Now the fastest way to increase your fluency is undoubtedly, to live in an English-speaking country
当然，毫无疑问的是提升流利度的最快方式就是住在说英语的国家，
where you're surrounded by it, where you can immerse yourself
就可以被英语所包围，让自己沉浸其中，
but if you haven't got that opportunity to do that,
但是如果你没有这样的机会的话，
well the next best thing is to surround yourself with English through courses, through programs, through communities.
我们可以退而求其次，通过上课、节目和社群来让自己被英语所包围。
Now if you really want to improve your fluency in a particular area,
如果你真的想要提升自己在某个领域的流畅度的话，
then find a tutor to work with you and specifically ask them to practise roleplays.
那就找一个老师和你一起，尤其是要让他们和你进行角色扮演。
Now a roleplay is when you pretend that you're in a particular situation.
角色扮演就是你假装在某个特定的情境之下。
It's like you're acting, you pretend that you're doing something, you're speaking the English that you would need to use in that situation.
就像是在表演，你假装自己在做某件事情，进行特定情境的英语对话。
Now my fiance Shah, did this brilliantly when we were studying in Spain.
我的未婚夫Shah在学习西班牙语的时候就做得很好。
All he really wanted to be able to do in Spanish was speak to the butchers at the markets
他就是想要用西班牙语来和小商贩对话，
about the jamon, the regions, the pigs, what they were fed, what problems the farmers faced - that kind of thing.
讨论一下火腿，地区，猪，饲料，农民面临着什么问题——就是这些。
He needed to know how to talk about very specific topics so he asked his tutor to roleplay with him.
他需要知道如何展开非常特定的话题，所以他让他的老师和他一起进行角色扮演。
She had to pretend that she was the butcher and have conversations with him about pigs and they practised again and again and again.
她要假装自己就是小贩子，和他讨论猪的话题，他们一直在这样进行训练。
His tutor was wonderful but I'm sure she thought he was crazy.
他的导师超级棒，但是我敢肯定她绝对觉得他疯了。
But after six weeks of practising, Shah went from being basically a beginner to being fluent in butcher Spanish which is completely hilarious
但是在六周的练习之后，Shah的西班牙小贩语言已经从入门者水平达到了流利水平，这听起来还挺好笑的，
but seriously, thinking about how this strategy could supercharge your English in a particular area, could be a really useful tool for you.
但是说实话，想一下这个策略真的能够迅速提升你在某一个领域的英语水平，这真的是一个非常有用的工具。
I mean you can apply this to any area.
我的意思是你可以把这个策略应用到任何的领域。

If you can focus on the English that you need to be fluent in and that is what you should be working towards, right?
如果你能专攻你需要变得流利的那部分英语的话，那就是你需要努力的方向，对吗？
So I guess what I'm trying to say is that shifting the way that you think about fluency can make it seem more achievable, right?
