Do you speak English quickly or do you speak it slowly? One way to find out is to count the number of words you say in one minute. In a friendly conversation, most people speak English between 120 and 180 words per minute (about 150 words is average for native speakers in the United States). Many things can affect how fast you talk. For example, if you feel sad or tired you might speak more slowly. If you feel nervous, angry, or excited, you will probably speak more quickly. Also, where you live may affect your speaking speed. Many people in New York speak more quickly than people in other areas. Your personality is also important. Some people just “naturally” speak slowly or quickly. Finally, if you are still learning English as a second language, you will probably speak it more slowly than native speakers – people whose first language is English. The fastest female speaker in the world is Fran Capo. She is from New York City and she is an actress and a writer, and she is often a guest on many radio talk shows and television programs. Amazingly, she can speak a little over 600 words per minute! Steve Woodmore, from the United Kingdom, is the fastest speaker in the world, and he can speak 637 words per minute!
