Chunks are ready-made phrases fluent speakers use without thinking. Drill them until they come out automatically.
Improves: Fluency and speed
Fluent speakers pull whole phrases from memory instead of building sentences word by word. Every chunk you automate frees your mind to focus on what to say, so you freeze less.
Recall. Read the situation and say every chunk you can remember, out loud. The list stays hidden.
Check. Reveal the list and tick the chunks you said.
Use. Say the chunks you're still drilling in new sentences of your own.
No timer and no order. Pick any category, and come back on different days.
