you master being eloquent and witty. Find television shows that have

outstanding one-liners and excellent dialogue. Look for shows that have
inspiring characters that you can learn things from. Immersing yourself in
witty and eloquent personalities will help you get more eloquent and witty
and you will soon be a smooth talker, too.

Expanding Your Vocabulary

According to research, a normal person knows about 35,000 words but only

uses around 3,000 of them. The rest of the words just turn into “passive
vocabulary” that doesn’t get used much at all.

A person who is eloquent won’t have any problems being able to get your
point across. Learn how to be exceptional. Use online resources like
dictionaries and thesauruses.

You should learn a new word each day. Know the origins of the words and
ways to use the word correctly. There isn’t anything worse than listening to
someone spew out words and using them incorrectly. After you can become

consistent doing this, you will surprise yourself at the results.

Memorize Some Quotes

Be that person who is always bringing up great quotes or saying during a
group conversation. Just think about what it would be like having that perfect
quote for each and every scenario and situation. This will make everybody
want to listen to what you have to say. You will have to learn, memorize,
digest, and be able to speak those quotes. This just might be the best part of

learning eloquence and wit.

Be Concise and Brief

There isn’t anything worse than sitting and listening to someone go on and on
and on…

People who can’t stop talking are the worst. You might have a hard time
being concise and brief, but sometimes nerves get in our way. You know how

annoying it is when you are sitting across from someone who doesn’t listen to
a thing you say because they can’t stop talking long enough to even
acknowledge that you are in the room.
