English Speaking
The only normal way to begin speaking in a new language is to begin speaking badly.
HOW TO LEARN
- You can’t acquire speaking skills if you fail to seriously invest in the foundation stage of learning pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. So, if you feel that you aren’t stable in the initial stage, let’s return to fostering them now rather than wasting your time and getting bored while trying to speak a lot but ineffective.
- Practice speaking from simple conversations collected through the Listening process. Collaborating with friends (online/offline) will be more productive.
- If you can’t find a partner, just industriously practice like the process of learning Listening by listening to and imitating native speakers, along with recording your voice for self-assessment or asking someone to comment.
- Communicate with predecessors to learn from their experience and request them to correct mistakes.
- Practice speaking slowly and clearly before speaking well. To possess a good voice, you need to pronounce words clearly and roundly, and pay attention to intonation, the rules of connecting sounds, breathing, pausing, volume, expression, and body language.
- When completing the basic stage, create a separate vocabulary set for Speaking and practice by topic (IELTS), as many Speaking vocabulary will be different from Writing. If you want to boost your speaking skills, you need to control grammar with fluency.
- Thinking in English or communicating reflectively is only for those who already acquired basic vocabulary and phrases, so new students should not worry too much about this issue.
Learning a new language is a long process of acquiring knowledge and sharpening skills. Just diligently study and practice without too concentrating on the exams as the score or grade is merely the evident outcome of the ceaseless progress. Just focus on how to learn so that you can use the language fluently and confidently. So, let’s begin learning and persevering with them.
