Hi Friends...My New Blog on How to Speak English Well Part 1

English is not the language, it has become a standard in India. I have observed so many times we are facing problems and I am one of them. In this blog, I have shared Some Simple Tips for Extraordinary Fluency.

Let's Start:

1. Learn What It Means to Be Fluent in English

You know that you want to become fluent in English, but what does that mean? There are two parts to fluency: knowing the language and knowing how to produce the language. Being fluent means that you can use the English language comfortably. You can communicate freely and you can have conversations with native speakers without having to constantly look for help. Fluency can also be seen in how you speak. You can know plenty of English vocabulary, but if you have to pause or repeat a lot when speaking, your fluency might not be so obvious to someone. If you speak very slowly or in a very flat, unemotional manner, then you would not sound very fluent, either.

On the other hand, sounding fluent does not mean you actually are speaking good English. To be fluent in English, you need to master both the language and how you speak it!

2. Set Specific Goals Fluency is a very high level to reach and will take a long time to achieve, so becoming fluent can be a pretty unclear goal. Having such a big, non-specific target would not be helpful in planning out your studies.
That is why you should think of more concrete and obvious goals that can lead you to fluency. By themselves, they may seem like small steps, but all together they will provide a steady path in your English learning journey. Good goals should be specific and achievable. When setting a goal, you should decide exactly what you want to learn, and how long you want to spend learning it.

Here are some examples of good goals:
>> Learn 30 new English words in 30 days
>> Have a conversation with a native English speaker this week
>> Learn to conjugate five irregular verbs before your next tutoring lesson
>> Perfect your pronunciation of 10 words over the weekend
Make sure that the goals you set are reasonable and challenging enough to keep you motivated. You want to achieve your goals without over-stressing yourself!

3. Accept That English Is a Weird Language Sometimes, you can find patterns in English grammar, but other times English does not make sense at all. For example, why are read (pronounced reed) and read (pronounced red) the same word, but said differently depending on whether you are speaking in the past or present tense. Or why are mice the plural of mouse, but houses is the plural of the house?
Unfortunately, there are many exceptions to English rules. It is easy to get stuck on learning how to speak English properly if you try to find a reason for everything. Sometimes, English is just weird! So the best thing to do is just memorize the strange exceptions and move on.

4. Figure Out Your Weak Spots You might find some parts of the English language are especially difficult for you. These weak spots can be anything: grammar usage, pronunciation, sentence formation, and so on. It is important that you find out what they are so that you can focus on improving them.
English does have a lot of tricky features, and some can be even trickier depending on your native language. Pay attention to what you are having problems with and dedicate more studying to it.

You want to make sure you improve in all parts of the English language without lagging behind in any of them.

5. Dive into the Deep End Studying English for an hour once a week is not usually enough to make any real progress. The best way to quickly improve your English is to spend at least a few minutes practicing every day.

There is a special language learning method called immersion. With immersion, you try to surround yourself in the language as much as you can in your day-to-day activities. You want English to become part of your daily schedule so that you are frequently learning and practicing until it becomes natural to hear and speak the language.

You can create immersion in a lot of fun, creative ways, besides just constantly studying English from a book or a course! You can switch your phone settings to the English language. You can start watching and listening to English movies and songs, keep an English diary, or volunteer in a place where English is required.
