How To Improve Spoken English

Clarence Said:

How can I improve mu spoken English in a non native English speaking country ?

We Answered:

You must practice by reading out loud to someone who knows when to correct you. If that is not possible listen to tapes and repeat proper english passages. Best of luck.

How to improve my spoken english?

We Answered:

practise makes perfect.
watch english films/videos/TV (perhaps on the internet), listen to english radio (again on the internet), read english newspapers/magazines/books.
also, have penpals. find a penfriend...then you can communicate in english about your hobbies, interests and everyday life. you will then become more confident about using english with your friends.
hopefully this helps, i find that when i am learning other languages it helps very much :D
by the way, your english is very good :) ignore all of the people with rude answers.

How to improve my spoken English within two months?

Actually, broadening/improving one's language skills is a very broad concept, it should be done in more than one ways at the same time which is highly recommended. One can NOT become better ONLY in one area, say, speaking, one MUST improve skills in ALL dimensions of the language!

Learning language well requires being as active as possible and making the learning as FUN for oneself as possible. Taking lessons is always important, but equally important are these:

1) Listen/watch: Keep listening to internet radio stations like BBC, watch TV shows in English (use only subtitles, NOT voice dubbing in case you are not a native English speaker!), etc.

2) Write/communicate: Try to find discussion forums from the web about things that you find interesting and FUN (music/various artists, hobbies, etc.) and start communicating there with other people using only English. Start using instant messaging systems in case you find some new friends or start emailing them. Please do NOT be afraid of making mistakes or hesitating, because even native speakers do make mistakes and do hesitate at times! The more you enjoy communicating, the better!

3) Buy yourself a proper dictionary, and each time when you see a strange word that you do not understand, look it up. Putting words into their CONTEXT is one of the best ways to broaden one's vocabulary and grammar knowledge, the more you read and write the better. Memorising is NOT the best way to go with learning vocabulary, grammar or any other language areas! For idioms, you should buy an all-English dictionary which explains the words in English and shows you examples of how to use the words.

The main point in ANY language learning is to make it as fun as possible for yourself. Try to find topics that INTEREST you, read online newspapers (Times, Guardian, Independent...), listen to BBC/NBC and other radio stations online, if you find a discussion forum for e.g. your favourite hobby or your idols in music do participate there, etc. The key word here is CONTEXT, which means that it is easier to learn new words and their usage as well as grammar when you use/see them in their real CONTEXT. The more you see and hear the new words in their context and the more you use them in your speech & writing, the easier it becomes to remember their meanings and correct spelling. Do NOT be afraid of making mistakes though, because even native speakers do make mistakes and do hesitate at times!

I'm sorry there is NO EASY WAY out with this, one really must develop language skills in ALL these language "levels" or dimensions in order to reach better language skills!!

Last but not least: NEVER EVER use ANY online translators, they are nothing but utter rubbish!! English is practically EVERYWHERE in the online world these days, you just have to use your imagination to find it! Learning pace is always personal, it takes the time it takes so there is no reason to hurry it up too much. If you do, you will not learn so well. Also, please learn the basics of the standard English first before advancing to finer details like dialects/accents. A word of warning though: Do stay well away from overrated, overpriced and overhyped language "gimmicks" such as Rosetta Stone, they really are NOT worth for checking out!

Good luck!

how i improve my spoken english in 15 days only?

We Answered:

First off, study vocabulary and study it constantly throughout the day. Make certain you have and can utter the correct pronunciation of each word. If you have friends or acquaintances who can help with the correct pronunciation, all the better.

Second, and in my opinion most important, is constant verbal and mental repitition. Say the words out loud, over and over and over until you're sick of it. Then say them some more. As you say them, you must THINK the word in your mind, as you would say it. This is critical to reinforcement of the spoken word. When you're not saying words, think them.

Third is to take every opportunity to use those words. If you are speaking and you have a chance to use a word in english, even if your native tongue would be easier or more appropriate, use the english word instead.

These techniques may not get you where you want to be in 15 days, but they will definitely aid you in overall improvement of your spoken english.
