Fluent English Speaking Tips
English is a complicated language, everybody can agree on this fact! But for some people, English can seem exceptionally hard. There are more than one legitimate reasons for this. First, they’re not native speakers of English. Two, they have very limited exposure to listening, talking, or reading English. Non-native English speakers find it hard to keep up with English due to limited exposure. Since almost all interactions that occur in the world on a daily basis are mostly, if not always, in the English language; it’s natural to feel overwhelmed and clueless when faced with a situation where you’re forced to converse or write in fluent English. But like all languages, practice is the only way to perfect mistakes.
Here are 6 very useful tips to improve your English to speak fluently at all times:
1. Read English Books:Â
A basic knowledge of English words and phrases is enough to spend considerable time reading useful, interesting English Books. Reading is the best way to correct any mistakes you may be making and to learn new words. More importantly, constant reading gives you a fluency that will come naturally the next time you speak to someone in English. You don’t have to read all books. Just pick those that interest you and gradually add more topics to your list. If you don’t understand something you can always seek help from a fluent speaker or turn to a dictionary.
2. Converse in English Regularly:
Switch to English from your native language during daily conversations. The more you speak, the higher your fluency will be. The best way to learn is to talk to fluent speakers in English and ask them to correct you when you make a mistake. Don’t shy away from correcting your mistakes.
3. Movies and Music make for Instant Learning:
English Music and Movies are a great way to develop fluency faster. Besides, you can never get bored of listening to songs and watching movies. If you have difficulty understanding words, turn on subtitles and observe keenly the lyrics of the song. In no time, you won’t need subtitles. Pick a genre you like and spend as much time as you can watching English movies and listening to English music.
4. Purchase Grammar Books:
There are a lot of Grammar and Sentence Structure books available with exercises and practice tests that are fun and challenging at the same time. Choose a recommended book and spend a little time each day giving yourself exercises and tests.
5. Take English Classes:
It is always wise to learn from a Professional who can guide you on the right path towards fluent English. Regardless of whether you’ve attended English classes before or not, you can opt for crash courses in English fluency in your vicinity. There are also online courses available. Do your research thoroughly and find a class that best suits you.
6. Overcome Psychological Learning Barriers:
In this day and age, it is very hard to cope with the social stigma associated with weak English fluency. As such, it is difficult to obtain the confidence required to speak fearlessly when you feel conscious and aware of your mistakes. The only solution to overcome these psychological barriers is to realize the fact that it is perfectly ok to make mistakes and learn from them. Speaking boldly and fearlessly is key to improving yourself. If you find yourself in a situation where you feel ridiculed for not being fluent, you can explain calmly that you’re trying to learn as best as you can. It’s also wise to ignore or avoid such situations. If you still feel under-confident of utilizing your newly acquired English speaking skills, try a few self-confidence boosting exercises and seek guidance from an expert if required.
Learning is never a one day or one week process. Learning doesn’t stop and never with the English language. There will always be new words that you don’t know. Keep yourself updated always and never quit being a learner.
