Improving Speaking Skills Through Reading

If you mumble, stutter, skip over your words, or repeat the same

words like "like" and "bro," this video is for you.

You need to learn how to speak or repair your speaking 'cause you already

know how

to speak. But because of social anxiety

and because you're thinking too much, you

can't get your words out appropriately.

And due to social media and video games, meaning you're doom scrolling or playing

too much Call of Duty, you can't think appropriately anymore.

So we need to get this back together.

What you're gonna do is you're gonna start reading

consistently.

You can't read one single book and repair your speaking.

You just have to read more consistently because what'll happen

is as you're reading

the book, the sentences and the paragraphs that go,

that go through your head, it's

gonna teach you how to speak it more appropriately.

'Cause what'll happen is you won't even notice it.

Once you're standing in front of somebody, your words will come out more fluidly

just from reading more often. That's the thing.

So once you start doing this probably five, ten, fifteen minutes a day, and you

also write. So what that means is you sit down,

you either write your thoughts, you

write about what you think about what you're reading,

or maybe you write down some

sort of strategy about-- for something that you're trying to build.

You gotta also get your thoughts from within your head onto a piece of paper.

Now, you may think this is, like, not necessary.

Trust me, you'll notice it later on. It's necessary.

So you start doing reading, and you start doing writing,

and you have less social

media and less video games. And then over time, what you'll notice

is your speaking

will be much more concise, and you'll be much more confident on what

you wanna say.

Now, here's the thing. I'm only saying this because I know what

it's like when you

have social anxiety or when you can't get your words out

appropriately.

So then you see somebody where it's like they're trying to get their point out, but

they can't, and they just stop. Like, they're frozen/paralyzed because they're

like, "Uh, I feel really nervous/I don't know how to

get this out appropriately.

I don't know how to word myself, so now I gotta stop.

Now the person's looking at me," and then the whole conversation just falls

apart.

Yeah, I don't want that to happen to you.

So I want you to have some confidence and some integrity,

and the only way you can

do that is through reading and through writing. Fix it.
