•Finding an appropriate partner

First of all, it’s important to find

native speakers to practice with.
Students who are living around
many English speakers may be
able to find informal
opportunities to chat with
neighbors and local business
people. Joining a club or a
volunteer organization can be a
great way to get to know people
informally.
•Record your conversation

Recording is a great way to get

the maximum benefit from a
conversation with a native
speaker. When you listen again,
you can evaluate your own
pronunciation and notice areas
where you need to improve. You
can also review the content of
the conversation, take notes on
new vocabulary or
misunderstandings, and prepare
questions for the next meeting.
•Practice with Music and Movies

Listen to music in English and

sing along. Music is one of the
best tools for learning intonation
pronunciation. Listening to and
singing songs might also help
you remember vocabulary and
phrases (if the song is easy to
understand), and it will help you
learn to pronounce English
rhythm in a more natural way.
You’ll learn vocabulary, idioms,
slang, pronunciation, and
listening by watching movies.
•Read aloud

Reading out loud is a great way to

practice speaking when there are no
conversation partners available.
Reading aloud gives you a chance to
focus on pronunciation and pacing
without worrying about coming up
with words. Make sure to practice
with material that you can
understand. Some students find
videos online that have transcripts. By
reading aloud from a transcript, you
can check your pronunciation by
listening to how the speaker says
something.
•Talk to yourself

Saying your thoughts out loud or

narrating your actions (“I am
drinking coffee, and now I’m going
to open my book”) can be a very
effective way to practice spoken
English. By talking to yourself, you
can become more fluent in
translating your thoughts into
spoken words. Practicing alone is
also a low-pressure way to
practice, since no one will hear
your mistakes.
 •Write a journal everyday

To start a journal, you just need to be

willing to write. You don’t have to
write well, you just need to want to do
it. You don’t even need to decide what
to write, you just need to let your
words flow. When you’re writing, it is
helpful to be in a space where you can
focus and concentrate. A quiet room
with no distractions works best. Allow
yourself to focus on your writing,
without any interruptions
 •Focus on fluency not grammar

When you speak in English,

how often do you stop?
The more you stop, the less
confident you sound and the
less comfortable you become.
Challenge yourself to speak
without stopping or stammering
(taking pauses between your
words) the entire time. If you
focus on speaking fluently
instead of correctly, you’ll still
be understood and you’ll sound
better. You can fill in the correct
grammar and word rules as you
learn them better.
 •Use a Mirror

Whenever you can, take a few

minutes out of your day to stand in
front of the mirror and speak.
The point of this exercise is to
watch your mouth, face and body
language as you speak. It also
makes you feel like you’re talking to
someone. Talk for the full 2 or 3
minutes. Don’t stop! If you get
stuck on a word you don’t know, try
expressing your idea in a different
way. This will definitely help you
find out what kinds of words or
sentences you have trouble with.
 •Try some tongue twisters

Tongue twisters are series of words

that are difficult to say quickly.
One example is: “The thirty-three
thieves thought that they thrilled
the throne throughout Thursday.”
Try saying this a few times! It’s not
easy.
Word games like this will help you
find the right placement for your
mouth and tongue, and can even
help your pronunciation.
 •Listen and Repeat

Choose a short part of a show and

repeat it line by line. Try to match
the tone, speed and even the
accent (if you can). It doesn’t
matter if you miss a few words, the
important thing is to keep talking.
Try to sound just like the native
speakers on the show.
 •Learn word forms with new words

Some practice comes before

you even open your mouth.
Make speaking easier by
learning the different forms
of any words you learn. You
should do this when
you’re learning new
vocabulary. For example, if
you just learned the
word write, you should also
learn some other forms
like wrote and written.
 •Learn your Most Common Sayings

Take some time to really notice

how you speak in your native
language.
What words and phrases do you
use the most often?
Learn how to say your most
commonly used phrases and
words in English. Knowing them in
English will help you speak as well
in English as you do in your native
language.
 •Relax

You can be your best helper or

your worst enemy when learning
to speak fluently! We know it’s
hard, but you should try not to
worry about how you sound
when you speak. Just relax!
If you get stuck or confused, just
take a big breath and start over.
Speak slower if you have to. Take
time to pause and think about
your next sentence.
Do whatever it takes to become
more comfortable with speaking
English.
 •Prepare for specific situations

Are you learning English for a specific

reason? For example, are you
learning English so you can get a job
in an English-speaking company? In
that case, practice English that
will help you in an interview. Before
you go to a place where you have to
speak English, you can practice what
you might have to say. If you’re
preparing to go to a restaurant, what
might conversations in a restaurant
sound like? Answer the questions a
waiter might ask you. Try talking
about food and menus.
You’ll feel more confident if you’re
prepared!
 •Tell a story in English

Here’s a fun way to test how well

your spoken English has
developed: choose a story that you
know really well and tell it in
English.
Remember to think in English as
you’re telling your story. Focus on
speaking fluently instead of
correctly. Say every sentence out
loud to yourself.
Even if you have nobody to talk to
in English, you can still build
confidence and master fluency on
your own time.
In some ways, practicing speaking
is even easier by yourself!
