Improve your speaking

Yesterday I was watching a teacher called Jack giving an English class (free and live on youtube - now and then he does that) and, I've got some enriching tips to improve our speaking skills. Here they are:

You need to be able to say the English sounds (pronunciation)

  • learn how to say the sounds
  • get feedback (if possible, from a native speaker)
  • practice

Practice your speaking in general:

  • specific practice (not only about pronunciation, but everything)
  • speaking with a teacher (to correct you)
  • natural practice (still better with another student, without any worry about mistakes - just talk)


He also said:
Many students feel nervous about what other people think. To overcome this:

  • recognize and accept it 
  • speak to people who make you feel comfortable
  • start gaining confidence
