Thanks Samar for invitation!

Sometimes the difficult thing about talking in a new language isn’t the language itself, but how you think about it.

So, First think about the language and be loved with it, spend much time reading, writing , speaking,  then you will find that you get better and better.

I am here is trying to mention some steps which surly help you to improve your speaking skills:

  • talk to yourself and forget if others say you get mad because this technique is going to make your tongue flexibility and moves smoothly specially with twisters which may need quick pronunciation.
  • listening and repeating is more useful technique to make your language active and be enthusiastic to practice English, meanwhile focus on stressed sounds and repeat them as they were pronounced.
  • practice your English with natives speakers or qualified English people.
  • pay attention for most common sayings, like phrases, idioms, proverbs...etc.
  • listen to English songs and sing with and try to write down those words which seem not clear to you. 
  • Read English newspapers, stories, assays loudly and make your pronunciation special; feel that you are perfect in speaking. 

 I hope you find tips aforementioned helpfull.

I am a student majoring in English, so my advice to you read novels as much as you can this gives you vocabs and knowledge also listening to music in english will help u to catch the words.By your working on your language you will become better.

through reading english books

to be able to improve your english speaking, you need to improve your thinking process.

some easy ways to are to acquire more grammar and vocabulary by reading english newspaper, watching BBC or Sky-news also help a lot... when you've acquired a good level of grammar...you can try change your thinking process from your mother tongue to English...

 

The best way is to think in English, this advice was given to me when I was at school and believe me it works very well.

 

Practicing English phrases rather than words is efficient.

 

Online conversations and apps are also great.

OK, listen to my story - i was an Arabic/French Bilingual speaking . when i came to Kuwait 10 years ago to work as a private teacher for a Kuwait family, i remark that i was beginner in speaking and understanding English language while the children i taught were familiar in English Language because they study in an American school and because they have servants at home and the children cooperate with the servants in English. i felt that i am not in the same level and position with my students and i am their teacher and supervisor, so i decided to improve my English language: 

  1. i joined the British council, and i chose a class that come with my level - joining a center is the first step you must do because in the center they practice speaking English in group and they used different ways helping you to improve your speaking level
  2. i bought an English/Arabic dictionary, and i began to read, to understand, to summarize and to write jot notes for all the subjects i had to teach  - each words i don't know the Meaning i find it in the dictionary - so you need to improve your vocabulary by reading a lot and by searching the synonyms or the meanings of unknown words
  3. Read - speak - listen strategy is the best
