It’s safe to assume that practically all English language learners think that interacting with locals is the best way to enhance spoken English. That said, if you want to see quick improvements, you should totally immerse yourself in the English language so that your practice sessions with your English language partner are more productive. Here are some easy but effective things you can do at home to quickly enhance your spoken English.
There are five simple techniques to improve your spoken English
1. Find two or three friends who wish to enhance their Spoken English skills and promise to chat with them at least once a week.
It’s a lot of fun, and you’ll be surprised at how quickly your language abilities improve in just a few minutes! We recommend at least 30 minutes, but do more if time allows. Find people with language skills that are at least as good as, if not better than, yours. Of course, you can ask for help with a word of your own language, but then switch back to English.
2. To fill in any word gaps, rent a movie with an English soundtrack and subtitles in your own language. Choose a film that piques your attention for a variety of reasons, including the theme or plot, the setting, or the actors or director. The subtitles will undoubtedly assist you, but you should concentrate on the sound of the English language.
3. Repeat with a film that interests you, but this time choose English subtitles to help you understand the spoken English conversation. Also, have fun with the various accents! English, spoken with a Scottish accent sounds nothing like English spoken in South America, y’all!
4. Translate signs on a shop or an advertisement on a city bus or billboard into English and recite the English word aloud. After that, state a brief remark about the store or commercial aloud. When you speak it aloud, you want your brain to truly hear the words. “I’m strolling by a PHARMACY,” for instance. I’ve walked inside before, but today I’m not entering.” That was only two sentences, but you get the picture. It’s a blast! You’ll begin to think in English when you hear yourself speaking English aloud about everyday places and occurrences.
5. Locate and read aloud some English language novels for youngsters or young adults. Even more enjoyable, if you know a kid who would love it, read it to them in English. If they know a little English, ask them questions about the book in English and give them a chance to read aloud as well!
Remember that enhancing your English speaking skills is a gradual process. Simple exercises like these, along with practice with a native speaker, are the ideal method to obtain faster results, much like going to the gym plus eating a healthy diet promotes weight reduction. To put it another way, the more you can immerse yourself in the English language, the faster your English speaking skills will develop.
