Hello! Welcome to this lesson https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/ on sounding truly fluent https://adeptenglish.com/english/fluency/ in British English. I'm Hilary, and today we're diving into something that could transform your speaking straight away. Struggling to sound fluent and natural in English, even when you know loads of vocabulary? It's frustrating, isn't it? Well, groundbreaking research has revealed a fascinating secret: the key to native-like fluency isn't buried in complex words at all. No, it's about learning those common, everyday phrases that British speakers use automatically, without even thinking.

Gosh, imagine that! In just a bit, we'll get into the science behind this, and I'll share some key tactics to help you boost your "perceived fluency" right away. You'll sound more confident and competent in any conversation—whether it's a casual chat or something more formal. So, what are we covering exactly? Let's break it down: first, learning essential "multi-word sequences", or MWS for short, that's chunks of language that native speakers rattle off effortlessly. Then, we'll look at high-frequency British phrases perfect for work and social interactions. And finally, how to weave these language chunks into your speech so you talk more quickly, with fewer pauses and hesitations.
