Speaking in English has now become a necessity and we all want to speak fluent English, but still many of us can’t due to various reasons.one of the reason is we don’t have anyone to speak in English. so here are some tips that will help you to improve your spoken English even if you do not have a speaking partner. I guarantee you that after following these tips for 2–3 months religiously you will become fluent in the queen’s language.
1. LISTEN
This is the first and foremost step to become fluent. We all know that a newborn baby learns his native language by listening to his parents. Taking that in mind start listening English, it can be anything from watching movies, listening to podcasts, songs, youtube videos, news.
MY ADVICE TO YOU WOULD BE TO WATCH SOMETHING INTERESTING IN THAT WAY YOU WON’T FIND IT DIFFICULT PREFERABLY WATCH CARTOONS AS USAGE OF ENGLISH IN THEM IS PRETTY BASIC AND THEY ARE FOR KIDS TO LEARN ENGLISH. ALWAYS USE SUBTITLES AND GLANCE THEM ONLY WHEN YOU CANT UNDERSTAND SOMETHING.
2.READ
Now this part is necessary if you want to improve your vocabulary and see how sentence formation occurs.don't start with newspaper if you are a beginner start reading children's books (you can start with Enid Blyton there is no shame in reading children's books as they are quite interesting and fun to read). I learned more English reading Enid Blyton then I ever learned at my school. whenever you come across any new word just mark it and try to guess the meaning and move on, after you finish reading look up the word in dictionary see it’s other forms also synonyms and antonyms now note it down in a notebook.
READING BOOKS WILL NOT ONLY IMPROVE YOUR ENGLISH BUT ALSO MAKE YOU MORE INTELLECTUAL.
3.SPEAK
Now some people will consider it difficult as they fear that other people will make fun of them if they speak incorrectly. We are advised to speak to a mirror but we know speaking to the mirror doesn't frigging work. I suggest you install apps like opentalk ,speaklar etc these apps are completely free and let you interact with other learners.after two weeks of usage you will begin to notice changes in your fluency. Now after acquiring confidence in your spoken English start using English in your daily conversations.
REMEMBER NEVER SPEAK IN ENGLISH TO SHOW OFF. NEVER BOTHER ABOUT YOUR ACCENT AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG SPEAKING IN YOUR NATIVE ACCENT. EVERYONE DISLIKES FAKE ACCENT. BE NATURAL BE TRUE TO YOURSELF.
DON’T TRY TO SPEAK LIKE SHERLOCK. SPEAK SLOWLY IN THAT WAY YOU WON’T GET STUCK AND YOU WILL SPEAK WITH CLARITY AND INFLUENCE.
4.WRITE
Start writing a journal or diary. Initially it will feel stupid but you will get better with time. you will get to know your true self. Write one page daily and try to use the words that you learned recently. Writing something down makes it easier to remember. Don’t expect yourself to write something as well known writers and get disappointed, just don't give up and keep writing.
5.THINK
For thinking in English surround yourself with English, you will automatically start thinking in English. Try to talk to yourself in your mind in English after some time you will get a habit of thinking in English. Forex think about what you want to do today in English the aim is to talk to yourself in English in that way when you will speak in English there will be no need to translate your thoughts from your native language to English and you won't get stuck while speaking.
