What is the speed at which to speak so that we are understood

Talk

For to speak correctly you don't just need to start making sounds through your mouth. It is also necessary that we do it in an understandable way, mentioning all the words exactly. One of the most important aspects is speed. Which is the right one? In this regard, we have new research by the Pompeu Fabra University, thanks to which quite interesting conclusions have been reached.

The results are quite clear: to speak correctly it is necessary to pronounce between 170 and 190 words per minute. Thus, in addition, the information processing. In fact, the higher the speed, the lower the complexity of the data should also be.

In the event that the speed is less than 170 words per minute, the listener's attention will also decrease, losing dynamism. Generally, when speech is greater than 190 words per minute, the listener will have trouble attending to the information that is being broadcast. If you exceed 210 words per minute, it is clear that it will be almost impossible to follow the conversation, even abandoning the task.

Taking into account the results, you already know what you have to do the next time you speak well: to pronounce about three words per second. Talking more or speaking less can cause your listeners to misunderstand you. Or even get bored.

In any case, it would be interesting to do all the efforts possible to further educate the voice and be able to speak better. We are sure that this way you will go much further. What do you think? Is it beneficial for your studies?
