Want to know how to speak good English? This free article and video will show you how to speak awesome sounding English at an advanced level. Fantastic English that people love to listen to means knowing more than than just words and grammar. Quite a lot more, in fact.

Imagine a pile of car parts

You’ve got gears, bits of metal and glass. Springs and oil. But it looks nothing like a car yet... you can't drive it. You can't sit in it. And it's certainly not going to impress any girls. But if you have the right parts AND know how to assemble them, then−and only then−you can create a car. And of course, you can make different kinds of car depending on the quality of the parts you have, as well your own knowledge, thinking, values and preferences.

But it lacks elegance, depth and doesn't make you an interested person to talk to. This shouldn't be your focus as an advanced speaker. See, while native speakers don't care much about your grammar or vocabulary mistakes... but they do care about the depth and the quality of the conversation they have with you.
