Telling a Personal Story Fluently | English Speaking Practice (Listen, Repeat & Shadow)

Telling a Personal Story Fluently | English Speaking Practice for Intermediate Learners Welcome back to Speak With Me English! Ever feel like your stories in English come out a little flat, just "and then this happened, and then this happened"? This lesson fixes that. Instead of a list of phrases to memorize, you'll follow one real, connected story, a chaotic morning rushing to a job interview, and inside it, practice six genuinely powerful techniques native speakers use to make any story feel alive. Listen, repeat, and shadow along at a natural speed, and by the end, you'll have real tools for telling your own stories more fluently and naturally. 📖 In this lesson, you'll practice: ✅ Setting the scene naturally ("So, this was back when...") ✅ Adding an important complication ("The thing is...") ✅ Moving through events smoothly, without "and then, and then" ("Next thing I know...") ✅ Sharing your feelings in the moment ("I remember thinking...") ✅ Building up to the most exciting part ("But here's the crazy part...") ✅ Closing with a natural reflection ("Looking back now...") ✅ A real, spontaneous conversation between two friends ✅ Long shadowing passages and one full final speaking challenge ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 01:45 The Story Begins 14:00 Connected Speaking 16:30 A Real Conversation 19:30 Long Shadowing Practice 23:30 Final Speaking Challenge 27:00 Ending 📌 Don't forget to LIKE this video, SHARE it with a friend learning English, and SUBSCRIBE to Speak With Me English for more speaking practice every week. 💬 Let us know in the comments: what's a personal story you'd love to be able to tell more fluently in English? #LearnEnglish #EnglishFluency #EnglishSpeakingPractice #ListenAndShadow #SpeakWithMeEnglish #StorytellingInEnglish
