Even after studying English for years in schools and colleges, we are not able to use the language with confidence. Then we have to take English-speaking courses to prepare for interviews etc.
Any language can be learned by listening as well as writing. But to write, we need to hear it. Listening and writing English has become an important part of life.
Learning English does not mean solving answers in class but speaking fluently without getting nervous and using it in real life. English will improve when our grammar is strong, we know how to pronounce words and our vocabulary is strong.
Apart from that, it is also important to understand and respond to any English sentence. Everyone has their way of learning English, some do English courses, some learn from mobile, some learn from newspapers, some from books, and some from television.
There are some techniques by which we can strengthen and improve our English.
1) Listening
This is a natural rule that listening to any language is very important to learn. Everyone also knows that we can speak, write, and read English only when we listen to it well.
In today’s world, we can improve listening skills through communication like watching English movies or TV talk shows, cartoon films that are in English, or news channel interviews of celebrities. The more we listen to English, the more our pronunciation will improve.
2) Read and Write
To gain any knowledge we have to read it, similarly to improve English we have to read it. The more we read the more information we will get and our vocabulary will improve. Reading aloud will increase our English speaking fluency.
Books have always been a good friend of man. To improve your English you can read English books or English novels and newspapers, along with reading the subtitles in English movies which will improve your listening and reading skills.
It is also important to listen to English and we cannot write English without reading because it can lead to grammatical mistakes and spelling mistakes.
Whatever we listen to does not always stay in our minds, some things remain but whatever we listen to and write it will always remain with us. The more we write essay writing, articles, and assignments, the more our memory will be enhanced.
3) Speaking
We are always hesitant to speak English knowing that it is not easy but practice is like learning other languages. As much as you speak, your speaking will improve. The best way to speak better is to, well – speak! Talk to as many people as you can like family members, friends, neighbors, teachers, colleagues, and classmates.
So improving speaking English by reading dialogues and conversations, of course, will help you to answer any question. Similarly, shadowing is a technique that you can use to improve your speaking.
