2410 - How to Be Concise Part 1: Direct Your Message

In this episode of All Ears English, Lindsay and Aubrey introduce a three-part series on how to be concise in English, a skill they argue is vital for both everyday conversations and career success. They discuss how native speakers often struggle with being long-winded, and they outline the series: Part one focuses on being concise with the message itself, part two on vocabulary, and part three on grammar. They emphasize the importance of planning ahead, knowing the audience, and avoiding TMI (too much information) to maintain listener engagement and build stronger connections. They provide practical tips, such as recording oneself speaking and seeking feedback, and share phrases to hook the audience and highlight the relevance of the message.
