English speaking tips

Here you will find some tips on how to improve your English conversation skills.

Fluency

The main goal is fluency. Remember that you don't have to know many complex grammatical structures to achieve that goal! First of all try to speak as fluent as possible (even making some grammar mistakes). Then, after making your speaking fluent, you can focus on grammar aspects.

English vocabulary learning

  Many people think that knowing a lot of words is a key to fluent speaking. It's true! However, there are many people who have wide idiolect and problem with fluency. They try to learn more and more words because they think vocabulary is their problem. They don't realize the problem is somewhere else. They always try to use exact translation of the word they want to use, but it causes that they often get stuck.

  If you have same problem remember that almost all words can be swapped by some other words. If you'll be speaking and suddenly stop, trying to get to your mind translation of some word, forget it! Try to say what you have on mind in other words - practicing it is a real key to fluent English conversation!

Learn English by practice

  Of course the best way of practice are English conversations with other people. You can find some people who want to talk to you online on our website. We recommend to contact with other person using communicator which provides voice chat (like Skype). However, in case you don't have possibility to use such, it's better to practise by standard chatting than not practicing at all.

So the most important thing you have to remember is:

The more you practice, the more fluent your English speaking is :)

Good luck!

Learn English in Two Easy Steps

WHY ENGLISH?

Today the whole world is buzzing with English and internet has shorten the world. Both English language and Internet together have brought the whole world right in your drawing room. Now you can do whatever you want to without leaving the comfort of your home .So English is has become a must have. Nothing is imaginable without it. How to solve the problem? Here is the solution!

Only Two Easy Steps Take only Two easy Steps and learn English with as ease as you say 1,2,3. If you really want to learn this language, don't run after the written track of learning English as it hampers your progress, it is a stumbling block in

your way of learning English. Simply follow the two simple steps and learn English.

FIRST STEP

No speech (speaking) can be imagined without listening. Develop a habit of listening to something in English daily. I mean to say, listen to English songs , listen to short stories, listen to interviews and listen to short and simple conversations regularly.' Listen and listen and listen on. Repeat listening what you have just listened. Not once but many times. Do you know why I am exhorting you to listen so much. Perhaps not. If so, please answer this simple question: How does a child become able to speak? It is simple. He/She is compelled to listen whatever their parents and people around them speak. Gradually they begin to reproduce what they have heard. I think you have got the point. So enjoy listening. Listening practice will fix correct pronunciation of the words in your mind and you'll be able to utter them as naturally and easily as a native speaker does. Don't take this task easily .It requires a lot patience and perseverance on your part .you can gradually develop it if only you are bent on to.

SECOND STEP

Speak what you have listened, as the more you listen, the more you will be able to speak and the more learning of the language will occur. So go on practicing speaking whatever you have heard. Furthermore speaking practice will train your mouth and ears. The main ideas of what you have listened and spoken will get fixed into your memory. Once the structures of sentences, phrases get fixed in your subconscious you'll never have to fumble for words, phrases or sentences when you converse with your friends or with someone else. The words will smoothly and fluently roll out of your mouth. You won't falter. Your progress in conversation will not get hampered. When you have taken these two steps , you will find amazing change. Now you can start to put in a little time in reading and writing skills as reading and writing skills have their own importance and place in a language learning and you can develop them on the strong foundation of listening and speaking skills later.

You must be thinking where to get listening and speaking material. You'll find a lot exercises on listening speaking skills at my blog below.
