SPEAK ENGLISH FLUENTLY | 1 Simple Rule That Will Help You Speak English More Fluently Today

hey in english there is a very simple english rule that every native english speaker learns in middle school high school and even college this simple english rule explains the power of the number three you see when i was in middle school in high school and college my english teachers always emphasized the importance of providing enough support for my thoughts ideas and opinions by giving three details three examples or three reasons and this number three is what helps me sound like a native english speaker and speak english fluently and today i am going to teach you this simple rule of threes are you ready well then i am teacher tiffany let's jump right in all right so the simple rule of threes we're going to start off with part number one part one of this rule is the three details part you see the first part of this rule focuses on the important details of the topic subject or person you are discussing in other words you want to help your listener visualize what you are talking about you want to give them more information which will help them understand and also help them to realize wow you are fluent in english so what about a real life situation here we go we're in this coffee shop we see people making coffee we see food on the table how would we talk about this situation well the topic is tell me about your favorite coffee shop and in response i could say my favorite coffee shop is starbucks now here's the truth that is a good answer i told you what my favorite coffee shop is but remember we're using the rule of threes the same rule i learned in school so if we're using the rule of threes how can we give more details let's check it out so we're going back to the coffee shop now if i give detail number one it's very spacious that is a fact or a detail detail number two they sell a wide variety of food and drinks once again a fact or a detail and detail number three they play ambient music that is also a fact or a detail so you see what's happening as soon as i mentioned a wide variety of food and drinks i mentioned ambient music and i said that it's spacious suddenly in the brain in the mind of the listener a picture starts to be created that is when again the listener starts to feel like you're speaking fluently because they can connect so having these details how would we answer and give a fluent response here we go speaking english fluently using the three details my favorite coffee shop is starbucks the one not too far from my house is very spacious there is enough seating in the starbucks for about 30 to 45 people it sells a wide variety of food and drinks ah one other unique thing about starbucks is that the managers always have ambient music playing in the background now you know that response was a fluent english response you were able to understand everything i said and you have a picture in your mind now i want to explain a few words and expressions very quickly we have spacious wide variety and ambient so very quickly i want to explain how to use these words in real life so we're going to go to here's what we're going to do that came out fast the first one is spacious so after me spacious excellent one more time spacious very good now this word can be tricky i want to remind you too if you haven't already downloaded the english with tiffany app download it now because i have a very good pronunciation course within the app you can download it for free right now and it will help you with pronunciation some words just like spacious are kind of tricky so what does the word spacious mean this means having or giving enough space or room vast extensive in other words very large or big so i said the coffee shop that's my favorite starbucks is very spacious it's large or big we say spacious in english now the next expression that came up right here wide variety wide variety so let me explain what this expression means it's a group of things that are very different from each other diverse group of things so you saw in the video let me go back and show you from the video there were many different types of food and drink being served at the coffee shop you see some popcorn some broccoli some bread many different things are available at the coffee shop so that is exactly why we used wide variety all right okay so last time again wide variety excellent all right now the last one i want to explain was at the very end ambient good ambient excellent now ambient this word just means creating a relaxing atmosphere think about it when you walk into a coffee shop or a store and they have music playing in the background and all of a sudden you just feel relaxed we say they are playing ambient music makes sense right okay so again now using the three details which is part number one of this three simple rule we have all of the information we understand now how to give our response and sound like a native english speaker this is part one of the rule of threes now i want us to take a look at part number two part number two involves three examples the second part of this rule focuses on examples of the topic subject or person you are discussing in other words you want to help your listener understand more by giving them real life example situations now this part of the rule of threes is very useful because the person will immediately connect with a real life situation or experience so let's say for example we're looking at this situation we see a man and it looks like he's trying to lift weights and there's a trainer near him so if the topic was how are you liking your personal trainer i could give a simple response i'll be honest with you my personal trainer makes me go hard every workout but i really like him so again i've answered the question but we now need to use the rule of threes part two giving three examples remember that number three so let's give examples now i said that i like him but he makes ah me go hard every workout the guy said that example number one on the first day of training he made me do a 45 minute circuit workout that included running squats weight lifting and push-ups now immediately you can imagine that situation like whoa that's a lot to do in one workout giving you a real life example real life situation now what about example two ah when i'm sore he tells me to push through the pain and then makes me go harder another real life example and finally example number three if i complain he doubles my workout regimen for the rest of the week so now we've organized our thoughts and we have three examples again the rule of threes part two is three examples so how would we speak fluently using these examples in our response let's take a look here we go if i gave a response for this situation i'll be honest with you my personal trainer makes me go hard every workout but i really like him on the first day of training he made me do a 45 minute circuit workout that included running squats weight lifting and push-ups after that workout my entire body was screaming but instead of letting me rest when i'm sore he tells me to push through the pain and then makes me go harder if i complain he doubles my workout regimen for the rest of the week now what did you notice yes i gave a fluent english response but because i showed you how i organized my thoughts how i was able to come up with this long answer it makes more sense using the rule of threes i gave three simple examples to prove how i feel about my personal trainer or how this man feels about his personal trainer makes sense right three simple examples now let me explain some of the words that popped up and some of the expressions the first expression was go hard let me explain what this means go hard now go hard just means to work hard or to do something with intensity you're not sitting there if you're jumping rope just relaxing no you're jumping rope really fast you are going hard it means to put great effort into something usually physical exercise in english we say go hard now the next one in this response was circuit workout what does that mean circuit workout now a circuit workout or circuit training is a combination of six or more exercises performed with short rest periods between them or either excuse me for either a set number of repetitions or a prescribed amount of time so let me explain i have used this when i've worked out at the gym i would go to the gym i'd have my jump rope i would do push-ups sit-ups then i would run in place and then i'd add two other exercises and i would do this in rotation in between jumping rope and doing push-ups i would rest for 30 seconds this was my circuit workout or my circuit training maybe you enjoy doing circuit workouts when you go to the gym alright so again after me circuit workout excellent very good very good all right now the next one that popped up was right here body was screaming how does your body scream let me explain let me explain so your body was screaming this means that your body is in a lot of pain and extremely sore think about it after you work out at the gym maybe you're working out on the treadmill and you're running hard and then you have to go and lift some weights and your body will start being in excruciating pain we can say my body was screaming makes sense right again a natural expression you can use today to sound more natural all right more like a native english speaker now i have three more i want to explain to you these three again came from the last portion push through the pain doubles and regimen so let me explain these three to you very quickly push through the pain this just means to keep going even though something hurts even though your body is screaming you don't stop you keep going we say push through the pain push through it don't stop all right here's the next one double now this just means to become twice as much or as many or to make something twice as much or as many remember in this response right here he said if i complain he doubles my workout regimen which means he makes him do twice as much in english we say double now what about this regimen what does regimen mean regimen is any set of rules about food and exercise that someone follows especially in order to improve their health it's basically a plan or a schedule you follow for example i enjoy food as you all know last week i taught you foodie i am a foodie but i also want to stay healthy so i eat breakfast at a certain time of the day i eat lunch at a certain time of the day and i eat dinner try to eat dinner before 6 p.m every day this is my i say my food regimen what time i eat and also what i eat i try not to eat lots of sweets i try to eat healthier foods so again my health regimen or the food that i eat we say regimen in english all right okay so again we see our response speaking english fluently using three examples explaining how his trainer treats him and how his exercise regimen is pretty difficult but what about the third part of this very useful rule the rule of threes here's the third part three reasons now the third part of this rule focuses on giving specific reasons for your ideas on the topic subject or person you are discussing in other words you want to help your listener understand your thought process and how you developed your idea this is a very important part of this rule you know i've had thousands upon thousands of students during my time as a teacher and many of them knew what their idea was they had an opinion but when i asked them why um i don't know why teacher they had a hard time giving me the reasons to support their thoughts or ideas but remember what i said earlier this is a rule that teachers in middle school high school and college emphasize for native english speakers so you must use this rule so for that student for those students i also try to emphasize the importance of giving three reasons here we go let's look at a real situation we see a mother hugging her daughter so the topic would be do you think it is important for parents to hug their children often well my response is simple oh yes in my opinion parents should hug their children multiple times a day now that literally is my opinion but i can't stop there i need to give reasons part three of the rule of threes to support my answer so here we go reason number one a scientific study proved that holding children actually increases brain development reason number two hugging creates a strong bond between parents and their children and finally reason number three hugging also helps children know that they are loved which leads to more self-confidence so again my opinion has not changed but now i have given three reasons to support my opinion to help you understand how i developed or came to my idea or opinion so what would this look like in a fluent english response here we go yes in my opinion parents should hug their children multiple times a day recently i read a scientific study that proved that holding children actually increases brain development on top of that hugging creates a strong bond between parents and their children finally hugging also helps children know that they are loved which leads to more self-confidence so all i did i used my three reasons again the same three reasons i showed you underneath my response and these reasons following the rule of threes eventually turned into a fluent english response now you'll see there are three expressions and vocabulary words and i want to explain them to you very quickly the first one is prove now prove just means to demonstrate or to be the specified thing by evidence or argument to show that something is true so in other words when you say i'm proving something it just means you're showing the truth of something you're giving a support that will prove something is real that will show something is real we say prove in english and the other word the other expression was on top of that look right here i said on top of that hugging creates a strong bond well when you use on top of that you're just saying additionally furthermore in addition to something so i want to add another idea another reason another point to support my idea we say on top of that and finally we have this one right here strong bond again creates a strong bond between parents and their children well a strong bond a bond between people is a strong feeling of friendship love or shared beliefs and experiences that unite them so we say bond or strong bond in english think about people you are connected with people that you love and want to be around you have a strong bond with those individuals so again we were able to give a very fluent english response to this topic should parents hug their children using part three of the simple rule of threes giving the reasons so once again i hope you remember just like my teachers taught me all throughout my school's time my school time provide enough support for your thoughts ideas and opinions by giving three details three examples or three reasons i really hope you enjoyed this week's lesson i hope you apply the rule of threes and remember you can speak english fluently all you have to do is learn the rules and learn how to think in english like a native english speaker i will see you next week but as always remember to speak english you still there you know what time it is it's story time eight i said it's story time all right so today i taught you the rule of threes and toward the end i showed you an example of a mother hugging her child so i want to tell you a story about my niece now many of you have heard me talk about my nieces and how much i love them i love being an auntie but my youngest niece so my mom she actually babysat my youngest niece for about two years from the time she was two years old all the way up until she was four years old so she was at my house every day every day of the week and there's something she did on a regular basis as soon as she arrived at our house again i would be working in my office she would ask my mom she called my mom gaming grandma but gami gamie can i go see titi my mom would say yes and she'd run up the stairs knock on my door and i'd say come in and she would run to me and give me the biggest hug and kiss now this happened every single day from the time she was two years old all the way up until she's four years old now she's in school she's in kindergarten pre-k right now she's five and it created this strong bond between my youngest niece and i again i'm close to all of my nieces but my youngest niece because every morning in her brain she was going to get a huge hug a big hug from her auntie she looked forward to it now fast forward to a few weeks ago now she's five years old she doesn't come here every day and she had come over to visit with her sister and my sister with her mom which is my sister and then my brother-in-law the whole family came over and with her older sister so my brother-in-law my sister and the two kids were here and she had come up to my room gave me a hug gave me a kiss and she was talking to me and so i said hey munchkin i call her munchkin do you want to go on a walk with tt i needed to go take a walk to take a break from work and she immediately said yes i said okay let's go and she usually says yes whenever i ask her to go on a walk with me as we were walking down the stairs to go outside on the walk she said titi i said yes munchkin i wonder why i always say yes whenever you ask me to go on a walk i immediately say yes i said yeah you do and i was just fascinated by this five-year-old thinking logically about the situation but then she said something she said you know tt i guess it's because i love you so much and when i say my heart burst i said munchkin i love you too and i gave her a big hug and a kiss that moment will forever be imprinted in my mind and on my heart this five-year-old again for two years straight every weekday morning would come upstairs i'd give her the biggest hug and the biggest kiss and there was a strong bond created so much so that at the age of five she said tt i just love you so much so my nieces bring so much joy to me but i wanted to let you guys know that story because there's a strong bond that was created because of hugs that were given and kisses that were also given so if you have someone in your life your nieces maybe nephews or your own children even your spouse give someone a hug today and let them know how much you love them alright guys i hope you enjoyed today's lesson and today's story i will see you next week please remember to subscribe remember so that you can also get
