G'day mate, how have you been? Today, I'm gonna be talking about why Read aloud leads to everything. Ultimately speaking, you don't have to practise writing at all if you always use your mouth to practise English. To do so, of course, you've got to have all basic skills. Let's find out.
In terms of speaking itself, Read aloud is by far the most important task for English learners. I'm 100 % certain that you won't be able to develop English skills any further if you cannot do read aloud properly. Reading English words aloud and then read sentences aloud gradually are one of the fundamental trainings in the course of English learning. To this end, definitely you've got to have at least the basic command or accuracy of English pronunciation as well as grammatical and etymological knowledge. If you have these skills, then there won't be any critical issue. The more you read aloud, the less possibility you'll make mistakes.
As for writing, Read aloud is critical. Why? Because, if you can pronounce each word clearly, then I don't think you cannot write or type English sentences. And, apparently, you could imagine how English sentences should be constructed grammatically, right? Do you really need to use a piece of paper with a pencil? Yes of course you should do write something sometimes, which is great! For instance, writing an English blog, diary or letter is a good way of practising English. But, what I wanna emphasise here is that if you wish to streamline the process of learning English, then Read aloud is the best of the best methodology to be able to boost your writing skills without spending significant time and effort on writing itself.
How about reading? Well, again Read aloud works out beautifully for you. You don't need to stress out when it comes to comprehending the English sentence structure, the meaning of words and grammar as well. Supposing you're always reading articles aloud, your instantaneous brain kicks in as you read English sentences aloud further. Of course, the performance level depends upon how good your pronunciation and grammar knowledge are. If these fundamental skills are lacking, then it is better to refine pronunciation or review grammar rules first. Then, you can go back to Read aloud. Being not good at reading comprehension is almost synonymous with being bad at reading aloud with poor pronunciation and grammar knowledge.
Finally, there's no doubt that listening hinges upon how good your read aloud is. If you cannot pronounce word by word, sentence by sentence as well as paragraph by paragraph, then your listening skill is highly doubted. Why? This is simply because that there'll be less possibility for you to catch and understand any word or every phonemic symbol you're persistently mispronouncing when you read aloud. Yes of course some talented guys could listen and understand, which is unfortunately exceptional, so normally not the case. Listening itself is definitely a good way of getting used to, for instance, so-called "natural speed/pace/tempo of speaking" and "rhythm and correct pause". However, you don't necessarily need listening practice until you could read English sentences aloud properly and confidently.
Overall, you will eventually be champion in English as long as you continue to practise read aloud with correct pronunciation and excellent grammar knowledge. The rest of training including writing, reading and listening isn't necessarily needed until you could read English sentences aloud superbly. Let's kickstart practising Read aloud further if you've had a good command of grammar and pronunciation.
Thanks for reading my ditty.
