I think every one has indicated to watch movies with English sub titles and read English publications or those books which interest you and write down the difficult words and then find their meaning through dictionary In this way if you learn new words each day after days you will have a vocabulary of new words.The perfection and fluency in your language will came once you have a good library of words.Mean while try to watch through movies how to pronounce a word.After that practice if you are shy or not confident just try to talk in front of mirror.Social media is a perfect platform you can contact with English speaking people through face book and you can chat with them as well.In short you its not that tough its quite easy if you try.For further help or assistance feel free to contact.Best of luck.
My advice is simple: Practise, practise and practise the language. All skills.
Fluency is a sub-skill of each skill of the English skills: listening fluency, speaking fluency, reading fluency, and writing fluency. The first three skills deal with pronunciation, whereas writing fluency deals with grammar and writing mechanism.
Reading fluency is to read words and sentences precisely with correct pronuncation.
Speaking fluency is also to speak words precisely with correct pronunciation.
Listening fluency is to hear exactly the same words spoken by the speaker.
Writing fluency is to write perfectly with no grammar mistakes and with following accurately the writing procedures.
For improving pronunciation, there are some steps:
1. start with reading and if you are not sure about a word pronunciation, check a good dictionary like Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary. It is also available as an application for computers. You can use it to write a word and listen to its pronunciation.
2. Read and record your reading to listen to your pronunciation. After finishing reading and recording, close the book and listen to yourself. Can you recognise all the words you hear? Keep trying until you start recognising all words spoken.
3. Choose short audios and try to write the words you hear.
4. Find an audio script with missing words, and try to guess the missing words while listening.
5. Choose audios and ask yourself "What is the main idea of the topic they are speaking about?"
6. find audios with questions to answer. Try to listen carefully and answer the questions.
7. speak to yourself and record your speech. Later, listen to yourself how you pronounce words.
8. Watch movies and focus on how they speak words (ignore translation because your task is to polish your pronunciation not comprehension).
For writing fluency, you can start with books teach you how write a paragraph and then how to develop your paragraph, as well as your grammar like Developing Composition Skills: Academic Writing and Grammar.
Good luck
1. Accept That English Is a Weird Language
Sometimes you can find patterns in English grammar, but other times English doesn’t make sense at all. For example, why are “read” (reed) and “read” (red) the same word, but pronounced differently depending on whether you’re speaking in the past or present tense? Or why is “mice” the plural of “mouse”, but “houses” is the plural of “house”?
Unfortunately, there are just as many exceptions as there are rules in English. It’s easy to get stuck on learning how to speak English properly, if you try to find a reason for everything. Sometimes English is weird and unexplainable, so instead the best thing to do is just memorize the strange exceptions and move on.
2. Dive into the Deep End
Studying English for an hour once a week isn’t usually enough to make any real progress. The best way to quickly improve your English is to spend at least a few minutes practicing every day. Immerse yourself as much as possible every time you study, and challenge yourself to listen to, read, and even say things in English that you think might be too difficult for you. If you want to speak English fluently, you need to make it an essential part of your everyday life.
3. Stop Being a Student
The right attitude can make the difference between failure and success. Stop thinking of yourself as someone who is learning English, and start thinking of yourself as someone who speaks English. It’s a small change, but it will make you feel more confident and help you to use the English you already know more effectively.
This also means you need to start thinking in English. If you want to say the word “apple” in English, for example, right now you probably think of the word in your native language first, and then try to think of the correct word in English. Instead, try imagining a picture of an apple, and then just think the English word “apple”. Real fluency happens when you stop mentally translating conversations.
4. Remember the Answer Is in the Question
Listen carefully when someone asks you a question in English and you’ll answer perfectly every time. English questions are like mirrors:
Does he…..? Yes, he does.
Can she….? Yes, she can.
Is it….? Yes, it is.
If someone asks you a question and you’re not sure how to answer, start by thinking about the words used in the question. The person has already said most of the words you need to make your answer. Instead of just memorizing English grammar, start to look for patterns like this one. There are a lot of simple ways to “cheat” and make it easier to remember the right words.
5. Get More out of Listening
When most students listen to a native English-speaker, they focus on understanding what all the words mean. This is definitely important, but there is a lot more you can learn from listening. Try listening not just to what the words mean, but to how the person says them. Notice which words the person links together in a sentence, or when they say “ya” instead of “you.” Try to remember these details the next time you speak and your English will begin to sound more natural.
Easier said than done, right? When you listen to native English speakers, it can be hard to understand every single word that is spoken. They might use many words you don’t know, talk too fast or have a strong accent. 6. Use It or Lose It
There’s an expression in English: “Use it or lose it,” which basically means if you don’t practice an ability, you might forget it. This idea can be used to help you remember new English vocabulary. The best way to remember a new word is to use it right away so it will stay in your memory. When you learn a new word, try to say it in sentences a few times over the next week and you’ll never forget it.
7. Learn and Study Phrases
Speaking English fluently means being able to express your thoughts, feelings and ideas. Your goal is to speak English in full sentences, so why not learn it in full sentences? You’ll find that English is more useful in your everyday life if you study whole phrases, rather than just vocabulary and verbs. Start by thinking about phrases that you use frequently in your native language, and then learn how to say them in English.
8. Don’t Study Grammar Too Much
The key to learning a language is finding a balance between studying and practicing. Speaking English fluently isn’t the same as knowing perfect English grammar – even native English-speakers make grammar mistakes! Fluency is about being able to communicate. That’s why sometimes it’s important to put the grammar textbook away, so you can go out and practice those writing, reading, listening and speaking skills in the real world.
9. Don’t Be Afraid to Make Mistakes
Sometimes it can be difficult to put all those rules and words together into a simple sentence. Don’t let the fear of saying something wrong stop you from speaking at all. Even if you think you’re making a mistake, keep speaking anyway. Most of the time, people will understand what you’re trying to say, even if you make a mistake. Plus, the more you speak, the easier it gets, and the more quickly the right words will come to mind.
10. Learn from Everyone
You don’t have to only learn English from textbooks and teachers – anyone who speaks English can help you practice. Imagine how you would feel if someone asked you, in your native language, how to pronounce something? Would you be angry? No! You’d probably be happy to help, just like most English-speakers are happy to help you. If you know any English-speakers, whether it’s a friend or co-worker, take advantage of the opportunity to practice and learn from them.
Hi!
Your own will to achieve your dream determines your growth in anything. If you really want to become fluent in English, exhaust all the means, starting from Grammar to Spoken or Verbal English.
Grammar first because it solidifies your foundation to rules that you will need to survive the native speaker's world.
Then, Spoken English, to make you feel at ease and all competitive with many speakers of English coming from different regions and hemispheres. This happens when you become a netizen, or when time comes you travel. Like, ever thought that the common word "robot" means "traffic signal" in South Africa? I never thought English will evolve in such ways.
And yes, practice with as many English language users as you need, without inhibitions and worry you commit mistakes--- ONE DAY AT A TIME. No expert became such in a short span of time, and even the experts committed many mistakes in the process of becoming one.
In all, enjoy this life learning journey cause you will tend to use much of your life years to achieve your goal. I have been an English speaker ever since the first day I was able to speak, and yet, i still do not find myself as expert as a native speaker is, and I still tend to lack many common, politically correct words in my dictionary. But, I hope I will be able to fulfill this goal in the mere future as I move on teaching the language.
Hope this helps:)!
Create an Englih-only environment around you
Then, practice
Cover all skils.
Don't stop
