Introduction to the Topic

In Episode 2445 of the All Ears English Podcast, hosts Aubrey Carter and Lindsey McMahon delve into the crucial topic of speaking speed in English, specifically addressing why slowing down can enhance clarity and connection. This episode marks the first part of a two-part series titled "Why Slow Down in English? Part 1: Pause for Punctuation."

Understanding the Challenge of Speaking Speed

The episode begins with Lindsey posing a pertinent question to Aubrey: "Do you speak fast when you feel nervous with your English?" (02:32). This leads to a shared acknowledgment among language learners that both speaking too quickly and too slowly can impede effective communication.

Aubrey shares her personal experience, stating, "I can talk fast when I'm nervous sometimes or sometimes when I'm speaking Spanish. I can talk fast because I want to sound like a better speaker than I am." (02:43) Similarly, Lindsey admits, "I try to speak French and Spanish fast, hoping that my pronunciation or grammar errors won't be noticed if I'm speaking quickly." (02:57) This mutual vulnerability sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of the topic.

Student Scenario: Cena's Perspective

A focal point of the discussion revolves around a question submitted by a student named Cena. Cena explains his tendency to both slow down and speed up his speech, aiming to balance clarity with engagement:

• Cena: "When I speak more quickly, my mind doesn't overanalyze each word. This helps me avoid mentally translating from my native language into English or getting stuck trying to correct grammar in real time." (03:53)
• He continues, "Speaking with more energy and quicker helps me create a better connection and keeps the conversation flowing more naturally, which also helps avoid disappointing my listeners." (04:11)
• Additionally, Cena notes, "Interestingly, when I make a small mistake like using have instead of has, my listener often doesn't notice or even unintentionally mirrors the error." (04:34)

Aubrey commends Cena's self-awareness, emphasizing that his approach is both human and normal: "I love the level of self-awareness that Cena has. Completely clear of what is being done here." (06:21)

The Importance of Strategic Slowing Down

The hosts discuss the multifunctional role of pausing, not merely as a means to slow down but as a strategic tool to enhance communication:

1. Pause for Punctuation:

   • Lindsey introduces the first strategy: "Pause for punctuation. So it's easier if you're reading something written because you're seeing those commas and periods." (08:21)
   • Through examples, Aubrey illustrates how pausing at commas and periods clarifies complex sentences. For instance, he reads aloud, "After the meeting, we'll review the results, and if everything checks out, we'll move forward." and contrasts it with a jumbled version without pauses, highlighting the latter's lack of clarity (08:45, 10:02).

2. Enhancing Connection and Engagement:

   • Aubrey emphasizes that pausing not only aids understanding but also makes speech more engaging: (10:00)(#) "It also just kind of makes speaking the sentence more fun, in a way."
   • Lindsey adds that pausing appropriately can prevent the audience from becoming bored or confused: "It gives what we are saying more importance and gives people the idea that they need to listen." (11:32)

3. Building Confidence:

   • The hosts discuss how strategic pausing can bolster a speaker's confidence. Aubrey shares a personal anecdote about a panel session where his nervousness led to a run-on sentence, underscoring the importance of pausing to maintain composure and clarity (11:54).

Practical Examples and Demonstrations

To concretize their strategies, Aubrey and Lindsey provide practical examples demonstrating the difference pauses make in spoken English:

• Example Sentence:

  • Without Pauses: "I was walking through the forest, enjoying the quiet, when suddenly I heard a noise." (14:12)
  • With Pauses: "I was walking through the forest, enjoying the quiet, when suddenly I heard a noise." with intentional pauses after "forest," "quiet," and "suddenly" (14:28, 16:19)

  Aubrey and Lindsey perform the sentence both with and without pauses, illustrating how pauses enhance understanding and add dramatic effect.

• Comedic Timing Analogy:

  • They draw parallels with comedians who utilize pauses effectively for timing and audience engagement, highlighting the artistry involved in strategic pausing (15:36 - 16:07).

---

Key Takeaways and Strategies

By the episode's conclusion, Aubrey and Lindsey summarize the primary strategy discussed:

1. Pause for Punctuation:

   • Identify where punctuation marks (commas, periods, semicolons) appear in sentences.
   • Pause briefly at these points to separate ideas and enhance clarity.
   • Use pauses to add dramatic effect and emphasize important points.

2. Implementing Pauses Without Slowing Down:

   • The goal is not to slow the entire speech but to incorporate strategic pauses where punctuation occurs.
   • This approach maintains the flow while improving comprehension and engagement.

Aubrey reinforces the takeaway: "Strategy one, pause for punctuation. We'll be back in the second part of this series." (18:01)

Lindsey adds, "We need to pause when there would be punctuation in a sentence." (18:35) emphasizing that understanding and applying punctuation-based pauses is essential for effective communication.

---

Conclusion and Looking Forward

As the episode wraps up, Aubrey and Lindsey acknowledge that the discussion is part one of a two-part series, teasing further strategies in the next installment. They encourage listeners to adopt the discussed techniques, practice pausing for punctuation, and prepare for more in-depth strategies in Part 2.

[Aubrey Carter]

Hello Aubrey, how are you today?

[Lindsey McMahon]

I'm great, Lindsay. How are you?

[Aubrey Carter]

Good, good. What are we getting into today?

[Lindsey McMahon]

I have a question for you.

[Aubrey Carter]

Okay.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Are you a fast talker?

[Aubrey Carter]

You know, I noticed that yes, I can talk fast when I'm nervous sometimes or sometimes when I'm speaking Spanish. I can talk fast because I want to sound like a better speaker than I am. Maybe that's my own.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Absolutely do that too. I try to speak French and Spanish fast, hoping that my pronunciation or grammar errors won't be noticed if I'm speaking quickly.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yeah, or you just kind of want to get to the point, right? You want to get to connection, which is a very human thing. You want to get to what you're saying. So this topic is is coming into our podcast today from one of Our students in our courses. I love this when we get real scenarios to talk through.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Absolutely right. It's such a great question about how fast you should speak in English, what it might help, and when you should slow down, why you should slow down. So let's read this question. It's such a good one.

[Aubrey Carter]

Okay, so this is our student Cena, and he says. Hi, Lindsay. Hope everything is going well. Following up from our chat at Conversation Club on Thursday, I wanted to explain why I currently speak slowly and why I'm trying to speak faster. Oh, or was it speak?

[Lindsey McMahon]

Yeah, no, it's interesting.

[Aubrey Carter]

Keep going.

[Lindsey McMahon]

This is gonna. It's good.

[Aubrey Carter]

When I speak more quickly, my mind doesn't over analyze each word. This helps me avoid mentally translating from my native language into English or getting stuck trying to correct grammar in real time. Speaking faster encourages more spontaneous and natural sentence formation. Aubrey, you want to take the next piece?

[Lindsey McMahon]

Yeah. He says it helps keep my audience more engaged. I've noticed that speaking slowly can sometimes cause confusion or boredom. Mostly because I tend to pause frequent while searching for the right word or trying to fix my sentence grammatically, especially when speaking to native English speakers. Speaking with more energy and quicker helps me create a better connection and keeps the conversation flowing more naturally, which also helps avoid disappointing my listeners.

[Aubrey Carter]

It also helps. I'm sorry, I was going to chime in. It also helps me mask minor grammar or pronunciation mistakes. Interest. Interestingly, when I make a small mistake like using have instead of has, my listener often doesn't notice or even unintentionally mirrors the error. So speaking more fluidly makes me feel confident. Go ahead, Aubry.

[Lindsey McMahon]

By the way, thank you for your support and for creating such a helpful podcast. On a side note, after learning about the flow be through your podcast, I started using it to cut my own hair. I've always disliked going to the barber shop, so this has been a great discovery. Yet another benefit I've gained from your work. I love this so much. I remember we mentioned the flowy that my husband uses to cut his hair. And I love that Cena found this hack. Especially if you hate going to the barbershop. Yeah.

[Aubrey Carter]

So first of all, huge shout out to Cena for sharing this scenario. I had a chance to meet Cena in one of our hot seat opportunities, which is where during our open conversation club or fluency party, a few students are randomly selected to speak directly with me or Aubry in a one on one conversation. Right. So this is where I really get to we, you know, we get to know you all Right. We get to ask you what your challenges are. And I found this to be a really interesting situation for Cena, and so human, so normal. So I just want to start by normalizing this. This is very human, the way this is happening.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Yes. And definitely shared by all language learners. We are there. We have been there. There are definitely a few great advantages to speaking quickly, especially in a second language. This will be different for everyone. But I love some of the ones that he mentioned. Right. It. It helps you translate less from your first language. You don't have the time to think about, you know, how would I say this in my first language? And now I'm going to say it in having to go straight from your thoughts to bring it out in English. That's a great benefit.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yeah. That is really interesting. And then the other piece, now the errors are less obvious. You're right. So I love the level of self awareness that Cena has. Completely clear of what is being done here. Trying to make to kind of mask errors, which, again, so human, so normal. I. I get it. I totally get it.

[Lindsey McMahon]

We've all been there. And Cena's correct that we don't really want to pause, have those long pauses or speak really slowly to give us time to think of vocabulary or draw out our message, because it can potentially cause boredom. It can potentially lose our audience, our listener. Right. But yes.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yeah, I was gonna say which severs connection. Right. So I think Cena is looking for connection, as we all are. So it makes sense why you would do this. Boredom monotone. We want to avoid these things and connect with the person in front of us.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Right. Yes. But often it's interesting that it is vital to slow down in a second language, but for specific reasons. Right. We're slowing down just to draw out our message or we don't want to take that time to translate. But there are specific reasons that we will intentionally slow down.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yeah. So in this episode, for Cena and for our listeners who might also be doing this, it's also possible that some of our listeners are doing this, but maybe not realizing it. So this will be a chance to ask yourself, everyone, are you actually doing this? And. And we're going to give you three things you can do. So I think we're not necessarily going to say here that we have to slow down. Down. Except for in. In our third tip, but there are ways you can continue to speak at a similar pace, but use strategic pauses and space and emphasis. Right, Aubrey?

[Lindsey McMahon]

Exactly. It's usually not about slowing down. The entire cadence of Your speech, it's very specific. Slowing and pausing in order to add interest to what you're saying.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yes, and then we will. Yeah, so we're not telling you. You have to slow down. It's being strategic. So let's go into tip one, strategy one for our listeners here. What would be the first thing that Cena could do?

[Lindsey McMahon]

Yeah, so the first thing is to pause for punctuation. So it's easier if you're reading something written because you're seeing those commas and periods. If you're speaking, you have to sort of understand where there would be punctuation if it were written. So we're going to give you a sentence with the pauses that would come with punctuation, and we'll describe why we would make those pauses. Because this is something you have to be very intentional about.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yes, exactly. So should I go ahead and speak the whole sentence with how this is operating?

[Lindsey McMahon]

Yes.

[Aubrey Carter]

Okay. After the meeting, we'll review the results, and if everything checks out, we'll move forward.

[Lindsey McMahon]

All right, so we don't. Those chunks between punctuation don't have to be slowed down. Right. You don't want to just draw out what you're saying, but you are pausing when there would be punctuation in or for. For specific reasons. So first of all, there would be a comma after meeting. We have this introductory phrase, and pausing there separates this introductory phrase. This makes your message easier to understand.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yeah. This is really all about making sure that person gets what you're saying.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Right.

[Aubrey Carter]

This is how to do it. And then a comma after results.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Right.

[Aubrey Carter]

So this separates the items in a compound sentence.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Right.

[Aubrey Carter]

We've got a compound sentence here, which at your level. Cena is at a high level of English. He is using complex compound sentences.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Okay, Exactly. And if we just say them all run together with no pauses, the message becomes unclear because we have lots of different clauses, several meanings in one sentence. And the way we make sure that we are understood is by emphasizing certain words and pausing in certain places.

[Aubrey Carter]

It also just kind of makes speaking the sentence more fun, in a way.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Absolutely.

[Aubrey Carter]

Just makes it more fun. What would be the next pause?

[Lindsey McMahon]

Yeah, and then there's a comma after checks out, if everything checks out. And this one gives the listener time to process. Before the conclusion of your sentence, you have set it up by saying if everything checks out, you give a little pause there, almost for dramatic effect. What will happen if everything checks out?

[Aubrey Carter]

If everything checks out. And it's kind of a special intonation that I added there It's a questioning.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Right.

[Aubrey Carter]

We're wondering. A little mystery there. So again, more fun. Aubrey, I think what would be helpful if we said it two more times, once with the pauses and one without it. Could you do that for us to show us with pauses first? Yeah.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Okay, so with pause it. Let's do without first.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yeah. Without first.

[Lindsey McMahon]

What would this sound like if we didn't have those pauses? After the meeting, we'll review the results and if everything checks out, we'll move forward.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yeah. It's almost hard to not use the pausing.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Right, Right. It's hard to follow what you're. You are saying as you say it, let alone your speaker.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yeah. But when I heard you say that, it felt very jumbled. It felt like. It didn't feel like you were speaking to me. Right, Right.

[Lindsey McMahon]

It feels like I'm either reading quickly or. Right. That I'm. I'm not thinking about what I'm saying.

[Aubrey Carter]

Exactly. And we can command a sense of. We can build our sense of confidence by saying I'm worth it to pause. Like these people can wait for me to really say this sentence correctly. Like maybe it might be a little bit of maybe. Potentially a lack of confidence and feeling we have to jam the message in quickly because people don't want to listen or something. That could be something else that's going on here. That's a good point.

[Lindsey McMahon]

It adds import when we're taking the time to pause. It gives what we are saying more importance and. Exactly. And gives people the idea that they. The impression that they need to listen. They need to prioritize it. Where if you start speaking and running everything together, brains turn off. Right. No one will be listening.

[Aubrey Carter]

And I think I shared a few weeks ago, I was on a panel at my meditation center, and I think that's what I did. I think I did.

[Lindsey McMahon]

I think I didn't even pausing between.

[Aubrey Carter]

The pronunciation, between the commas because I was nervous. Right. I had great content, great things to say about the topic, but it was like one run on sentence and I hardly breathed because I almost. I felt nervous in front of the group. I don't normally speak in front of that group.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Right. Yeah. And we think about how if we are thinking, you know, is what I'm saying important enough? Am I wasting their time? Then we just start running it all together.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yes. That's a key part of this lesson today, of this episode that I want to make sure doesn't get.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Yeah.

[Aubrey Carter]

Jumbled.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Absolutely.

[Aubrey Carter]

It's confidence. But once you start hearing yourself doing this, pausing in the right moments, you will say, yeah, they're listening to me. They're sticking with me. I can do this in different scenarios. Okay, imagine this.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Absolutely. Let's give another example here. Same thing. Pausing for punctuation. We'll share what? Why? Right. So you might say, I was walking through the forest, enjoying the quiet, when suddenly I heard a noise. So let's go through these pauses and why we're making them.

[Aubrey Carter]

All right, so we have a pause, a comma after forest, which ends the first idea. Again, complex sentences. Complex ideas. Because we're adults, we have complex things to say.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Right? We have those introductory phrases, initial ideas that are setting up something. Future. We pause for dramatic effect.

[Aubrey Carter]

Exactly. So that's the first one. And then after the word quiet, we have another comma that separates a descriptive clause. What is a descriptive clause?

[Lindsey McMahon]

Yeah, so we often have this. When you're writing, you have to offset them with commas. We have a clause that's describing something else. Right. So you're talking about this walk in the forest. You're sharing why you were doing it or what you were doing. So walk through the forest, enjoying the quiet, when suddenly. Right, so it's extra information. We add commas and we pause when.

[Aubrey Carter]

We'Re speaking, which again, adds color to our story, adds context, lets us envision you in the forest. Right. What are you doing? That kind of thing. So good. And then after the word suddenly, we build dramatic effect by adding another comma when suddenly I heard a noise.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Right, right. Imagine what a wasted opportunity if you just say when suddenly I heard a no noise. You don't give anyone that chance to. To build the dramatic effect and. And wonder what happened suddenly.

[Aubrey Carter]

That's a good point. Sometimes I wonder with comedians. They always have the right timing.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Oh, yeah.

[Aubrey Carter]

Do you notice that, how they always drop a joke and then the audience will laugh and they'll say something like, but. And. And they kind of, like, speak under their breath a bit to wait for the. It's a cadence. They're waiting for the audience to be ready for the next line. It's like an art, and that's what we can do in English, so.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Absolutely right. If we're just speaking very quickly, we lose these. These opportunities to make what we're saying not only in art, but understood well, so that our meaning is clear.

[Aubrey Carter]

Okay, so let me try my hand at this one.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Just.

[Aubrey Carter]

Just without the pauses, just so we know, and then we'll do it. I'm gonna try. It's hard because I can see the comments on the page, and. Yeah. I was walking through the forest, enjoying the quiet, when suddenly I heard a noise. Ugh. How did you feel about connecting with me? Aubry?

[Lindsey McMahon]

No. Terrible. And it's so interesting how without those pauses, you also end up using a monotone because you don't have the time. The words don't have the space to be emphasized, so you can't vary your tone.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yes. And can you give us how, again, one more time, how it looks with the pauses?

[Lindsey McMahon]

Yes. I was walking through the forest, enjoying the quiet, when suddenly I heard a noise.

[Aubrey Carter]

I love it. And, you know, just as a practice opportunity, a side point, you guys can use our transcripts to model what we do in the show, because the reason you're not bored on this show is because we do use a lot of this pausing, a lot of this kind of dramatic effect. Maybe a little more than we do in our daily lives. I would say, for me, maybe a little more. But you can model. You can use our audios and model how we speak with our pauses.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Okay, Absolutely. That mimicking or shadowing is really the best way to improve your pronunciation. Varying your tone, speaking at a speed where you're able to use all of this dramatic effect. Right. You need to know when to pause in order to have interesting intonation.

[Aubrey Carter]

Oh, my gosh. Aubrey. This episode might have to move into a part two. I feel like, we have so many good things to say. We haven't even gotten to the second tip. What do you think about continuing this one another day? This is going to be a series.

[Lindsey McMahon]

I love that idea.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yes.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Guys, hit follow. Because we have more. Two more options, which it's true, it's taking a little time here and we want to make sure that you get all of these details. Yeah.

[Aubrey Carter]

So we've just spontaneously changed the plan, but I love it because I think we have a solid takeaway for our listeners in the one strategy that we taught you today, which is look at where the commas are and pause between each one for different reasons. Right, Aubry?

[Lindsey McMahon]

Absolutely right. We definitely understand why Cena and a lot of you out there, me, when I'm speaking French and Spanish, why we want to speed up, up. We. And sometimes we do need to. Sometimes there are benefits that we want to take advantage of. But often in order to vary your tone and add interest, you need to pause when there would be punctuation in a sentence.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yeah. And today we just talked about commas, but obviously periods are a little more obvious. But also semicolons. Right, Pausing there.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Yes. Right. Any punctuation at the end of a sentence, that's a hard stop. And even bigger pause. Right. Semicolon. Very similar to a comma. We're needing those pauses because they always end an introductory phrase or end a relative clause. Right. There's always a reason for that pause. Right.

[Aubrey Carter]

Or quotation marks when we're quoting someone. Like often when we read the student question, I will change my voice a little bit as I read the student question. Parentheses, things like that. We're changing the tone, we're pausing.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Okay. Exactly right. If we run straight from what we were saying into a quote, then it's difficult to understand what was said by whom. We use our intonation to make that clear.

[Aubrey Carter]

So again, today's takeaway. Strategy one, pause for punctuation. We'll be back in the second part of this series, Aubry for strategy two and three. All right.

[Lindsey McMahon]

Awesome. Yes. We'll see you guys there.
