Break it down then build it up...
To speak English well, you need to be able to do several things at the same time: know (and choose) suitable vocabulary, use the right grammar and sentence patterns, and produce the correct sounds, stress patterns, rhythm and intonation. Work on these individual elements separately then practise putting them together to make your speech more accurate and fluent...
Learn to interact...
A conversation is an interaction with another person, and involves listening as well as talking. Check that the other person is following, by using conversation strategies like emphasizing key words, rephrasing, or using expressions like ‘You know what I mean?’ or ‘Don’t you agree?’ Give the other person a chance to speak and use their answers and to help you think about what to say next...
Use your body...
Non-verbal communication is very important for effective speaking, even for native English speakers. Use gestures, body language and facial expressions for explanation or emphasis, and try to read what the other person’s body language is saying. Think about your posture, too – the way you stand or sit can make the difference between seeming bored or interested in what your conversation partner is saying...
Sing a song...
Music is a great way to improve your speaking skills, practice the rhythm of the language and learn some useful expressions. Look up the lyrics (song words) to your favorite songs on the Internet, and then practicing singing aloud. If you’re shy, sing at home alone. If you’re more outgoing, get together with some friends and do a bit of English karaoke...
Be brave...
You need the right attitude to improve your English. Look for every opportunity to practice speaking, like talking to people at parties, approaching a foreigner who looks lost, or just putting up your hand when your teacher asks a question. Remember, every mistake is an opportunity to learn, so don’t be afraid of making some slips from time to time.
Think in English...
This is a great way to improve your spoken English, and you can do it anywhere, anytime. At home, you can talk to yourself while doing everyday tasks like preparing a meal. If you are on the train or bus, then describe the people around you (in your head, not aloud!), and when you go to sleep, go over the day’s events in English...
Record yourself speaking...
Even though you might not like hearing your own voice, this is a very useful way to find out what’s wrong with your spoken English. Record yourself speaking and then listen to the tape, or ask a native speaker for some advice. Look for positive things, too. Make a note of all the things you do well when you speak English. If you are ever feeling unmotivated, look at the things you do well to feel great about speaking English again...
Keep a speaking journal...
Record your thoughts in English before you go to sleep at night. You can play the tape at the end of the year to look back on important events, as well as monitor your English progress.

Use this to track your progress throughout the year and set yourself new goals...

If you feel you need extra practice and want to interact with other English learners, why not join a language class? There are plenty of language schools around, or even online courses. Don’t think you can learn to speak on the Internet?
Find English-speaking friends...
If you are really serious about becoming a good English speaker, you need to meet people you can speak to in English. This does NOT only mean native-speakers, though. English is spoken by many more people as a second language than as a native language, and being able to understand different accents is very important. Start an English coffee club with your friends where you meet and have a chat in English. You can help each other and have fun practising together...

10 Tips for speaking English...
1. The first thing I would do after getting up every morning was to read the newspaper, front to back. It doesn’t matter which newspaper you subscribe to, as long as it is a major English-language paper, such as The Hindu, The Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Indian Express, etc. While different people have different opinions on the quality of each paper, they are all more or less equally useful in getting to learn the language. It is also not necessary to read every page and article; it is time-consuming and, sometimes, boring. However, you should most definitely look for articles that interest you...
2. I bought a hindi to english dictionary" pocket dictionary. They are cheap, compact and useful. There were many words I came across on a day-to-day basis that I did not know, and carrying a pocket dictionary everywhere allowed me to look up these words immediately so that the matter would not slip off my mind later...
3. Once learned, I also made a conscious effort to use the words in conversation. This instilled the words in my head and I was able to draw on them whenever required...
4. I convinced some of my friends to come together and form something of a ‘study group’; we were all interested in learning English, and I figured it would make it easier and more fun for us to do it together. We met twice a week in the evening and discussed the words and phrases we had come across, suggested articles, magazines, and books to each other, etc...
5. Another thing my group of friends and I kept in mind was the importance of talking only in English, whenever possible. During our weekly meetings, not a word of Hindi (the only other language any of us spoke) was uttered. This sort of commitment is absolutely necessary if you want to develop fluency...
6. A couple of weeks into my learning experience, a friend talked about the issue of language of thoughts during one of our meetings. This, too, is an interesting aspect of one’s linguistic foundations: what language do you think in? I realised that I thought in Hindi, and thus whenever I spoke in English, I was, in a way, translating in my head. This made the entire process slower and more laborious. So I decided to start making a conscious effort to think in English. When I spoke in Hindi, I was often trying to figure out beforehand what the phrase would be in English before I said it. This takes some getting used to, but soon you will find it becoming a second nature; the phrases will come faster and easier then...
7. I made it a point to pick up at least one English book a month. I cannot stress the importance of this enough; books introduce you to the possibilities of the language, expose you to the various ways in which words can be manipulated and played around with. Your vocabulary of words, phrases, colloquialisms, etc. will increase sharply this way. Also, reading develops thinking, i.e., as you read, you automatically begin to think more in the language that your reading material is written in...
8. Every night I would watch an English news channel (NDTV, Headlines Today, CNN-IBN, etc.) for at least half an hour. The news anchors and reporters generally speak very crisp and proper English. It is also useful to watch English TV shows...
9. My friends and I would rent the DVD of an English movie every week, and watch it with the subtitles on. This way, you can always make out what the actors are saying, and the context of the movie helps you understand what unfamiliar phrases might mean...
10. I developed the habit of paying close attention whenever I was within listening distance of a conversation in English. This may seem like eavesdropping, but when someone is speaking loud enough in public for others to hear him or her, it is unlikely that anything very personal is being discussed. At least, I defended my practice with that rationale, because it helped me pick up common phrases on a daily basis...

Tips for learning flouncy English...
Friends...Unfortunately, many people make the mistake of thinking that learning English is same as spoken English. People who want to learn English believe that learning English starts and ends with spoken English. This is one of the main reasons why they fail to master the language. If learning English is not same as spoken English, why so many people think that learn English? To find out answers to this, read on...
Why people focus on spoken English?...
We here in India, Hyderabad in particular, always idolize the filmi type people or those with elitist mindset. They are the kind of people who in order to hide their incompetence glamorize their English. They use slang and foreign accent to attract masses. Our friends try to imitate them and always focus only on spoken English. The other reason for increased popularity of spoken English is the sudden growth in spoken English institutes in the city. Many English aspirants are lured towards the spoken English institutes, which promise 100% assurance in results, in the least possible time. Most of them are least bothered about the way of the learning process. All they want is to learn English, that too in quick time. Due to ignorance and willingness to spoken English courses and following whatever procedure they offer. Moreover, people who approach them, don’t even think of how these many institutes can manage a qualified faculty for themselves, while the major universities in the city like Osmania University, Dr.B.R.Ambedkar Open University, Indira Gandhi Open University, have only limited faculty when it comes to teaching languages...
What does learning English involve?...
First you should understand that learning English involves a standard process, which includes reading, comprehending, writing, listening and speaking. You cannot learn English only by focusing on spoken English. Attempting to learn English this way is like learning driving directly on a highway, where hundreds of lorries are traveling fast on both the sides. This way of learning driving is scary and difficult.
Do you know that good English medium schools do not focus on spoken English for many years? This is because speaking requires it to be spontaneous i.e., quick and instant. It comes only if you have command over the language. And you get command over the English only when you follow a step by step process. It is like learning a motorcycle – first balance the bike, then clutch, gear, accelerator and brake and then finally bringing all of them together.
Directly taking spoken English course does not work. By taking spoken English course you can learn only few commonly used conversational words like Hello, How are you? Fine etc., beyond that you cannot learn anything. You will not learn English completely this way.
Spoken English is not the way to start learning English. At best it can give very superficial understanding of English or English skills. To get an in depth understanding of what English is, one needs to practice lot of reading and understanding (comprehending) what the written material is saying. Learning English is 80% about reading and listening (comprehending what is written or said). Only 20% is about spoken English. If you try to stretch this 20%, it becomes difficult to learn English. Spoken English is like a curry. It is part of meal and you cannot eat only curry for the meal...
Focus on reading and listening Learning English by developing reading skills is the perfect way to learn English. This is because reading gives time for the learner to understand the language. You can learn English slowly but steadily by concentrating on reading skills initially.
In USA or UK, when kids are small and just learning language, parents read small interesting stories. They teach fun rhymes (Baa Baa Black Sheep, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Humpty Dumpty, etc.). They then encourage the small kids to learn English by reading story books with many pictures and little text. Gradually, as they get command, they start reading books on their own mastering the language. Though some of these rhymes are taught in our schools, many schools (except good ones) or parents don’t encourage reading story books.Listening is also a part of complete learning process. But the only problem with listening English is that it is hard for the beginners to follow the language. Hence, it comes in the later stages of the learning process. It is difficult to follow because you can read slowly but you cannot demand the other person to speak slowly or repeat again.
And the end part of English learning process is spoken English. Until and unless you are perfect with all the other three things (reading, listening and comprehending), you cannot proceed to spoken English. By mastering all these skills you will automatically learn the way to speak English. Remember, spoken English is the end part.
We hope that, by now, you might have understood where spoken English stands in the process of learning English and how you should go about it. Hence, it is advised not to become victim of spoken English trend (that is rampant in Hyderabad city) and never make an attempt to learn English only through spoken English...
Are you one of them struggling to improve your English and having lot of urge to learn English? Do you want to know how to improve English quickly and easily? Whether you have decided the first time to join a spoken English training institute or even if you have tried everything, attended enough English training courses and still do not have proper hold on the language?

We believe it as our social responsibility to help you out of this. This section helps you learn English the way those who are good with English teach their family and friends. You can consider these tips as the secret formulae to learn English and improve English skills quickly and correctly.
Our goal is to help people learn spoken English the right way with many tips to quickly improve English. We provide ample guidance in learning English to communicate effectively and professionally in English. We will teach how to learn English quickly, in a systematic manner.
Remember, language should be fun, entertaining and exciting! Just the way it is in families and schools that develop good skills in the young ones. These tips are not found in the commercial English coaching institutes. But no one who is good in English goes to the spoken English institutes...

If you’re more outgoing, get together with some friends and do a bit of English karaoke...
Be brave...
You need the right attitude to improve your English. Look for every opportunity to practice speaking, like talking to people at parties, approaching a foreigner who looks lost, or just putting up your hand when your teacher asks a question. Remember, every mistake is an opportunity to learn, so don’t be afraid of making some slips from time to time.
Think in English...
This is a great way to improve your spoken English, and you can do it anywhere, anytime. At home, you can talk to yourself while doing everyday tasks like preparing a meal. If you are on the train or bus, then describe the people around you (in your head, not aloud!), and when you go to sleep, go over the day’s events in English...
Record yourself speaking...
Even though you might not like hearing your own voice, this is a very useful way to find out what’s wrong with your spoken English. Record yourself speaking and then listen to the tape, or ask a native speaker for some advice. Look for positive things, too. Make a note of all the things you do well when you speak English. If you are ever feeling unmotivated, look at the things you do well to feel great about speaking English again...
Keep a speaking journal...
Record your thoughts in English before you go to sleep at night. You can play the tape at the end of the year to look back on important events, as well as monitor your English progress. If you can’t keep a speaking journal, write it instead. Make a note of all the conversations you had in English along with aspects you did well and things you could improve on. Use this to track your progress throughout the year and set yourself new goals...
Take extra classes...
If you feel you need extra practice and want to interact with other English learners, why not join a language class? There are plenty of language schools around, or even online courses. Don’t think you can learn to speak on the Internet?
Find English-speaking friends...
If you are really serious about becoming a good English speaker, you need to meet people you can speak to in English. This does NOT only mean native-speakers, though. English is spoken by many more people as a second language than as a native language, and being able to understand different accents is very important. Start an English coffee club with your friends where you meet and have a chat in English. You can help each other and have fun practising together...

10 Tips for speaking English...
1. The first thing I would do after getting up every morning was to read the newspaper, front to back. It doesn’t matter which newspaper you subscribe to, as long as it is a major English-language paper, such as The Hindu, The Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Indian Express, etc. While different people have different opinions on the quality of each paper, they are all more or less equally useful in getting to learn the language. It is also not necessary to read every page and article; it is time-consuming and, sometimes, boring. However, you should most definitely look for articles that interest you...
2. I bought a hindi to english dictionary" pocket dictionary. They are cheap, compact and useful. There were many words I came across on a day-to-day basis that I did not know, and carrying a pocket dictionary everywhere allowed me to look up these words immediately so that the matter would not slip off my mind later...
3. Once learned, I also made a conscious effort to use the words in conversation. This instilled the words in my head and I was able to draw on them whenever required...
4. I convinced some of my friends to come together and form something of a ‘study group’; we were all interested in learning English, and I figured it would make it easier and more fun for us to do it together. We met twice a week in the evening and discussed the words and phrases we had come across, suggested articles, magazines, and books to each other, etc...
5. Another thing my group of friends and I kept in mind was the importance of talking only in English, whenever possible. During our weekly meetings, not a word of Hindi (the only other language any of us spoke) was uttered. This sort of commitment is absolutely necessary if you want to develop fluency...
6. A couple of weeks into my learning experience, a friend talked about the issue of language of thoughts during one of our meetings. This, too, is an interesting aspect of one’s linguistic foundations: what language do you think in? I realised that I thought in Hindi, and thus whenever I spoke in English, I was, in a way, translating in my head. This made the entire process slower and more laborious. So I decided to start making a conscious effort to think in English. When I spoke in Hindi, I was often trying to figure out beforehand what the phrase would be in English before I said it. This takes some getting used to, but soon you will find it becoming a second nature; the phrases will come faster and easier then...
7. I made it a point to pick up at least one English book a month. I cannot stress the importance of this enough; books introduce you to the possibilities of the language, expose you to the various ways in which words can be manipulated and played around with. Your vocabulary of words, phrases, colloquialisms, etc. will increase sharply this way. Also, reading develops thinking, i.e., as you read, you automatically begin to think more in the language that your reading material is written in...
8. Every night I would watch an English news channel (NDTV, Headlines Today, CNN-IBN, etc.) for at least half an hour. The news anchors and reporters generally speak very crisp and proper English. It is also useful to watch English TV shows...
9. My friends and I would rent the DVD of an English movie every week, and watch it with the subtitles on. This way, you can always make out what the actors are saying, and the context of the movie helps you understand what unfamiliar phrases might mean...
10. I developed the habit of paying close attention whenever I was within listening distance of a conversation in English. This may seem like eavesdropping, but when someone is speaking loud enough in public for others to hear him or her, it is unlikely that anything very personal is being discussed. At least, I defended my practice with that rationale, because it helped me pick up common phrases on a daily basis...

Tips for learning flouncy English...
Friends...Unfortunately, many people make the mistake of thinking that learning English is same as spoken English. People who want to learn English believe that learning English starts and ends with spoken English. This is one of the main reasons why they fail to master the language. If learning English is not same as spoken English, why so many people think that learn English? To find out answers to this, read on...
Why people focus on spoken English?...
We here in India, Hyderabad in particular, always idolize the filmi type people or those with elitist mindset. They are the kind of people who in order to hide their incompetence glamorize their English. They use slang and foreign accent to attract masses. Our friends try to imitate them and always focus only on spoken English. The other reason for increased popularity of spoken English is the sudden growth in spoken English institutes in the city. Many English aspirants are lured towards the spoken English institutes, which promise 100% assurance in results, in the least possible time. Most of them are least bothered about the way of the learning process. All they want is to learn English, that too in quick time. Due to ignorance and willingness to spoken English courses and following whatever procedure they offer. Moreover, people who approach them, don’t even think of how these many institutes can manage a qualified faculty for themselves, while the major universities in the city like Osmania University, Dr.B.R.Ambedkar Open University, Indira Gandhi Open University, have only limited faculty when it comes to teaching languages...
What does learning English involve?...
First you should understand that learning English involves a standard process, which includes reading, comprehending, writing, listening and speaking. You cannot learn English only by focusing on spoken English. Attempting to learn English this way is like learning driving directly on a highway, where hundreds of lorries are traveling fast on both the sides. This way of learning driving is scary and difficult.
Do you know that good English medium schools do not focus on spoken English for many years? This is because speaking requires it to be spontaneous i.e., quick and instant. It comes only if you have command over the language. And you get command over the English only when you follow a step by step process. It is like learning a motorcycle – first balance the bike, then clutch, gear, accelerator and brake and then finally bringing all of them together.
Directly taking spoken English course does not work. By taking spoken English course you can learn only few commonly used conversational words like Hello, How are you? Fine etc., beyond that you cannot learn anything. You will not learn English completely this way.
Spoken English is not the way to start learning English. At best it can give very superficial understanding of English or English skills. To get an in depth understanding of what English is, one needs to practice lot of reading and understanding (comprehending) what the written material is saying. Learning English is 80% about reading and listening (comprehending what is written or said). Only 20% is about spoken English. If you try to stretch this 20%, it becomes difficult to learn English. Spoken English is like a curry. It is part of meal and you cannot eat only curry for the meal...
Focus on reading and listening Learning English by developing reading skills is the perfect way to learn English. This is because reading gives time for the learner to understand the language. You can learn English slowly but steadily by concentrating on reading skills initially.
In USA or UK, when kids are small and just learning language, parents read small interesting stories. They teach fun rhymes (Baa Baa Black Sheep, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Humpty Dumpty, etc.). They then encourage the small kids to learn English by reading story books with many pictures and little text. Gradually, as they get command, they start reading books on their own mastering the language. Though some of these rhymes are taught in our schools, many schools (except good ones) or parents don’t encourage reading story books.Listening is also a part of complete learning process. But the only problem with listening English is that it is hard for the beginners to follow the language. Hence, it comes in the later stages of the learning process. It is difficult to follow because you can read slowly but you cannot demand the other person to speak slowly or repeat again.
And the end part of English learning process is spoken English. Until and unless you are perfect with all the other three things (reading, listening and comprehending), you cannot proceed to spoken English. By mastering all these skills you will automatically learn the way to speak English. Remember, spoken English is the end part.
We hope that, by now, you might have understood where spoken English stands in the process of learning English and how you should go about it. Hence, it is advised not to become victim of spoken English trend (that is rampant in Hyderabad city) and never make an attempt to learn English only through spoken English...
