I think it is a headache for many students who are learning English for the first time. The ultimate goal of learning English is to be able to speak English and express ourselves fluently in English. Today, EnglishBus.com has compiled some tips on how to learn to speak English well for your reference.
Watch English movies often
It’s best to watch movies to learn English with subtitles blocked. You really need to have strong listening and comprehension skills to understand what the people in the movie are saying, what the stars are acting and what they have to say! At first, they may not be able to follow or understand. However, you can start by copying the words you don’t understand into a notebook and then look them up in a dictionary or ask your teacher. Over time, you will get better at it, and you can correct your pronunciation as well.
Find a way to practice speaking English that suits you
For example, read English conversations and articles aloud, read aloud the most common sentences in various sentence types and colloquialisms, memorize articles and speeches, and practice speaking with English speakers, preferably native English speakers, of course. In addition, speaking to yourself is one of the effective ways to practice speaking English. If you record yourself speaking English, listen to your own recordings and correct any problems if there are any. Of course, the most effective way is to find a foreign teacher to correct your pronunciation.
Repeating English listening material
If you are already familiar with a piece of material, try to repeat it by pressing the pause button for 20 to 30 seconds after playing the audio (the length of time can be increased or decreased according to your level), and then repeat what you just heard and try to use phrases, word combinations, and brilliant expressions that appear in the audio when you do so. Repetition is a process of input, absorption, reorganization and output. It helps you exercise your language skills within the framework of the original text and has a significant effect on improving your spoken English. This method is somewhat difficult and is suitable for students who have some basic knowledge of English.
Speak English at every opportunity
Whenever you have the opportunity to speak a foreign language, you should not hesitate to do so. Do as much “field practice” as you can with foreigners, and if you catch a target, don’t waste it. However, make sure that you speak more than the person and that it has to be in a foreign language, otherwise your English will not improve.
You can’t learn English in a hurry, and it’s important to have a method. Learning is more efficient when you do it the right way!
