Casual Talk — Real Fluency Guide

Practice saying these sentences aloud, or whisper if you cannot say aloud. Make sure your tongue moves. Once you are done with one set, repeat it. Do this three times before moving to the next set. Go through the rest of the lessons, one each day. Slowly, these phrases will get imprinted into your tongue's muscle memory and your brain. You will start noticing that you can recall them easily whenever the situation arises.
