How to Speak English

With practice, you can learn to speak the English language very well.

Steps

1. Get a good dictionary. If you need to, a dictionary to translate between your first language and English is best.

2. Practice everyday by checking your pronunciation, and learning a few new words.

3. Listen to people who speak English. If they talk too fast, kindly ask them to speak slower.

4. Learn the grammar with careful study. A teacher may be best for this.

5. Talk in English with other speakers, especially those who speak it as a first language.

6. Think in English when you have learned it well. Translation in your brain can become confusing after certain points.

7. Read Simple English in your spare time, such resources can be found at the Simple English Wikipedia and books written for young children.

Tips

· Read aloud, so you are aware of how you speak.

· If you have English classes in school, listen and study as much as possible. The hard work will reward you with a master of the language.

Warnings

· Learning English requires a lot of practice and determination, so don't try to learn everything at once, but don't ever give up!

· Focus on pronunciation when you speak, since there are many silent letters in English as in French.

· It is harder to learn if you do not speak it as a first language, but if you are determined to learn, you will become very fluent.

· The best way to speak English well is to listen to English as much as possible.

Things You'll Need

· A dictionary with your own language and English to start with, and a normal English Dictionary later on.

How to Become an Advanced English Speaker

How to go from a beginner to advanced (in English).

Steps

1. Read English constantly, whether it is books like Harry Potter or non-fiction, scholarly works.

2. Watch English television, such as news programmes (e.g. BBC Worlds can be viewed in many parts of the worlds). While watching shows with words that you may not understand, while using a notebook and pen, write the word down (how you think it is spelt) and then find its correct spelling and find out what the word means.

3. Do not have subtitles when watching tv series or movies.

4. Read aloud in order to build both your written and spoken vocabulary.

5. Practice writing a lot. Essays, article contributions, blogging, etc.

6. Communicate as much as possible in English.

7. Make use of the dictionary or thesaurus.

8. Be relaxed and confident when speaking English.

9. Build English vocabulary at the appropriate level; otherwise you will remain an average English speaker.

Tips

· Grammar is very important. Lay yourself a good grammar foundation and your English will improve exponentially. Nevertheless, don't get bogged down and held back by grammar rules. You want to speak the language, not learn how it's spoken.

· Grammar is not only about sentence/verb formations. You should understand the implied meaning associated with the grammar used.

· Try to think in English instead of your mother tongue/the language you are familiar with.

· Use an English dictionary instead of a bilingual dictionary (as you progress).

· Practice using natural English instead of finding the English equivalents from your mother tongue.

· Watch movies in English without subtitles or English language satellite channels like BBC or CNN and try to understand it.

· Find a friend with whom you can practice English.

· Be careful of a dictionary's definition of synonyms. There are no two completely synonymous words in English. Car and automobile are said to be synonymous, but telling your English friend that you have an automobile instead of a car is unusual.

· If you learn English at school, then be as engaged as you can in those lessons, and always only speak English (if you can) there.

Warnings

· Be patient; language learning takes a while.

· Don't say "I can't do it", as long as you study English, words and phrases will be printed unconsciously into your mind.
