Practice speaking daily


Stay consistent and talk out loud every day even if you're just talking to yourself. Talk about your day, describe objects or share stories. Repetition helps build fluency and confidence.

Listen to fluent speakers


Watch interviews or podcasts in the language you're learning. Observe tone, pace and pronunciation. Try repeating after the speaker in real time.

Expand your vocabulary 


Read newspapers, books or blogs to discover new expressions. Learn 3 to 5 new words daily and try to use them in sentences. Practice using synonyms.


Record yourself


Record your conversations or short speeches on the phone. Play them back to catch mistakes in tone or pronunciation. Keep working on weak areas after each session. 


Join speaking groups


Participate in group debates or discussions and interact with diverse speakers to boost adaptability. Getting feedback from others helps you learn faster.


Focus on pronunciation 


Use apps like Google Translate to hear correct pronunciations. Practice tongue twisters to improve clarity in your words. Break words into syllables to pronounce them correctly.


Read Aloud


Reading books or articles helps you get comfortable with sentence structure and rhythm.


Learn sentence stress


Emphasize on key words while speaking. It makes your speech sound more engaging and natural. It also helps to improve expressiveness in your sentence.


Use body language


Use gestures and maintain eye contact while talking. A good posture and expression adds confidence and helps convey your message more effectively. 


Stay Patient and Positive


Do not fear making mistakes, they are a part of learning. Track your progress weekly to stay motivated. Celebrate small improvements regularly.
