100 - My new speaking approach In the past few weeks I made some conversation in English and I used an aggressive approach to the language. I tried to talk as fast as I could, but I realized that I am not ready yet. In fact, my error rate was really too high and I think that my interlocutors understood very little of what I was saying. To be able to speak at the speed I wanted to, I think it is mandatory to have developed an English mindset. What I am talking about is the ability to generate the sentences you want to say directly in your target language and not go through a translation process. Since I have not an English mindset yet, I will try a new approach from now on. I will spend more time thinking about what I want to say and how I want to do it. I hope to be more understandable, because it is what I consider the most important thing in a conversation. It does not matter if you need to take your time if the result will be great, while if you lose in quality in order to speak fast, then I do not think it is not convenient to do so.
