English has become the most common mode of communication in today’s era. Particularly, in a multi-lingual country like India, English is the binding factor in several cases. Today, it is visible that speaking English is not the privilege of any specific class. Businesses and jobs need people to speak English for the purpose of communication. Are you also looking for how to learn to speak English? Read this blog by Ms. Sonu Goel, Founder, and Director of Café Converse Delhi’s Top English Learning Institute shares important factors to speak fluent English.
The open economy has brought the world closer. People are becoming more educated and job prospects are widening on the horizon. Hence, today several people need the skill of spoken English in an attempt to make a mark in society. However, there are few factors that non-native English speakers should keep in mind before starting to learn English.
Enrol Yourself in ‘Spoken English’ Learning Classes
Several learning centers have come up everywhere given the high demand for communicative English. You too can take assistance from such centers to learn the basics of communicating in English. They can shape your foundation.
Do Not Be Afraid
Yes, the most common thing that holds people back from speaking fluent English is the fear of errors. When you learn something new, there is scope for many mistakes. Never pressurize yourself to speak perfect English right from the start. Make mistakes as will help you to learn.
Do Not Lose Out on Confidence
Many people stop trying when they cannot speak English post taking speaking classes. Or probably a person’s smirk and sarcastic words have made you feel shy. Always remember, you are attempting to learn something new which is a courageous thing in itself. Never let any comments or even failure weigh you down. Keep learning and attempting.
Do Not Attempt to Fake the Pronunciation
English like several other languages has varied tones according to region. Indian English is quite different from American English which is again different from British English. Each zone has its own different tone. Thus, never try to fake a particular accent and rather focus on phonetics (the sounds of letters). In this manner, you will seamlessly form an authentic accent of your own.
Listen to English News or Other Broadcasts in English
Going to spoken-English institutes are just the foundation. In order to develop a proper structure, you should listen to plenty of English conversation to train your brain.
Focus on Grammar
Several people learning English post reaching adulthood, tries to translate sentences word by word. Rather, you must know the grammar of this language in order to speak proper sentences. Do not just translate what you say in your language to English. You should know the rules of sentence construction. There is never a shortcut.
Think Everything in English
When you are learning a new language, you should stick to it at all times. You need to think in English if you wish to speak fluently. For instance, we have endless thoughts each moment. You only have to become a bit conscious and look to think in English as much as possible. This will sharpen your speaking skills and at the same time provide you the confidence to speak out loud.
Memorize Small Paragraphs
When you are learning to speak, it is important to memorize certain things initially. You can start by mugging up small paragraphs simply like you did when you started learning the basics of your native language. Memorize, say out loud and repeat with multiple paragraphs.
Talk to English Speaking Friends
Most of you might have someone or the other you know who speaks in English. Have them and ask them to speak with you in English. This will always work and you will learn the skills of speaking in no time. Understand that several children going to English medium schools are never taught ‘Spoken English’. They learn it all by themselves by talking with their friends and teachers in English, over the years. You also do the same.
Listen to English Songs
Music has a great impact on learning. Remember how would you memorize entire rhymes when it was in a song format. Just like that listen to basic English rhymes and gradually listen to English songs so that English as a language will gradually start to reach your subconscious level. It will enhance your speaking skills.
Keep Practice
Speaking fluently will come naturally to you if you practice the language regularly. While you are in your learning stage, you should practice relentlessly. Write letters or short paragraphs or a diary and get it checked by someone who knows the language.
