6 Ways to Improve Your Spoken English Skills

Reports say that inadequate English is one of the key factors holding back students, especially those from smaller towns. The ability to speak and write in flawless English is one of the most important parameters used by the employers in India. 

According to the present statistics, more than half of all engineers (52%) would not be fluent in a majority of words that are used with regular frequency in the workplace. Hereby, I am sharing 6 solid and doable suggestions (personally experienced) and would expect you to start working on them right away,

(1) Buy or borrow a Grammar Book and revise the following 8 tenses (go through the solved examples, learn them, practice the exercises and also get them crosschecked by your friend or teacher), 

• Simple Present 
• Simple Past 
• Simple Future 
• Present Continuous 
• Past Continuous 
• Future Continuous 
• Present Perfect 
• Past Perfect 

(2) Start reading at least 2 newspaper articles (long or short) of your choice and collect new words from them and note them in a notebook properly. Remember, when you read these articles, try to read them loud and clear (you need to hear your own voice while reading). If in case you get confused with their meaning or pronunciation (feel free to take help from Google). Plus revise ALL those new words (with their meaning in Hindi or English) daily in the morning. 

(3) Watch one video (of 15 to 20 minutes) from TED daily and watch the same video at least three times to get appropriate understanding. Don't worry if you don't understand it initially (you can also use the subtitles plus transcript), but make sure you watch it three times at least. 

(4) Make a promise to yourself that you will try to speak in English even if you make mistakes (don't bother about what people would think of you!). Remember, you are learning and the ones who are truly concerned about you, would never laugh at you (rather they will encourage you) and if someone laughs, just ignore the reaction. Try giving presentations, speeches, talks as and when possible. And prepare for them extra hard! 

(5) If you don't find people around you to practice your English skills, talk to yourself in English (Yes, you heard it right!). It might sound a bit strange or odd, but I followed the same practice and it gave me huge returns.

(6) Work hard, practice sincerely and I am sure you will make it happen. Remember, failure is NOT the opposite of success, it's just a stepping stone to Success.
