    EXCELLENT video!! Per point three: (this works better if you live alone but you donā€™t have to live alone) Iā€™m in the habit of verbalizing my day to day activities. For instance, if I am making up my bed in the morning I actually audibly describe what Iā€™m doing as Iā€™m doing it. ā€œI am going to make my bed. I am pulling away the bedspread and I will do so in such a way that it is in its proper orientation so that it is easier to put back on the bed. Iā€™m watching my step because I certainly donā€™t want to stub my toe on an end table. As soon as Iā€™m done here I will go and brush my teeth.ā€ You can do this while washing dishes. Describe the way the dish is soiled. Describe the type of dish it is. Describe any design features on each dish. Practice your descriptions so that you are speaking fluidly and with no bumbling. This trains you to clear any bottlenecks between your brain and your mouth.

    I'm an avid reader, and organizing my thoughts into writing is what I do best. I think it's what a lot of people do best because we have time to think and process everything. Speaking requires quick recall, and that's not my strongpoint. My brain works well when I can take my time, but my mouth doesn't sync up so well when trying to explain something vocally. It's extremely frustrating. I'm envious of those who can just talk and talk with coherence and never miss a beat. I'm not sure how to get to that point. I think my brain is just wired this way.
  • Some people have the gift of articulating themselves. My daughter is like this. I have never been this way even though I think deeply about all kinds of topics, I read, I discuss with others, I talk to myself in front of the mirror, etc. Yes, I can improve, but it does not come easy to me!
  • @SamStarbucker
    As someone who absolutely hated the idea of reading a textbook, and stuttered a lot with people who Iā€™m even close with, I decided to go ahead and follow you step by step process. Within 3-4 weeks I noticed that I was able actively read and listen to my own thoughts and words before giving them to others. It was rough but it has been very rewarding! Thank you so much ā¤
  • @sunshine2049
    Having verbal fluency and conveying confidence while speaking is something I would love to achieve. I did not grow up around adults that invited conversation without being criticized. Lucky are those that did. I find what helps is to listen to someone that speaks really well and write down some of the words they say, and study them.
  • @corderi22
    Actually my nine year old daughter has read hundreds of books in the past two years and she can express her thoughts wonderfully. So, I totally agree.
  • @Mseleku1
    Learning at least 5 words a day is helpful. I do that myself and I write at least 5 sentences using the word I've just learned, and try to incorporate in my conversations so that it becomes engraved in my mind. This has helped me enormously as I am able to retrieve those words spontaneously. Repeat and repeat. That will take you places.
  • Much appreciation to you Kara Ronin for this insightful video. 3 Steps To Articulate Your Thoughts Clearly: 1. Read: It exposes you to new ideas, new ways of thinking and structuring. Also, it helps to improve one's vocabulary. 2. Write: It allows you to identify thinking patterns and to determine whether you have good or bad thoughts. This gives you an opportunity to reflect on those thoughts and improve them. Also, it helps you to develop the ability to write clearly in an organized manner. 3. Speak: The ability to read and write articulately will help you to verbal express yourself clearly in an organized manner.
  • What if you articulate your words well in thought and it comes out the complete opposite?
  • @rueagustin8499
    I find myself lacking the words to describe the things I want to say recently. This was not always the case. However, I I realized there was one solution to it that you also mentioned in your video: reading books. I know for sure that when I spend more time reading books, I am more able to articulate myself clearly but that my thoughts seem clearer as well. What a wonderful reminder and great video overall!
  • @AmbiguousAnthony
    This is a great video. This was also in the Bible in Deuteronomy: Place these words on your hearts. Get them deep inside you. Tie them on your hands and foreheads as a reminder. Teach them to your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning until you fall into bed at night. Inscribe them on the doorposts and gates of your cities so that youā€™ll live a long time, and your children with you, on the soil that God promised to give your ancestors for as long as there is a sky over the Earth.
  • I grew up in a family that appreciated literature and good writing (especially my father). While I studied science in college (under peer pressure šŸ˜¢), I devoured a lot of newspaper and news magazines; also picked up an old copy of 'Six Weeks to Words of Power' by Wilfred Funk and religiously followed it through. Ever since, reading widely has become a great way to learn and grow in every sphere of life.
  • @unBecoming1
    From one teacher to another teacher,Ā  you have given me an additional way of showing how to effectively articulate language. Thank you for the lesson and the tools you have provided. Peace to you and yours!
  • @zrabbit4326
    Kara, Iā€™ve been in a really rough spot in my life and Iā€™m trying to pick up the pieces. Your video helped a lot. Thank you!
  • @katiepham2670
    Great! This is by far the best of speech I have ever heard. Thanks Ɣo much. This is what I have been looking for.
  • Thank you for this great video. I really enjoy debates and deep conversations, itā€™s putting all that you said in practice, if you are strong on a topic. You reminded me how important consistency is in reading and writing.
  • @SmrtSocial
    Thanks for the reminder about journaling! I always feel more fresh of mind when I have time to write my thoughts down.
  • Yes, I too love the vocabulary and the way people articulated themselves in older books. šŸ“š šŸ“– ā¤
  • Thanks for being very clear and sincere in your videos. I'm benefitting from them.
