English speaking tips


Here you will find some tips on how to improve your English conversation skills.

Fluency

The main goal is fluency. Remember that you don't have to know many complex grammatical structures to achieve that goal! First of all try to speak as fluent as possible (even making some grammar mistakes). Than, after making your speaking fluent, you can focus on grammar aspects.

English vocabulary learning

Many people thinks that knowing a lot of words is a key to fluent speaking. It's true! However, there are many people who have wide idiolect and problem with fluency. They try to learn more and more words because they think vocabulary is their problem. They don't realize the problem is somewhere else. They always tries to use exact translation of the word they want to use, but it cause that they often get stuck.

If you have same problem remember that almost all words can be swapped by some other words. If you'll be speaking and suddenly stop, trying to get to your mind translation of some word, forget it! Try to say what you have on mind in other words - practicing it is a real key to fluent English conversation!
