The second part is devoted to connected speech patterns and helps you speak in phrases rather than separate words like beginners. The third part deals with natural flow of speech, intonation and sentence stress. It will help you to make your speech easy and interesting to listen to. Students can play audio tracks, listen, repeat, record themselves, and compare their pronunciation with the model. Three things this app will help you with: • Becoming fluent in English • Developing English intonation and sentence rhythm • Learning and practising idioms and colloquial expressions to sound more like a native English speaker Our recommendations to fluency in English: 1.

Because if your sounds are not clear people might not understand you. 2. The next step is to work on sentence stress, intonation and connected speech patterns to develop fluency.
