English has emerged as a global language, and with this comes a need to speak English fluently and confidently like a native speaker. Firstly, understand that learning English is just not about knowing the nuances of grammar. You need to step out of the classroom and start speaking. We do agree, it is not that simple, but some of our tips and tricks might help you to be confident English speaker.
Read as much as you can
It may sound challenging and tedious, but reading helps a lot in learning English. You can start with newspapers, your social media feed, checking websites and different articles, and even your pack of chips! It is full of new words, phrases, slogans, and so much more.
Watch English movies and serials
When Rap Monster, the lead singer of the iconic South Korean band BTS, was asked by Ellen DeGeneres how he learned such fluent English? His answer was by watching the television series “Friends” many times. That is how powerful medium television and movies are for learning! It is an excellent source to increase your vocabulary.
Start with phrases not words
One of the most convenient hacks for bringing fluency in your English communication is to start learning phrases more than words. Sometimes the most common mistake we do while speaking in English is trying to translate every word in English. The result is a jumbled-up sentence which makes no sense. When we use frequently used phrases, you are much confident, and there are fewer chances of mistakes.
Don’t try to correct your grammar every time
We are not saying that you should not keep in mind the rules of grammar; instead, we are stressing that you should not think about them all the time. Sometimes, the overthinking of rules hampers the fluency of conversation. Everyone can understand you even if your grammar is not perfect. Forgive yourself and be patient in the quest of learning.
Start Speaking English
All the tricks mentioned above won’t work unless you start speaking English regularly. Start exposing yourself to the language as much as you can. Surround yourself with English-speaking crowd and communicate with them every day. Start by setting small goals and most importantly, accept that you will make mistakes and don’t be bothered by it.
With hard work, persistence and determination, you can speak English fluently. Good Luck!
