• When you are looking to speak well in English, there is one thing that you have to begin with.You need to familiarize yourself with the dictionary. The kinds of dictionaries that help you to pronounce words are really the way to go here. When you familiarize yourself with the act of using the dictionary and a whole lot of unfamiliar words, speaking the language will really not be too much of a problem for you.
• Once you get familiar with using the dictionary and discovering new words, you will have to take all the necessary steps to practice new and difficult words. Practice pronouncing them until you are sure you are doing it right or until using those words become a second nature of sorts for you. If you are not sure about the way you are pronouncing a whole lot of words, try getting a friend who is good at speaking English to help you out. If you can’t find a friend to help you out, you can also always rope in the help of an expert or a professional.
• One of the most popular ways of learning to speak English well is to listen to people who speak English well. Sometimes, you cannot learn to speak English well, just by speaking it, it also pays to listen to the experts who speak the language with ease. When listening to people who speak English well, don’t just sit back and listen. Instead, pay close attention to their choice of words and the way they pronounce them. At first it may seem difficult to do this, but in time you are only bound to get better at listening. When you get better at listening and you learn to use to advantage what you have heard, speaking English well should come naturally to you.
• Start conversing with people who are good at speaking English and do so in English, or you may just ruin the point of the whole exercise. When speaking in English, don’t be conscious, just go with the flow. This is when you will make mistakes and more importantly learn from them. After all, it is better to make mistakes when you are starting out with the language than to do so on a later date!
• Just as important as it is to speak English, it is equally important to think in English as well. You may not realize it, but when you actually think in a language, in your mind you are also pronouncing the words. Thus, when you do this, speaking the language automatically becomes much less of a challenge for you.
