How to speak English like a native speaker?

The first step is to speak like native speakers actually speak.

We used to think native speakers used grammar rules (syntax) and plugged words into them to compute sentences as they speak. And that’s exactly how most people are still learning English as a second language. But that never really made much sense, because we shouldn’t be able to speak as quickly and with as few errors as we do. Grammar also can’t explain why we sound so natural when we speak (it’s ‘good morning’, not ‘pleasant first half of the day’).

When we speak a language, we’re actually speaking in chunks. Phrases and expressions – big pieces of language. Native speakers store chunks in memory, and then just pull them out as-is when they speak. There are no rules or individual words – so no computation is necessary most of the time. And this is why native English sounds so fluent and natural. It’s why we can speak so fast, and why we speak so naturally.
