Fluency

Fluency in speech refers to the ability to speak effortlessly and smoothly, with a natural flow and rhythm. It’s more than just knowing the words; it’s about connecting them seamlessly, with appropriate pauses and intonation. A fluent speaker can express thoughts and ideas clearly and coherently, without stumbling or hesitating. Think of it like a river: a fluent speaker’s words flow smoothly, like a well-maintained waterway, while a less fluent speaker’s might be more choppy and interrupted, like a rocky stream. Fluency is a key component of effective communication and can greatly enhance a speaker’s ability to connect with and engage their audience.
