How does The Dictionary of Active Fluency Combinations<\/em> help you build great fluency in English?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Are you an advanced or post-advanced learner of English who isn\u2019t satisfied with being \u2018somewhat\u2019 fluent in it? Have you ever wished you could find out and master the very word groups that can turn you into an exceptionally fluent speaker of English? Then here\u2019s the very book you need.<\/p>\n

While you\u2019re speaking (and not writing), what you\u2019re really doing is this: From one angle, you\u2019re processing your ideas, thoughts and feelings aloud with the aim of communicating them at the same time to your hearers. From another angle, you\u2019re engaging in a process of interaction with them.<\/p>\n

So the vocabulary items that you use in speech must be those that have the quality of making real-time processing and simultaneous presentation of speech possible. Generally speaking, individual words don\u2019t have this quality. No. But combinations of words do \u2014 combinations of words that are closely connected to one another. These are the kinds of word combinations that can act as single units of meaning.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why every articulate native speaker of English, as well as every fluent non-native speaker of English, has a good command of a large number of pre-built combinations of words.<\/p>\n

Of all kinds of word combinations, \u201cverb + noun\u201d word combinations are the most important ones for achieving true fluency in spoken English. This is because speech is a process, and not a finished product like writing. Speech is a dynamic process \u2014 one that keeps on changing, evolving and progressing, a happening that takes place in time. And whenever you\u2019re speaking, you\u2019re engaged in a process \u2014 the process of using words and communicating something to somebody who you\u2019re speaking to at that very moment. And verbs are the words that you need most help from in this process \u2014 especially, verbs in combination with nouns that follow them.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a pioneering work that gives you a core collection of \u201cverb + noun\u201d combinations. You\u2019ll find these combinations grouped together under various headwords in a dictionary layout. Remember this: No other type of word combinations can solve as much of your fluency-related vocabulary problems as \u201cverb + noun\u201d combinations can.<\/p>\n
