It can be a frightening experience for people to visit a new place, because most people are not comfortable with --- English. So how can you keep away from this kind of situation? Learn how to speak English fluently. Here are four English speaking tips you must know to become a more confident English speaker.
1.Listen first.
Listen carefully to understandable English every day. Most people turn to textbooks to study English grammar rules, but you cannot learn the correct English pronunciation of the words only 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 watch their mouth movements carefully. Also watch English shows and movies to develop your spoken English and improve your vocabulary.
2.Practice makes perfect.
Read aloud in English for 15 to 20 minutes a day in front of the mirror, which helps in pronunciation 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 form of sentences.
3.Think in English.
At the beginning, most English learners usually think of what they have to say in their native language, translate and then say it in English. This can be tiring in the mind. 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.
4.Be more confident.
All these tips will be for nothing if you are not that confident in your English speaking skills. It is quite natural to make mistakes 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 even doesn’t know your mistakes.
In a word, learning English does not happen overnight. It takes a lot of time, effort and practice. Don’t lose confidence and never give up. Follow these tips and practice every day. Soon, you would learn to speak English fluently as if it is your own language.
