Hello, welcome to Go Natural English. Today we are going to talk about how to sound less robotic in English.

2
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:18,059
Well, yes, actually that was me trying to be a robot, but I find it really difficult and a little bit annoying.

3
00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:26,100
So if it's okay, I'm going to speak in a natural way and give you some tips for how to sound less robotic in English.

4
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:35,259
I have three quick tips for you. So, first of all, sounding robotic comes from translating in your mind.

5
00:00:35,380 --> 00:00:40,740
You're trying to translate from English to your native language, from your native language, translating back into English.

6
00:00:40,979 --> 00:00:49,140
And you're thinking too hard and your expression doesn't come through clearly because you haven't attached actual meaning to the English words yet.

7
00:00:49,140 --> 00:00:56,340
When you can attach meaning directly to the words in English, then you can start adding feeling to the words.

8
00:00:56,780 --> 00:01:01,960
With intonation, with stress, with even facial expressions and gestures.

9
00:01:02,619 --> 00:01:04,920
So that is how you sound less robotic.

10
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,519
You need to listen to a lot of natural English.

11
00:01:08,980 --> 00:01:14,180
Listen to the Go Natural English podcast on iTunes for iOS or Stitcher for Android.

12
00:01:14,180 --> 00:01:18,780
And that's a lot of good material and tips and a native speaker

13
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,939
talking so you can hear what it sounds like to use stress and intonation and

14
00:01:24,599 --> 00:01:30,260
You can listen to other materials to music the news stories movies TV

15
00:01:30,819 --> 00:01:37,340
All of that is all a great resource for you to listen to and to copy

16
00:01:38,099 --> 00:01:39,700
native English with

17
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:43,379
feeling okay, so sound less robotic by

18
00:01:43,379 --> 00:01:49,000
stopping all that translation in your mind start to attach meaning to English

19
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,340
directly and listen to a lot of English make sure that you understand and you're

20
00:01:55,340 --> 00:02:00,939
using a lot of intonation and stress to observe how other people other native

21
00:02:00,939 --> 00:02:04,760
speakers communicate and try to copy that I hope that this has been helpful
