FIVE TIPS to Speak English Fluently


Are you looking for Tips to Improve English? Read the following aloud:
1. Think in English
What happens if English is your second language and you have to hold a Conversation in English? There is a likelihood that while framing sentences you'll think of the right words in your native language. STOP THINKING IN YOUR MOTHER TONGUE. Your THOUGHTS must be formed only in the ENGLISH language.
Now, look at this picture and think of FIVE English words that describe it.
Write these 5 words as Comment to this post.










2. The idea of Communication
When you speak English, always remember it is a means of communication and not a test of language.
Look at this image:

The smile itself communicates the message of happiness. You might not even have to hunt for an advanced level of Vocabulary for the same.
So, to speak English fluently, consider the language as a medium to convey your message.







3.Do Not Think Aloud
Have you ever thought how the listeners feel when you introduce yourself as "I am 'aaaa' John; 'eeeeaaa' living in 'aaaamm' New York."? Yes, you sound strange, unsure and maybe less confident!
That's why it is advisable NOT to think aloud especially by making sounds like 'ahh', 'aaaamm', 'aaaa'; the list goes on.
Join my online English class on I Speak You Speak English where I'll teach you how to overcome this problem of thinking aloud while speaking.

4. Known Vocabulary
Forget it! Difficult words used incorrectly fail to impress even the most illiterate audience. Pick up words whose meaning and application you understand. It could be phrases as simple as a 'bright girl'. When you are confident of the words you are using in the Conversation, your fluency improves considerably.

5. Speak Daily
You want everyone to admire the confidence with which you use the English language. You have to work hard for it. Speak English every day. Read books, newspapers, websites but SPEAK SPEAK and SPEAK.

Speaking in Public

Scene 1
As you set the mike in front of your mouth, your legs start trembling and eyes gazing at the huge crowd eager to listen to your speech. You swallow hard, wipe away the beads of sweat from your forehead and open a small piece of paper. After clearing your throat almost three times, you start with the Introductions. By the time you recah the fifth sentence, you have already moved your head down to read from the paper. The subsequent paragraphs are actually read from the written script as by now you know you have already spoiled the fun of speaking.


Scene 2
As you set the mike in front of your mouth, you smile and the crowd cheers as the excitement reaches your eyes. You are confident that the listeners will love what you are going to speak and narrate. You know you are going to talk about your own strengths and achievements; presented in a form that suits and appeals to the audience. You are happy to have this unique opportunity to ‘sing the melody’ and transform indiscernible information into material knowledge. As you deliver the GOLDEN WORDS, the listeners raise their eyebrows, smile and clap. Most of those who were leaning or sitting aback, straighten up as their interest gets incited in your speech. The speech is so awesome that the listeners grow sad that it ends; but, are at the same time satisfied that they got a chance to listen to an orator like you who never used a paper!


The good part about both the scenes is that the outcome of your attitude and behaviour is predictable. Why then take a chance by not preparing well for your speech?

Which is more important?

As I teach English daily, I often wonder what my students want to learn in the I Speak You Speak English classes. When it comes to choosing from Vocabulary, Grammar or Pronunciation; the question moulds itself to "How to teach all these essential elements to my students?"
To answer it straight, I use media files, play YouTubes and show PPT's in the classes to place the learners in a real-life English-Speaking Environment. From there on the participants hold Live Conversations in the sessions and get instant feedback from me. I often correct them on the Singular-Plural Rule, Tenses or appropriate usage of Words.

What and how do you as a student expect to learn from an online class where the teacher leads you in a practice session on Speaking English?

While holding these Conversations, we need to speak the right words at the right time.
