WHAT IS SPOKEN ENGLISH?
‘Spoken English’ is English that is spoken by people to converse and communicate. It comprises the usage of words, phrases and sentences verbally in order to communicate or express ideas or feelings to people around us.
​
'Spoken English' is the more natural and widespread mode of transmission, though ironically the one which most people find much less familiar-presumably because it is so much more difficult to ‘see’ what is happening in speech than in writing. This explains, that spoken English is more natural and prevalent mode of communication.
