WAYS TO
IMPROVE THE
WAY YOU SPEAK
ENGLISH
Namrata
Can I 'neutralize' my accent?
Yes, you can. All you need to do
is train yourself to speak English
as comfortably and perfectly as
you speak your mother tongue.
Way’s to speak not American or
British English, but correct
English.
• Observe the mouth movements of those who speak
English well and try to imitate them.
• Until you learn the correct intonation and rhythm
of English, slow your speech down.
• Listen to the 'music' of English.
• Use the dictionary.
• Make a list of frequently used words that you
find difficult to pronounce and ask someone who
speaks the language well to pronounce them for
you.
• Buy books on tape.
• Pronounce the ending of each word.
• Read aloud in English for 15-20 minutes every
day.
• Record your own voice and listen for
pronunciation mistakes.
• Be patient.
Quick tips
• Focus on removing the mother tongue influence and
the 'Indianisms' that creep into your English
conversations.
• Watch the English news on television channels like
Star World, CNN, BBC and English movies on Star
Movies and HBO.
• Listen to and sing English songs. I recommend
Westlife, Robbie Williams Abba, MLTR and Connie
Francis among others.
English speaking tips
• Get over any fear you might have of making
mistakes. You will make mistakes.
Be patient with yourself. Learning any language can
be frustrating, but frustration won't help you, so let it
go.
• Grasp every opportunity you have to speak with
people in English.
English speaking tips
• Talk to friends who are also learning English. Go out
together for coffee and only speak English to each
other!
• Read short stories out loud and try to see, say and
hear the words to reinforce your memory. Record
yourself and play it back later, how does it sound?
Find English speaking friends:-
You might not be able to find any friendly native
speakers where you live, but you can find English
speaking people on the Internet! If you can't find
anyone who'll actually help you, don't worry, you'll
still be able to figure out if they can understand you.
There are several internet based voice chat
programs out there: I Visit, Pal Talk , Yahoo
Messenger, Google Talk , Skype and I'm sure
there are lots more
Look for people with the same interests as you.
It's no good asking everyone you meet to help
you with your English, rather develop natural
friendships based on your hobbies etc.
Eventually you will make friends and they will
be much more likely to give you correction /
guidance.
Visit an American/English/Australian theme pub
or British food shop, you can usually find one in
the larger cities. Often, the waiters and
waitresses speak good English, the menu is often
in English too!
Once your English is good enough, go shopping
in some tourist areas. You'll find lots of shop
assistants speak very good English.
If you can travel to an English speaking country,
do it.
Singing
• Try singing along to English songs. With
friends or in the privacy of your own
bathroom.
• !On the network:- Use the pronunciation pages to
improve your understanding. !On this site:- You can
find some karaoke resources and ideas on the learn
English through songs page.
• !On the Network: You can find the words to
some popular songs on the English magazine
Pronunciation skills
Accents really don't matter any more. You can
spend a fortune and waste a lot of time trying to
"get rid of" your accent, time and money that you
could spend learning more English. So, unless you
are up for a role in a film, don't worry about your
accent too much. That said, people need to be able
to understand you, so pronunciation and
enunciation are important.
Learn the phonetic alphabet
List words that have the same sound add to the lists as
you learn more words.
For example words that rhyme with me:-
Work on one problem sound at a time. Read
slowly concentrating on the pronunciation of
particular words. Record yourself, keep the
tape and record yourself later, have you
improved? Don't be shy - ask a friend to listen
to the tape too.
Don't worry about sounding like a native, it is
more important to speak clearly and
pleasantly than it is to sound like the Queen of
England - Even the Queen of England doesn't
sound like she used to.
The most important thing to think about is
can people understand you? If you have a
problem being understood then find someone
who speaks English clearly and try to copy
the way they speak. Pay particular attention
to speed and enunciation.
Thank you

  • 1. WAYS TO IMPROVE THE WAY YOU SPEAK ENGLISH Namrata
  • 2. Can I 'neutralize' my accent? Yes, you can. All you need to do is train yourself to speak English as comfortably and perfectly as you speak your mother tongue.
  • 3. Way’s to speak not American or British English, but correct English.

  • 5. • Make a list of frequently used words that you find difficult to pronounce and ask someone who speaks the language well to pronounce them for you. • Buy books on tape. • Pronounce the ending of each word. • Read aloud in English for 15-20 minutes every day.
  • 6. • Record your own voice and listen for pronunciation mistakes. • Be patient.
  • 7. Quick tips • Focus on removing the mother tongue influence and the 'Indianisms' that creep into your English conversations. • Watch the English news on television channels like Star World, CNN, BBC and English movies on Star Movies and HBO. • Listen to and sing English songs. I recommend Westlife, Robbie Williams Abba, MLTR and Connie Francis among others.

  • 10. Find English speaking friends:- You might not be able to find any friendly native speakers where you live, but you can find English speaking people on the Internet! If you can't find anyone who'll actually help you, don't worry, you'll still be able to figure out if they can understand you.
  • 11. There are several internet based voice chat programs out there: I Visit, Pal Talk , Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk , Skype and I'm sure there are lots more
  • 12. Look for people with the same interests as you. It's no good asking everyone you meet to help you with your English, rather develop natural friendships based on your hobbies etc. Eventually you will make friends and they will be much more likely to give you correction / guidance.
