

Yet, based on my vast experience as an English teacher I must be honest with you and tell you that this approach isn't practical. In fact, overcorrection prevents you from developing fluency.
