Перевод интервью:

Когда вы говорите на иностранном языке, что важнее — точность или беглость? Важно и то и другое, но главное — говорить бегло, без долгих пауз. Не бойтесь делать ошибки и не переводите с родного языка, пока говорите.

Звучит просто, но как этого добиться? Нужно много практиковаться. Так вы улучшите свою речь! Также важно запоминать слова. Трудно говорить точно, когда не можешь вспомнить слова!

А важно ли выполнять много упражнений по грамматике? Грамматика помогает говорить правильно, но не очень помогает развить беглость речи.
