2. Simple Tips for Extraordinary Fluency
Do you want to learn how to speak English well?
Are you also looking for a shortcut to English fluency?
We don’t have tricks that will give you perfect English in
five minutes a day.
But we do have solid tips that will help you learn how to
speak English more fluently, in less time.
Here are some tips that will help you speak English better
than ever.
3. English speaking skills
If you’re wondering how to
improve your English speaking
skills, there isn’t one easy
answer. Learning how to speak
English fluently isn’t something
that happens overnight. Because
of this, it’s important to have
tools and techniques ready for
practicing every day. Ultimately,
if you have activities that you
enjoy and that require you to
speak English, your skills will
improve more and more over
time.
4. Don’t Be Afraid to Make Mistakes
Sometimes it can be difficult to put all those rules and
words together into a simple sentence. Don’t let the
fear of saying something wrong stop you from speaking
at all. Even if you think you’re making a mistake, keep
speaking anyway. Most of the time, people will
understand what you’re trying to say, even if you make
a mistake. Plus, the more you speak, the easier it gets,
and the faster the right words will come to mind.
5. Memorize Conversation Starters
(and Use Them!)
You might miss out on opportunities
to practice English speaking if you just
can’t think of anything to say. An easy
solution to this is to memorize
conversation starters, or ideas for
beginning conversations..
Of course, you wouldn’t want to use all
of these at any time. It would probably
seem weird if you just walked up to
someone and said, “What three words
best describe you?” But
memorizing some ideas will help you
feel better about talking to people in
casual situations. You can also use
these to keep conversations going
when talking to exchange partners.
6. Learn and Study Phrases
Speaking English fluently means being able to express your
thoughts, feelings and ideas. Your goal is to speak English in
full sentences, so why not learn it in full sentences? You’ll find
that English is more useful in your everyday life if you study
whole phrases, rather than just vocabulary and verbs. Start by
thinking about phrases that you use frequently in your native
language, and then learn how to say them in English.
9. Talk Yourself Through Processes
Think about all the things you might do that have a
beginning, a middle and an end. For example,
following a recipe when cooking dinner, or putting
together a piece of furniture.
10. Talk Yourself Through Processes
These processes are opportunities to improve your
English speaking skills. Write out instructions for a
process in English on a piece of paper. Make it as
simple as possible and number your steps. For
cooking something, your instructions might start like
this:
Peel the garlic.
Dice the garlic.
Peel the onions.
Slice the onions.
11. Learn from Everyone
You don’t have to only learn English from textbooks
and teachers—anyone who speaks English can help
you practice.
Imagine how you would feel if someone asked you, in
your native language, how to pronounce something?
Would you be angry? No! You’d probably be happy
to help, just like most English speakers are happy to
help you.
If you know any English speakers, whether it’s a
friend or co-worker, take advantage of the
opportunity to practice and learn from them.
