most fun and rewarding parts of learning
English. Once you can speak even a little English, there are loads of
ways to improve your skills quickly while having tons of fun. Here are ten top
tips for improving your spoken English and having a great time while you do it!
Speak
Be confident and speak as often
as possible to as many people as you possibly can! Do not be shy to make
mistakes! The more you practice the better and more confident you will become
in your pronunciation and vocabulary. Remember, speaking is a skill like
learning a musical instrument or new sport – the only way you can get good is
to actually do it!
Listen
Listen to news bulletins and
songs in English to listen to the pronunciation of words. You can also learn
new words and expressions this way. The more you listen, the more you learn!
Try copying what you hear to practise your pronunciation and learn which words
in a sentence are stressed.
Read out loud
Read the newspaper or a magazine
out to yourself. You could even find a script for your favorite TV show and act it out! This is a great way to practice pronunciation because you only need
to concentrate on making sure you English sounds great and don’t need to worry
about sentence structure or grammar.
Learn a new word every day
Choose a word you would like to
work on and use practice it in different sentences. Use the word until you have
learnt it and keep using it regularly.
Watch films
Watch movies in English with subtitle and pay
attention to new vocabulary and pronunciation. Imitate the actors and have fun
with it.
Make friends

speakers or others learning to speak English and compare notes. Talk about
things that you have learnt and exchange ideas.use simple words that make u familiar to understand each others English
Do interesting activities in English
Take a cooking course in English
or join a book club! Anything you enjoy doing, make sure you do it and
communicate it in English. Using English to talk about things you enjoy will
make practicing a positive experience.
Have a debate
Debate all the topics that
interest you with friends in English. Try to use as much vocabulary as you can
to get your point across and listen to the other arguments carefully so you can
argue against them effectively.
Use a dictionary
Online dictionaries often have
audio examples so you can check your pronunciation and there are lots of great
dictionary apps that you can take everywhere with you on your smartphone. Make
sure not to become too reliant on these tools, though. Have a go at saying the
words first then check afterwards to see if you were right!
