Five Ways To Improve Your Spoken English At Home

       First, you should improve your English pronunciation because good pronunciation will help people understand your spoken English clearly, even if you don’t know many words. Second, most English learners read too much and listen too little. If you want to improve your English speaking, spend more time listening! Listen to the audio while you read the text, then read the text out loud, trying to imitate the pronunciation you hear in the audio.

       Then, reading English texts out loud will train your mouth and lips to pronounce English words more naturally. I suggest reading every text out loud twice. The first time, read slowly and focus on pronouncing each word correctly. Circle the words that are difficult to pronounce and repeat each one ten times. The second time, read faster and focus on making your English flow, speaking each sentence with a natural rhythm.

       In addition, whenever you learn a new word, try saying it in a complete sentence. If you do this with every new English word you learn, it will help you speak English in complete sentences more naturally.

       Finally, if you don’t have contact with native English speakers, watch TV shows and films in English with English subtitles to learn English conversation patterns.

Read the text and decide T (true)/ F (false) for each statement.

Find native English speakers      In certain areas it’s the hardest thing to do, but it’s the best use of your time. Talking to actual native speakers is the most effective way to improve your English skills, speaking or otherwise. So whether you have to Skype them, call them, or beg them to speak to you, do so. Your progress will be faster this way than any other.

Listen to the music of English    No, not English music, the music of English - its lilt, its prosody, the sing-songy-ness of it. The intonation. Even if you speak perfect English technically, if you speak it like a robot you’re not speaking it the way it’s meant to be spoken.

Slow down    Above all, if you want to be understood, slow down. The more clearly you speak, the better chance your listener has of understanding you. It’s tempting to get nervous and want to speed up to get it all over with, but you can’t do that! Clarity is key - for some native English speakers, too!

Record yourself   Though we hear ourselves all the time, we really don’t know quite what we sound like. So record yourself! What are the weak and strong points you hear in your speech? And then you can concentrate on what you need to work on.

Speak English at home    This is the biggest, easiest mistake to make. You go about your day, you’re on the job working partly in English, you go to your English class, and then you go home and revert back to your native tongue. While you may be making slow improvements, you’ll never get past that dreaded lingual plateau. Make a point to speak it at home, too. Have only English at the dinner table. Stick to English TV at home. Make it as 24/7 as possible.

Talking to actual native speakers is the least effective way to improve your English skills

giúp mình vs nhé mọi người :)) Hhh

English is one of the most popular langues in the world. It comes second inthe number of speakers after Chinese. In Viet Nam, more and more people are studying English, considering it a key to success. However, not everyone knows how to learn English effectively.The best way to improve the four skills, speaking, listening, reading and writing, is to practise regularly. You should make use of every opportunity to speak English with friends in class or at English speaking clubs or even with yourslves in front of the mirror. Learning by heart all the words does not help much if you do not read alot because you will easily forget what you have learnt. Reading books, listening to radio and watching films are better ways to memorize words. Besides, English learners should not be so shy because making mistakes is unavoidable in learning foreign languages. Practicing speaking alot is a good way to correct your mistakes.

Qúetions
