Practice English Conversation

Important Things In Practice English

There are 4 key skills when you learn languages:

1. Listening

2. Speaking

3. Reading

4. Writing

Which of these is "Odd-One-Out"? This one is different from the other three? The answer is to speak. You can do the other three yourself, alone, without others. You can listen to the radio only. You can read the book yourself. You can write letters alone. But you can't really speak for yourself! Talking to yourself can be "dangerous" because a man in a white suit might come and take you away !!

That's why you should try your best to find someone to talk to. Where can you find people who can speak English with you? And how can you practice speaking when you are alone?

 At School

If you go to language school, you must use the opportunity to talk to your teacher and other students. When you go home, you can still practice listening, reading and writing, but you may not be able to practice speaking. If your teacher asks you questions, take the opportunity to answer. Try to say as much as possible. If your teacher asks you to speak in pairs or groups with other students, try saying as much as possible. Don't worry about your mistakes. Just talk!

Conversation Club

Many cities around the world have conversation clubs where people can exchange one language with another. Look in your local newspaper to find a conversation club near you. They are usually free even though some may charge a small entry fee.

Shopping

If you live in an English-speaking country, you have a good chance. Practice talking to local residents such as shop assistants or taxi drivers. Even if you don't want to buy anything, you can ask questions about products that interest you in the store. "How much does this cost?" "Can I pay by check?" "Which do you recommend?" Often you can start a real conversation - and it costs nothing!

Pubs and Bars

Even if you don't live in an English-speaking country, there are often American, English, Irish and Australian pubs in many big cities. If you can find one of these pubs, you will probably meet many people who speak English as a first or second language.

Language is around you

Wherever you go, you find language. Store names, street names, advertisements, notifications on buses and trains ... Even if you are not in an English-speaking country, there are often many English words that you can see when walking on the road, especially in big cities. And there are always numbers. Car number, telephone number, house number ... How can this help you? When you walk on the road, practice reading the words and numbers you see. Tell yourself. This is not an actual conversation, but it will help you to "think" in English. For example, if you walk along a row of parked cars, say the number on each car quickly when you pass it. Test yourself, to see how fast you can walk and still say each number. But don't talk too loudly!

Songs and Videos

Listen to words from English songs that you like. Then repeat for yourself and try to sing with music. Repeat as many words as possible until they become automatic. Soon you will sing the whole song. Or listen to one of your favorite actors on the video and repeat one or two sentences that you like. Do it until it becomes automatic. This is a good exercise for your memory and for the mouth muscles that you need for English.

Most importantly, don't be afraid to talk. You must try to speak, even if you make a mistake. You cannot learn without mistakes. There is a saying: "The person who has never made a mistake never made anything." So consider your mistakes as something positive and useful.

Speak as much as possible! Make as many mistakes as possible! When you know that you have made a mistake, you know that you have made progress.

Those are about how you make simple conversation in your life for better English.. Thanks
