| Want to finally start speaking in your target language? | 
| In this guide, you'll discover the Top 7 Ways to practice speaking —on your own — with our lessons. | 
| Let’s begin! | 
| Number one: Shadowing | 
| Shadowing is a proven learning technique where all you do is.. repeat what you hear, in order to practice speaking. | 
| So, access any Audio or Video lesson on the site, and press the play button to start. | 
| Then, as you listen or watch, just repeat the conversations. Or even easier, read along, out loud, with the dialog section. The script is right there in front of you. | 
| With our lessons, you can master entire conversations just like that. | 
| Number two: Read out loud. | 
| I just mentioned it but reading out loud is another powerful tactic... and deserves its own mention. | 
| With every lesson, you get written, word-for-word transcripts and translations. | 
| So, as you play the lesson, read the dialog out loud as you hear it. | 
| Why? By reading out loud, you’re also practicing your speaking skills. | 
| You can do this with the lesson notes... | 
| ...the lesson transcript... | 
| ...or the dialog tool. | 
| With the dialog tool, you can listen to each line again and again | 
| ...and repeat out loud until you master them all completely. | 
| Number three: Speed up your reading to speed up your speaking | 
| Fact: Being able to speak without thinking is a sign of language mastery. | 
| If you’re talking to a native and can respond quickly, they’ll assume that you’re fairly fluent. | 
| How can you do this? | 
| When you read... out loud, try increasing your speed, every time. | 
| So, start by reading with the Dialog tool. | 
| If you’re like most learners, you’ll read the first line slowly. | 
| That’s because you’re still getting used to the words – which is okay. | 
| Re-read it. On your second try, you know most of the words and you’ll read a little faster... | 
| Re-read it again. On your third try, you’ll be even faster - at a native speaker’s speed. | 
| And being able to read these phrases, out loud and fast... | 
| ...will help you speak fast. | 
| Number four: Record and compare yourself with native speakers | 
| In order to sound like a native speaker... you must imitate native speakers. | 
| So, here's how. Access the voice recorder | 
| ...which is in the Dialog study tool in every lesson.... | 
| Click on the microphone icon, listen to the native speaker’s audio... | 
| ...and then record yourself. | 
| You can then compare the two recordings side by side... | 
| ...and practice and try again and again until you perfect your pronunciation. | 
| Number five: Get feedback from our Premium PLUS teacher | 
| ...If you're learning by yourself and don't have access to real teachers... | 
| Then, you can always get feedback from our Premium PLUS teachers. | 
| With the My Teacher tool, you can record yourself speaking... | 
| ...and send the audio file to the teacher. | 
| They will review it and tell you what to improve and how. That's it. | 
| Number six: Level up your speaking with Premium PLUS Assignments | 
| With Premium PLUS... | 
| You can also get assignments that cover reading, writing, listening, and even speaking from your teacher. | 
| These assignments can be tailored to your goals and needs. | 
| You get a new one every week... Or anytime you are ready for a new one. |
