reading and speaking in English.

11. PRACTISE WRITING
 Whenever you have free time practice writing on any
topic of interest using small sentences in small
paragraphs of ten lines.
 You have more time to think while writing than while
speaking.

12. START PRACTISING
 To have a quick start to your spoken English you must
start speaking ( rather copying ) the standard English
sentences used for everyday communication. Start
talking with your siblings and friends.

13. VOCABULARY BUILDING

14. VOCABULARY BUILDING
 Start building vocabulary on a daily basis:
 Find meaning and pronunciation for five new words
everyday with the help of your mobile on Google.
 Find five English words for five Tamil ( or mother
tongue) words using Google Translate daily.

15. VOCABULARY BUILDING
 Find out the English names for whatever you see and
hear in your mother tongue or Tamil.

16. BUILD SELF CONFIDENCE
 Use the voice recorder in your mobile to record your
voice while reading newspaper or while practicing
spoken English. You should become confident by
hearing your voice often and becoming familiar with it.
By doing this you can improve your accent,
pronunciation and on the whole the English language.

17. EXPERIMENT ON SOCIAL
MEDIA
 Write complete sentences instead of using
abbreviations on WhatsApp, Facebook , Twitter and all
other Social Media. Also use voice messages in
WhatsApp.

18. VISUALIZATION
 Everyday visualize with total faith as if you are
speaking English fluently.

19. IMITATE
 Always observe carefully any good English speaker so
that you can copy from them the style and choice of
words in English language ( the syntax, vocabulary,
gestures and style)

20. EXPERIMENT
 Communicate only in English in the class room with
other students and your professors.

21. INITIATIVE
 You only have to take the initiative and constant effort
to get rid of fear, shyness and lack of confidence.

22. PERFECTION
 Finally Practise …. Practise … Practise …. Soon you will
perfect the language.
