English has become the language of status and standard. Knowing English portrays you as a confident and knowledgeable person. To express thoughts clearly among people of different languages, English plays a crucial part in being the connector.

In this article, we have listed down some useful tips to improve your English speaking skills:
Let go of the fear:
The first stumbling block to learning English is the fear of making mistakes. ‘To err is human’ – so chill! It’s okay to mispronounce a word, it’s okay to commit grammar mistakes and it is completely okay to be stuck in the middle of a sentence. You have to face such slips and blunders to become the better version of your speaking self. What is not okay is not taking the effort to correct those mistakes. Get rid of the fear, learn, and make timely corrections.
Build your vocabulary:
The common problem among language learners is finding themselves at a loss for words. For example: While explaining a particular incident to your friend, suddenly you couldn’t find that exact word to describe something. To bridge this gap, you should work on your basic vocabulary list. Initiate the habit of reading newspapers daily. Because newspapers chronicle different incidents from several sectors which automatically covers lots of everyday words and phrases. In addition to that, you can read magazines, books and watch youtube videos to enhance the word game. When you flood your brain with lots of resources over time, the mind will automatically pick up the vocabulary when you need it the most.
Podcasts:
If you are someone who wanna go easy on learning yet gain huge knowledge, podcasts are perfect for you. Unlike videos and reading materials, listening to podcasts doesn’t require much focus. This audio-only resource gained huge traction in a short span and now, many language-specific, as well as industry-oriented podcasts, are out there to explore. Whether you are travelling, jogging, or doing household work, you can just put on your headphones and listen to a daily dose of English.
Imitate like native speakers:
Imitation as practice brings a lot to the table. Listen to a video or audio of a native speaker and try to talk in the same way. Mimic the pauses, pronunciation, and emphasis to get a hang of the language structure. Then, record yourself and cross-check with the original speakers. This way, you can easily rectify your flaws and attain fluency super fast.
Think in English
Never mix the rules of the native language with English. Each language is different in its way and one has to treat them as such. For example, We often translate native phrases into English which would sound absurd in the eyes of native speakers. So use words and phrases that are specific to a particular language in its exclusive form. Also, beginners often take time to form sentences in their minds as they constantly try to translate from their mother tongue to English. To save a chunk of time, directly shape your words in English.
Practice, Practice, Practice:
There might be a hundred complimentary tips to improve your spoken English. But the most effective tip is to actually practice it. Talking in real-time with your friends or colleagues is the best way to gauge yourself. If you fall short of a companion to practice with, just talk in front of the mirror. Real-time talking helps you check where you stand and how much improvement is needed. Follow a routine, talk on random topics (like the Internet, online shopping, favourite food), and update yourself by adding new phrases to your vocabulary.
