 One of the most common questions my students ask me is, How can I speak English more like a native speaker? Marcos from Brazil writes, I always think in my native language and translate to English in my head. But then my sentences are not correct or not natural. Can you help me solve this problem? Well, one thing that can really help you speak more fluently is learning collocations. What are collocations? Collocations are typical or common combinations of words that native speakers use together. Here are some simple examples. We say, take a picture. Not, do a picture or make a picture. We say, a quick shower. Not, a fast shower. There's really no difference between quick and fast. But it sounds more natural to say a quick shower. When you make mistakes with collocations, the other person will usually understand you, but your English won't sound natural because it's different from how a native speaker would talk. If you want to improve your fluency and talk more like a native English speaker, you'll love the new e-book, 1000 English Collocations in 10 minutes a day. This book will teach you typical collocations organized into 50 topics.
