Is there any book on swimming strokes or driving skill ? One has to author as many spoken English books as there are learners, because no two individuals can speak, listen or understand in the same way. Context and word combinations, popular in a region may be a taboo in another region. One should be fully aware of the culture of the region before uttering words combinations. There is an amusing anecdote for all. Some time back a popular brand of a soft drink (company) in a very popular country repeatedly released its slogan in mass media, taste the thunder , which means passing out gas (Flatulence), The brand was very popular in that country.
WHY THIS SITE FOR COMMUNICATIVE/SPOKEN ENGLISH TRAINING?
There are many sites available on this subject, all justify their existence, then what makes this site a unique one?
Language learning is a complex process, it is a tool of communication , it is different from the subject (Science, Economics etc.) learning. We do not recommend grammar approach, this will make the speech mechanical and robot like. Spoken sentences cannot be gauged with the grammar rules, for spoken sentences accompany emotions ,expressions,signals (body language) etc. some times silence too conveys something. Our approach is purely based on functional or practical grammar, we call it utility grammar. This approach is a usage based, we provide the basic structures which help the learners to generate their own sentences (we are not for memorization of dialogues, idioms,phrases etc. of a particular situation). We use plain language to avoid confusion. No two individuals can speak in same way (Though they are taught the same structures). The delivery of sentences depends on individual's personality, emotions ,experiences etc. Once the learner is familiar with the basic structure , he/she can switch over to idiomatic English or his/her own style at a later stage. Please do remember that ads and news headlines seldom follow grammar rules. The simple methodology used here will make you speak English on you own right now.
CAN ANYONE SPEAK ENGLISH WITH THE HELP OF THIS WRITTEN MATERIAL?
Surely the words in this written work are mute spectators,but they guide and direct you like a sign board on the carriage way/highway. We show you the direction, it is up to you to reach the destination, please do remember speed is important on the carriage way/highway (neither too slow nor too fast). This methodology will make you the master of yourself. The best learning is learning by self. Look at the dash board,you are on the carriage way/high way of your career, best wishes.
FIVE IMPORTANT TYPES OF SPOKEN SENTENCES (There are many, but I stress the following five)
1.This is a machine (Simple sentence/statement)
2.This is not a machine (Negative sentence)
3.Is this a machine? ('Yes/No' Question)
4.Is this not a machine?/Isn't this a machine?('yes/no'Negative question)
5.What is this? ('Wh' question)
6.Why is this not a machine?/.Why isn't this a machine? ('wh'-negative question)
The above five types of spoken sentences can be spoken in eight or more ways of utterance, (by changing stress tone body language etc.) culture also plays an important role in sentence formation. Slightest change in voice modulation/ facial expression/ body language gives different meaning of the same sentence.Punching words can be made soft and soft words can be made punching using the above technique.
Eight or more ways of uttering each of the above types
1. This is a machine. statement/declaration/information/truth/message
2.This is a machine?(stress on 'machine') Declarative question.
3.This is a machine! ( When it doesn't appear as machine) Exclamatory sentence.
4.This is a machine ? (When you are not satisfied with the machine) Angry statement.
5. This is a machine .( When the machine not assembled properly) Joke statement
6.This is a machine. (When you are not satisfied) Insulting statement
7.This is a machine. ( when the machine looks clumsy/improper)Complaint statement.
8. This is a machine . (Baby talk)) Childish talk.
In the same way we can change the other five types of spoken sentences into eight moods of utterance.
