Forget the Technique; Just Speak - The Final Drills from Slow to Sprint focuses purely on drilling. The drill starts with single letters and expands gradually into very long words. The exact same set of letters and words is repeated three times at increasing speeds - slow, very fast, and sprint.

In moving to the next level and fully incorporating this technique into our speaking, we want to, in a sense, “forget the technique” and just speak freely.

If you run into trouble in any areas with any particular sounds, you can always go back to the technique.

Relax, forget the rules, and focus on just listening and repeating. Trust your ear and trust your speech. Think into the center of each letter as your speech flows effortlessly from one letter to the next.
