How do I speak classy English?

July 23, 2021 , by Dr Julian Northbrook
How do you sound classy when you speak English? Good question. Let's look at the dictionary definition: Classy: adjective Stylish and sophisticated. Speaking English well requires far more than just English. You’ve also got to have intelligent and interesting things to talk about. Knowledge. Stories to tell. Ultimately, no matter how fluent your English is… boring is boring. So it’s not about learning big, complicated words or rare grammar constructions. Instead, the first step is developing a stylish and classy personality (whatever that means to you, in your personal situation). Once you’ve got that, it’s all about communicating with other people in a natural, clear way. Hope that helps. I send free daily email tips to help you speak better English — you can get them by going here. Best, Julian Northbrook
