Is Fluency More Important Than Accuracy In English?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you had to choose between fluency and accuracy in English, which would you choose? Speaking without hesitation, or speaking without mistakes?
Many people would probably choose fluency - but it's a little more complicated than that!
In this episode, I share my ideas on
- the 'deeper' reasons why fluency is often the main goal
- why some mistakes are more important than others
- two things you can do if you can't correct your mistakes
Vocabulary notes
dig deeper = find the deeper reasons for something
filter out = not hear / ignore
iron out = eliminate
