      Hello Mr. Lyon. I've been following many of your tips for quite some time. Not for business since I only distribute newspapers, but because of my religious duty. I hold meetings and presentations in my Church. May I ask you what kind of vocabulary app would you recommend please? Thank you.

    I know there is already a recap at the end of the video, but I absorb information better when I write it down (plus I can also write down some thoughts and suggestions of my own). This is more like my personal recap. However, feel free to copy it down!
    1. *Build your vocabulary*
    - Do not use "fancy" words.
    - Find a word that helps people *understand* you; Make sure the word is precise and simple.
    - Limit yourself to *one* "fancy" word per conversation.
    - Read books and circle words that are *unfamiliar* to you. Then, look up the words on Google.
    - You can use a dictionary or a vocabulary app to help you.
    - Try to use the words you have learned in a sentence. Practice saying it a *few times a day*.
    2. *Explain complex ideas in plain language*
    - When you explain a complex idea, *do not* use technical terms (phrases that people use in a specific field).
    - Use words that the listener can *understand* , especially someone who is new to a topic.
    - Leave out any points that *do not* support the idea, but keep the important parts.
    - *Slow down* and prepare what you'd like to say ahead of time.
    - Repeat what you'd like to say in your head and make changes to it until it sounds smooth.
    3. *Support ideas with evidence*
    - After you state your main point, use examples, facts, or your experiences to *support* the point.
    - People will be more *convinced* and view you as trustworthy.
    4. *Explain both sides*
    - Mention the pros *and* cons of a view or topic. An example will be looking over your viewpoint and your opponent's viewpoint when you get to an argument and comparing them, instead of focusing on your own points.
    - This makes people see you as a careful thinker.
    5. *Answer questions directly*
    - When you are asked a question, try to answer in *two or three sentences*.
    - If the answer is *too short* , you may sound like you don't want to talk about it.
    - If the answer is *too long* , you may sound like you're rambling.
    - If you *do* have a lot to say, break it down into a back-and-forth conversation instead of one long monologue.
    - Doing this also makes the listener feel like they matter in the conversation.

    Hi Alex,
    As a student, articulating my speech is a challenge.
    When I presented to readers about my knowledge of a prompt, each one replied my speech was wordy and boring and may have additional questions. Regarding my knowledge, I tried to keep my sentences short as possible. When readers have a question that I am not able to articulate, I already know that I am going to hesitate and include filter words

    I hope to be more articulate in my native language someday. I’ve been focusing my energies primarily on English rather than my native language, which has caused me to be more fluent in that than my native language. I find that a little upsetting, since I need my native language much more than I need English. Hopefully I can improve my vocabulary to the extent that I will be able to converse with others in a manner that will put me in a greater light amongst my peers.
    Woah, it looks ridiculous when I try to be articulate. Lol.

    Speaking of dictionaries, oh boy. I remember those days with big, heavy & thick books. The problem with the book dictionary is that there is no sound. You rely on the symbols to figure out the pronunciation.
    Now, with the internet, not only can we hear the pronunciation but also different accents.

      If I think about it, I also like it when someone just gets to the point. If I'd like to hear the details after hearing the message, I'll ask for clarification. I need to follow my own rules and these 5 tips!
