  • How to increase your verbal fluency: Do you remember a time when you were asked to make a presentation, say a few words in public, answer an interview question, or speak on a certain subject, and the right words wouldn’t flow?
    Instead of a river of words, all you could manage was a mere trickle of nonsense? Or worse, you suffered through a drought of silence.
    In this video, you will learn five ways to improve your verbal fluency, so that this won’t happen to you again.
    “Verbal fluency” is the cognitive function in our brain that facilitates information retrieval from memory.
    In simpler terms, verbal fluency is the ability to find the right words at the right time or in the right situation. And, it’s a great thing to have in abundance.
    It’s similar to a car. The more horsepower a car has, the faster it can go from 0 to 60. The more verbally fluent you are, the faster your brain can find the right words to speak, and the more ability you have to be eloquent.
    Simply put, verbal fluency is how much horsepower your brain has for verbal tasks.
    Learn how to increase and improve your verbal fluency aka your brain's verbal horsepower, so that you can increase your potential to become more eloquent than ever!

      Hi Katie,
      I have stuttered from as early as I remember until about 7 years ago, a few things happened to change my mind set if you would like to know more Get I. Touch, that goes for anyone else who may stutter. John@sidehustlejunkie.com I’d be glad to share what things actions and habits changed my life. This isn’t a sales pitch it’s a genuine offer to anyone who wants to know that you don’t have to settle for a life of stuttering.

    I had two immigrant parents who spoke English as a second language, and raised in a strict environment. As a result, I constantly have trouble finding verbal fluency. I get nervous that I’ll never get out of sounding like I myself am speaking English as a second language even though it’s my first.

    I find difficulty most when I'm having a conversation with someone about a topic I'm unsure about. Not only do I struggle when the topic at hand is tricky, but I also struggle when I'm under pressure from external circumstances, for example I am sitting some very important exams in a couple weeks, which means when I am conversing with a peer, my cognitive load is incredibly high, leaving scarce room for my working memory to thrive, because I have a feeling that predominantly stress is pushing me down. Thank you so much for this video. It has opened my eyes.

    I'm good at speaking in public and in debate, but if I have to explain some thing I'm doing, experienced, or want done, without preparation and in a mundane conversation/interview, I loose it. Barely able to put words in a logical format. It's easier (but not necessarily as logical as I'd like), when I take my time and write it down.

    I was doing a debate, and i was the rebuttal of the group. And i was doing amazing, debunking every single one of their points, one after another. Then, I tried to debunk one too many points, and one of the last points I didn't really have any rebuttal for and I just paused for about 2 seconds, and then just skipped over it. If I didn't screw up that one thing, I'm pretty sure I would have won the debate.
    Overall though, I can never seem to get my thought across with words well what-so-ever. Really want to work on it, because I want to be a lawyer, and I feel like i could do very well with the knowledge part of it. But the speaking part is something I really want to work on.

      I related a lot to this part of the video. I am usually a very calm person, but I get a surge of anxiety when I am in a conversation in which I have to express my opinion or lay out the knowledge that I've aquired about the topic in hand. I think I may just have an underlying fear of being judged for saying something wrong, bad or staight up dumb. It is something I definitely have to work on. Hope you manage to improve on your situation as awell. Cheers :)

      Dude saaaaame. When I get hyped up, whether negatively or positively, I can't speak without stuttering here and there or without running my words together. I'm 28, I should've been past this 20 years ago. I do find speaking with a slight accent helps break the words up, and I don't mean adopting a whole German or British accent; my go-to is a slight NY accent and I don't know how else to put it. Try putting a little more emphasis on first syllables. It worked for me.
