I always say English is a beautiful
language and if you love the language, it will love you back.
We all want to speak fluent English but some of us
fumble or go blank either while taking to someone or during a presentation. There
are multiple reasons for it, in some cases people know what they can do to
enhance their communication skills but they don’t want to work on it
First reason - People are still not well versed with English words,
which are joined together to form a sentence, secondly the grammatical
portion of English, hence people commit blunder while taking especially with
tenses. The fear of not knowing the language take control on people, which in
turn takes control on their mind and people start hating the language or avoid
it all together.
Second reason - People refrain from
speaking in English else speak only when required or with a set people whom you
are comfortable with. So, when you are speaking in front of people who are at
par with you, they may not be correct your mistake and you will continue with
it.
Some people don’t speak in English at all unless the situation arises and when they are asked to speak in English, they run out of words as well as their confidence as they haven’t used the language for long.
Third reason – People don’t put any effort to learn the language or to speak in English language. This is done by 90%
of the people, hence they lag behind.
Let’s see how we can overcome this
problem
Firstly, brush your school’s grammar once again, this will help you to
commit less mistake while speaking and you
will be able to learn new words also.
Secondly, try to speak in English with your friends and encourage
them also speak in English only especially with you. When group of people is
large then, they may come forward to correct each other mistakes and the initial
inhibition of talking to someone in English will vanish over period of time. It
will make you more confident to speak in English
English can’t be taught overnight, one
to really work hard towards learning it. Daily try to spend 30 minutes to learn
the language so that you can enhance your skills. 15 mins to read English
newspaper, read slowly and carefully. Spend the next 15 minutes in listening to
English news, sit down and listen to the news carefully. The benefit of both
listening and reading is you will learn about sentence formation as well
correct use of grammar in a sentence, how to pronounce certain words as well as
get introduced to new words.
Because to speak fluent English people
will need all these things.
The only reason people run of words is
because their vocabulary in not strong and they don’t practice of the language.
Reading and listening are the two ways through with you can enhance your
vocabulary and try speak in English to people with your newly learned word.
Before using any new word, pls cross check its meaning once, don’t use a word
if you are unsure of its meaning.
So, when you start talking to people in
English with confidence they might ignore your silly mistake and appreciate
your effort in learning the language. But that doesn’t mean you stop learning
English, the more you listen, read and speak, more fluent you will become in
English.
Even I practice the same technique and
spend an hour of my time in this exercise. I speak to most of my friends
in English only, baring a few. Sometimes when I make mistake, they correct me
immediately.
