• Many people want to speak English.
• They want to speak fluently,
• without fear,
• without stopping and without forgetting words.
• But when they try to speak,
• they feel nervous.
• They open their mouth,
• but no words come out.
• Their mind goes blank.
• They forget what they want to say,
• they feel shy,
• they feel scared.
• And then.
• They stop.
• They think my English is not good.
• I will never be fluent.
• But this is not true.
• You can speak English fluently,
• yes you can.
• You do not need to speak perfect English.
• You do not need big,
• difficult words.
• You only need to speak clearly,
• confidently and every day.
• Speaking fluently means speaking simply,
• easily and without fear.
• Today,
• I will tell you how to do that.
• I will tell you in very easy English,
• step by step,
• so you can follow and understand everything.
• First,
• let us understand what fluent English means.
• Many people think fluent English means using very hard words,
• big grammar or long sentences,
• but that is not true.
• Fluent English means that you can speak without stopping too much.
• Fluent English means you can share your thoughts in English.
• You can say what you want to say.
• Even if you make small mistakes,
• that is okay.
• If the other person understands you,
• then your English is working.
• So remember,
• fluent does not mean perfect.
• Fluent means comfortable and easy.
• Now let's talk about the first step.
• The first and most important step is listening.
• Yes,
• listening is the key.
• Before you speak well,
• you must listen well.
• Think about how babies learn a language.
• A baby listens to the mother and father every day.
• The baby listens for many months before speaking.
• The baby does not read grammar books,
• the baby just listens.
• After many months,
• the baby starts to speak.
• This is how the brain learns language.
• So if you want to speak English fluently,
• start with listening.
• Listen to English every day.
• You can listen to English podcasts,
• English songs,
• English cartoons,
• short stories,
• Youtube videos or even English news.
• You do not have to understand every word.
• Just enjoy the sound.
• Let the words go into your ears,
• your brain will remember,
• and slowly you will begin to speak better.
• Now let's move to the second step.
• This step is speaking every day.
• Yes,
• speak every single day.
• Speak even if you feel shy.
• Speak even if you make mistakes.
• Speak even if you have no one to talk to,
• you can talk to yourself.
• You can stand in front of the mirror and talk.
• You can say simple sentences like I am happy or this is my room or today is a good day.
• When you speak again and again,
• your mouth becomes used to English.
• Your tongue and your lips start to move easily.
• You speak faster,
• you speak better.
• Speaking is like exercise.
• The more you do it,
• the stronger you get.
• So don't wait for someone to speak to you.
• You start first.
• Just talk out loud alone every day.
• The third step is to not be afraid of mistakes.
• Many learners stop speaking because they are scared of mistakes.
• But mistakes are not bad.
• Mistakes are good.
• Mistakes help you learn.
• Every time you make a mistake,
• you learn something new.
• Remember this.
• No one in the world speaks perfect English all the time.
• Even native English speakers make mistakes.
• They forget words,
• they say the wrong thing.
• So why should you feel bad?
• Just smile and try again.
• Speak bravely.
• Speak with confidence.
• Your mistakes are your teachers.
• Now we come to the fourth step.
• This step is about learning small sentences.
• First,
• many people try to learn difficult grammar.
• In the beginning.
• They try to remember long words and complex rules,
• but this makes them tired and confused.
• So don't start with big grammar.
• Start with small,
• useful sentences.
• Learn how to say things like what is your name,
• where are you from,
• can you help me or I am learning English?
• These small sentences are very powerful.
• You use them in real life,
• use them again and again.
• Repeat them every day.
• When these sentences become easy,
• then you can move to longer sentences.
• The next step is something many people forget.
• This step is called copy and repeat.
• It is also known as shadowing.
• Shadowing means listening to someone speaking English and saying the same thing after them.
• You copy their words,
• their voice,
• their tone and their speed.
• You do not write anything.
• You just listen and speak.
• For example,
• you watch a video of someone saying I like to read books.
• You pause and say I like to read books.
• Then the next line.
• You do this every day soon your mouth will move,
• just like native speakers.
• Your fluency will improve a lot.
• Now comes a very powerful step thinking in English.
• Most learners think in their own language and then try to change the words into English.
• This takes time.
• This slows you down.
• So try to think in English.
• Start with small things.
• For example,
• if you want water,
• don't think pani chahe or agua porfavour.
• Just think I need water.
• If you see a dog,
• think this dog is cute,
• these small English thoughts will change your brain slowly.
• After some time,
• English will become your thinking language.
• Then speaking will be easy and fast.
• Another helpful step is to practice speaking with others.
• If you have a friend who is also learning English,
• talk to them.
• Make a plan to speaking English for 15 minutes every day.
• Talk about your day,
• your food,
• your hobbies or your dreams.
• Laugh,
• enjoy,
• and keep speaking.
• If you do not have anyone to talk to,
• use a voice recording APP,
• record yourself speaking,
• then listen to it and try again.
• You can also use language exchange apps or join English speaking groups online.
• There are many people like you who want to practice.
• You just have to start.
• Here are a few more helpful tips.
• Always stay positive.
• Don't say my English is bad.
• Say I am learning I am getting better.
• Don't say I can't speak.
• Say I am practicing every day.
• Believe in yourself.
• Speak slowly and clearly.
• Don't rush.
• Don't worry about big grammar rules in the beginning.
• Just use simple English.
• Make English a part of your daily life.
• Speak English while walking.
• Speak English while cooking.
• Speak English while thinking slowly.
• English will become natural to you.
• And remember,
• learning a language takes time.
• It is like planting a tree.
• First you plant the seed,
• then you water it every day.
• At first you see nothing.
• But one day,
• a small plant comes out.
• After many days,
• it becomes a tree.
• Speaking English is like that.
• You need time,
• care and daily practice,
• but one day you will speak fluently,
• one day you will speak without fear.
• One day you will say,
• wow,
• I did it.
