I'm going to talk about the relationship among reading, writing, speaking and listening.
After that, I'm going to tell you a Point of View Story.

As a language student, the main activities to learn a new language are: reading, writing, listening and speaking. This is what we naturally do in our mother tongue.

One key aspect to keep in mind is that we can categorize these activities as input and output. As you may guess, listening and reading are input activities, and writing and speaking are output activities.

0:14.0	Hi everyone. I'm Georgiana, founder of speakenglishpodcast.com.
0:25.5	My mission is to help you to speak English fluently.
0:34.5	In this episode, I'm going to talk about the relationship between reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
0:40.3	After that, I'm going to tell you a point of view story. Okay, let's get started.
0:50.3	As a language student, the main activities to learn a new language are reading, writing, listening, and speaking. This is what we naturally do in our mother tongue. One key aspect to

1:25.4	In other words, when you're listening or reading, you're being exposed to the language. In other words, when you're listening or reading, you're being exposed to the
1:30.9	language. And when you're writing and speaking, you are producing the language. The traditional
1:38.7	approach tells you that the more you write and speak, the better. That's why language schools insist on writing a lot

2:24.9	But then, is speaking and writing a waste of time?
2:29.7	No, I didn't say that.
