There are many differences between spoken and written English.
These differences include:
- Simpler language
- Repetition
Good communicators generally use simpler language so the listeners can understand them more easily.
Unlike writing and reading, speaking requires us to repeat a lot of words as most of them are lost or forgotten.
Look at the example below.
Written:
If I had a lot of money, I would purchase a majestic mansion on the rocky coastlines of Spain
Spoken:
If I had a lot of money,
I would buy a huge house
on the coast of Spain
A ‘majestic mansion’ is poetic while A ‘huge house’ is more natural.
What is the significance of the ‘Rocky coastlines’? In this case, it isn’t important, so it can be left out.
When you learn to speak and listen to your audience, they will pay more attention and it will be easier for you.
Now you can see the importance of simplicity in spoken English.
