1. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes

Your goal is to deliver a message, not speak perfect English, with the right grammar and vocabulary. Even native English speakers make mistakes!

2. Practise, practise, practise

Practice makes perfect. Constantly look for opportunities to test out your spoken English. Busuu's online English classes, for instance, are interactive, 45-minute group lessons, guided by a professional teacher. They are a great way to practise speaking English and learn faster in a fun, safe environment.

3. Listen

The more you hear, the easier it will be for you to speak better English. You’ll start speaking more fluently and confidently in English conversations, learning how to give your opinions in English with new expressions and idioms.

4. Celebrate success

Every time you talk to someone in English is an achievement. Every single interaction you have, no matter how small, will help you improve your skills over time. Be proud of your progress.

These first four tips help provide the best way to start speaking English with ease. The following three steps will help take your English speaking skills to the next level...

Use a mirror and focus on fluency

Set aside a few minutes each day to stand in front of the mirror and practice speaking. Choose a topic you like to speak about, set a timer for 3 minutes, and discuss it with your imaginary study buddy. The primary purpose of this speaking exercise is to analyze the way you talk, focus strongly on pronunciation, and learn how to express your ideas in English without stopping or taking pauses when you speak.

This exercise is also an opportunity to spot any consistent errors you make and note them down. If you get stuck on a word you don’t know, make the effort to describe it another way. This is an important skill to learn, as you’re not going to know every word for everything in English. At first, your sentences may not be grammatically perfect, but there’s nothing wrong with that. The important thing is to try not to stop!
Practice listening during downtime

This exercise is straightforward but still crucial. A great way to learn a language, even while you’re not studying, is to listen passively. In case you are too overloaded with daily tasks and simply have no time for regular practicing, you can try to listen to English music or audiobooks during your spare time.

In your daily life, many activities don’t require deep thinking — walking, running on a machine, heading to work. Don’t waste these precious hours scrolling social media. If you’re really dedicated, your music player should contain the biggest part of songs in English. No matter what style you prefer, pay particular attention to the lyrics and do your best to understand the context of the song (and sing along, if you’re not shy!).

Make the most of podcasts

A lot of students who study languages are big on the podcasts. And there are many reasons why podcasts can help you learn a language. Did you know that there were studies that showed that listening to English helped learners’ pronunciation and speaking skills too?

By listening to this type of content, you practice your skills and learn useful conversation starters about things that interest you the most — arts, sports, politics, communications, etc. There are also specific podcasts created for English learners. By listening attentively, you can also improve your speaking accuracy. Begin paying attention to not only what is said but also how it is said.
