1.Listen first.
One of the best English speaking tips is to listen carefully to understandable English EVERY DAY.Most people turn to textbooks to study English grammar rules,but you can not learn the correct English pronunciation of the words merely by reading them.You do not need to learn grammar in detail because this can prevent you from speaking English fluently.
Instead,listen to how native English speakers pronounce and observe their mouth movements.Also watch English shows and movies to build on your English accent and improve your vocabulary.
2.Practice makes perfect.
Studies show that you'll probably spend three months of practice every day in order to have strong mouth muscles.Read aloud in English for 15to 20minutes a day in front of the mirror,which helps in accent reduction and improves your English communication skills.
Also,practice with your friends and family.Talking with a good English speaker can help improvise (即兴发挥) your usage of words and formation of sentences.
3.Think in English.
One of the most effective English speaking tips is to think in English.What most English learners do in the early stages of learning is that they think of what they have to say in their native language,translate and then say it in English.This can be mentally tiring.
If your goal is to speak English fluently,you need to learn"thinking"in English.Make up the sentences in English as you think about them before saying them.With practice,you will be able to respond automatically in English.
4.Be more confident.
All these English speaking tips will be in vain if you are not that confident in your English speaking skills.It is quite natural to commit errors when learning a new language.
Try to relax if you're speaking in English.When you speak at a normal speed,you'll discover that you will be able to pronounce the words correctly and people will understand you.Most of the time,the person you are talking to is not even aware of your errors.
In a word,learning English does not happen overnight.It takes a lot of time,effort and practice.Don't get too frustrated and never give up.Follow these English speaking tips and practice daily.Soon,you would learn to speak English fluently as if it is your own language.
