Here are top tips for improving your spoken English
and having a great time w hile you do it!
Speak, speak, speak!
Be confident and speak as often as possible to as
many people as you possibly can! Do not be shy to
make mistakes! The more you practice the better and
more confident you w ill become in your pronunciation
and vocabulary. Remember, speaking is a skill like
learning a musical instrument or new sport – the only
w ay you can get good is to actually do it!
Use technology
A smartphone can be a pow erful tool for learning
languages. Use it to record yourself speaking then
listen back to see how your English sounds to other
people. Make the most of all your favourite
productivity apps to organize your practice time and
make a note of all the new w ords you learn.
Listen
Listen to new s bulletins and songs in English to listen
to the pronunciation of w ords. You can also learn new
w ordsand expressionsthis way. The more you listen,
the more you learn!
