How can I speak fluently English? Do you know any ways how to improve speaking skills

[@captaincap5264]

I am from Tajikistan, but I know Russian and want to study English for myself

[@nhidang5829]

I speak day by day. Begin with a simple sentence. Don't care that "Oh, my grammar isn't correct.", "My accent is terrible!"... Besides, I really like reading newspaper, Quora, people's comments on KZbin. I also like writing comment and replying comments. Surprisingly, I wasn't trying too hard to learn English but I was able to naturally say my thoughts. Finally, in my opinion, practice patiently and confidently, speak and write down your thoughts. This not only makes you feel no pressure of studying, but also an opportunity to make friends, confidently communicate with strangers. P/s: My writing skills is very bad 😆 And when I activily comment on KZbin or something like that. It looks like I improved a lot.

[@BooksWithAkash]

If you want to learn a language efficiently, then you need to give that language life. Every word needs to connect to sounds, images, senses, tastes, and emotions. Every bit of grammar can’t be some kind of abstract grammatical quote, needs to be something that can help you tell your story. 5-Discipline, you have to know before learning a new language 1. Make learning fun. 2. Make lots of mistakes and learn from them. 3. Don’t compare yourself with other learners. 4. Be Patient (Don’t say when I learn the language like a native, make it step by step). 5. Live with this language. Make a suitable method for you, there’re thousands of methods to learn a language choose a fun method. 5-Discipline, you have to practice the language every single day 1. Listen at least for 30 minutes. 2. Read a novel or news or anything you are interested in for 30 minutes. 3. Speak with yourself or a partner if you have, discuss different topics, or talk about what happened in your day before you go to sleep. 4. Learn 5 new words or sentences and repeat them everyday day, and use them in your conversations. 5. Write your personal journal every day ‘’If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his language, that goes to his heart.” Nelson Mandela Remind yourself about the benefits of learning this language, That will motivate you. Read this quote load every day ‘’Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever.’’ Don’t focus on yourself, focus on the result that you want to achieve. English is not an art to be mastered, English is just a tool to use to get results.

My personal tips: 1- Start to read more in English. Everyday read texts that are relevant and interesting for you. Use the internet to find nice articles. 2- Read them without translating a single word on you head. Only worry about the pronunciation. The main porpouse is to learn new words and strength the ones you've already know. If you notice that you're translating in your head, stop translating and start again. This will also help you start thinking in English. 3- After you've already read the text. Get the words that you don't know in a list and look for them in a English-English dictionary. If you are a beginner it's ok to use an Eglish-(your language) dictionary, but when you become a intermediate student, use only English-English dictionary. 4- This exercise will help you to thinking in English and your reading speed and comprehension will increase a lot. This will also help you with listening, that's why you need to learn the correct words pronunciation, because once you hear that word you'll get it. 5- Start to watch KZbin videos in English. Use subtitles IN ENGLISH until you get more advanced and confident to watch videos without them. 6- Watch videos about issues that are relevant and interesting for you and when you're listening the words don't worry about their meaning, focus on the pronunciation only. You gonna learn a lots of words throughout the context. 7-Combine reading texts and watch videos about the same subject in English. You gonna learn a lots of vocabulary and your reading, speaking, thinking, listening and comprehension skills will level up amazingly. And always remember about to not translating in your head. Just learn the words how they are pronounced and look for the meanings you don't know using an English-English dictionary. A nice online English-English dictionary is vocabulary.com, they have easy explanations with examples and you can also hear how the words are pronounced by a native speaker.

Hi Rachel. Most of these ideas, I used to do them when I was learning English without even realizing, you know. Like switching the language on my phone (never switched it back and still have it in English since then), talking to myself in my head or writing down American English idioms and collocations from subtitles or downloading movie scripts from movies that I enjoyed watching. In fact, when you really enjoy learning a new language, you eagerly find different ways to practice. And if we add up time to that thing, there's no way that progress cannot occur. By the way, you look pretty much and sound like a lady who was my boss in NC and who I was lucky to meet at work and inspired me to gain more fluency. I follow you from a long time ago. The content of your videos is just awesome. Thank you

Trying to find a solution I started to retell the plot of my favorite book. And it worked very well! There was not a need to figure out what to write about by myself, and I was able to just focus on finding write words in my passive vocabulary and using it to gradually transfer it in an active one. If someone has similar problem, you can try this method, it’s very effective🙂

[@manochehrteimory9037]

Hello dear Rachel, I know that there are as many ways of learning a language as the number of people trying to learn a new language. My personal view to a language is that the language learning is a process or better to say a set of experiments in which you try out a learning method for yourself. You are a sample. Personally, I tried out different methods until I found my way of learning English that worked out for me and that was chunks of the language that express different ideas, not words. Not only did I try to focus on chunks, I also tried to focus how they sound when native speakers say those chunks. I found out that the native speakers do not learn vocabularies, they learn chunks associated with a melody that signals a unique idea. Therefore, the native speakers are much more quick to understand the others speech, even if they talk with a mouth full of something they are eating, because the unique melody that they still can recognize. Second, they do not learn even vocabularies, when you ask for the meaning of a vocabulary, they search in their mind for the examples they have already learnt and then, they try to figure out the meaning of the word you have asked for. This is the way everybody has learnt their own native language effectively and easily without any grinds. I think that the language teaching is still in its infancy because I have witnessed so many people struggling with learning a new language, only a few has been successful. I believe that there is nothing wrong with these learners who failed, it is just the methods which should be blamed for their failure. To cut short, stop learning using dictionary books (youglish is much better thank you, even if it is indirect and it takes time to figure out the meaning of the word), stop learning memorizing words (memorize the unique rhythmic patterns associated with an idea of chunk), and start learning speaking from the first day you start learning a language, just like the way you have learned your own mother tongue language. You did not start reading to learn you own language. Instead, build a community of the language learners, a medium, where they can share what they have learned by communication, exactly the same way we have developed our own native language. Otherwise, it won't be a recipe for success.

After watching this video, I gain lots of brand new insights on English mode. In the past 10 years, I think I am good at English, just because I always get excellent grades in kinds of tests, including the undergraduate entrance exam. However, recently I found I have difficulty having simple conversations with foreigners during my internship, and I even can’t understand what they say when they speak a little more quickly. That makes me upset, as if I just get some superficial “grades” but not true knowledge. So from now on, I plan to break previous glory and start to learn a new language. I know it’ll be hard at the beginning, but I hope I will continue to do this.

Good thing this works on every language, and it's even easier and more understandable when you're learning another one. I started to think in English like a year ago and it was such an experience. First of all, I got used to language (reading, watching etc a lot, even if I've been understanding not that much). And then, before a university conference (when we were telling some information about innovations to each other) I tried to explain my topic to myself (as if I were telling it to someone) after watching a video related to my topic. And tried to do it without translations. It was hard, but I felt that something has changed. So it helped me a lot. After a conference (where I did well, I was surprised by that fact) and little dialogues in one videogame I couldn't sleep all night because of thinking in English 🤣🤣🤣. I saw that I haven't studied for nothing, I finally saw such results. And after that it was easier to learn (use) English - talk, listen, read, etc. (Ngl I'm far from perfect and still need to speak and read a lot (havent spoken in a while) but still) And now I'll try to repeat this expepience with Japanese, that's why I rewatched the main points for thinking in target language (I knew most of it, yes, but I had to make sure I didnt miss something). Well, good luck to everyone!

This is cool. I'm Dutch, born and raised in the Netherlands, by Dutch parents. In school I was taught English, but I didn't pick up much there. One year, I had Dutch and English lessons from the same teacher, and on a scale from 1 to 10, I scored at least 9.5 for Dutch, but never better than a 2 for English. It was embarrassing. Then, when I started working, in some factories I was confronted with a conundrum: many of my co-workers were temps, visiting from English speaking nations around the world... That stimulated me to do better. At some point, I automatically started thinking and dreaming in English. In 1982, I bought my first home computer, and the manual and all other information I could get about it, was in English. If I wanted to know something about my computer, and how to use it effectively, I had to learn in English! This stimulated me even more. In 1992, when I got my first (second-hand) PC, it was a no-brainer to always select English during installation of any programs. This was helpful later, when I got access to the Internet. Most forums and support systems primarily use English, as it is known all over the world. So what's the logical step if you need help? Ask your questions in English, not Dutch... now it was extra helpful that I had always installed all my software in English, wasn't it? So what, do you think, is my primary language with social media like Facebook? When I encounter any English word of phrase that I'm unfamiliar with, I don't immediately think of Google Translate to put it to me in Dutch. No, the first thing I'm likely to do, is to tell Google.com (the English version) to "define: ". Translating to Dutch is hardly ever necessary after that. I'm more likely to ask Google for the English translation of a Dutch word than the other way around. As soon as I had my first DVD-player, I quickly learned that Dutch subtitles are seldom accurate; they use dumb phrases and words, and half of what's said isn't even translated at all. So making sure that every title I bought had English subtitles available, was a no-brainer. Now I watch everything with English audio, and can fall back on English subtitles. The same goes for Netflix. I'm actually annoyed if a show or movie that I want to see, has no English subtitles. Because that forces me to either use Dutch, or do without, entirely. I now have 40+ years of practice hearing and speaking, reading and writing in English behind me. Thinking and dreaming in English is second nature, more likely than doing so in Dutch. While awake, I switch back and forth from English to Dutch without thinking about it. Translating in my head is so 40 years ago! In day-to-day social life, my primary language is Dutch, that may never change. But as soon as I'm home alone, online or offline, I live an English speaking existence. I know that your method works, because without knowing of it, I've done the steps already...

First I wanna add few things: To start speaking any language it is impossible If you don`t study the grammar. Second: to a person say or speak any phrase even the simple ones they need to have VOCABULARY which means know as much as possible words and it`s meanings. Finally you are a teacher as me, you have studied English at least five to four years counting you are not a native but If you are I`ll tell you that there is a loooong process of learning.

[@naturalspanish1049]

I wonder how kids all around the world do it

[@aleenabenny5624]

Did you start talking in your native language after byhearting all the grammar? No right? Since when you were born, you were hearing to that, and at a certain point you started to speak; not perfectly, but you got improvised as you grew up. And when you started to mingle with the world, your vocabulary too got developed. Knowing grammar and a lot of words doesn't help you to speak fluently in any language. Though you don't know the grammar you can learn a language if you know how to read and write in that language. And I don't think this video is made for those who don't even understand what's A B C D! I am not a native English speaker but I'm sure you would understand what I meant to convey through my words though I am not that eloquent. I made a tremendous improvement in English language after started practising it by reading articles and books on a daily basis, listening to English speakers in youtube n all and also thinking in English (it's not that easy, you have to be very patient... But it's worth it!). I'm saying all these from my own personal experience 😊

If you don't have enough vocabulary you barely will start a single phrase but If you do it will probably be something as broken English...I agree kids repeat what they listen but to learn a second language you must know the grammar . We aren't seeing here a mother tongue learning basis but a second language. Since adults have an advantage of speaking their mother tongue differently of a child,They have an advantage of using their mother language knowledge to learn Enghlish for example, I have seen a better development of students acquiring fluency with of course all the skills associated with the grammar.
