Useful English Speaking Tips
How to speak English by yourself?
Tip one: Learn from the root. How to define this sentence? Probably people will feel puzzled and bewildered, but my idea in this case is very simple and easy to understand for any person. What's the most fundamental element in English language? I bet it is the letter. English is comprised of A, B, C, D, E... these 26 letters. Yes, no matter how beautiful your English is, you cannot afford to not to use such 26 letters. So you need to start with the letters. First, get to know their pronunciations. Don't think this is easy to do, indeed it is a rather difficult mission. Each letter has its unique pronunciation, so you will have to pronounce each one carefully so that you can really speak them correctly. But my standard is for you to speak such letters as the natives do. If the natives speak A in /ei/, not too long nor too short or any other, then you should do the same. Now it requires you to have a qualified teacher or one software like Rosetta Stone. Second, when learning English words, you will have to remember their meaning accurately, and you should also learn some grammar knowledge. Using Rosetta Stone can really help you remember English words very efficiently, for it uses the word-image way to help you and you don't need to recite words like mad. But sometimes some words hold many meanings so that you cannot distinguish them so clearly at once. Although you have Rosetta Stone English, you have to consider this problem. For instance, "date" this word has many meanings. Sometimes it means a day, sometimes, an appointment with the one you may have feelings about and sometimes a kind of fruit for eating. So don't you think you should tell their meanings clearly?Tip two: Speak English slowly. If you have notice that nearly all the English teachers speak slowly. If you haven't, you should need to observe this time. Why? Because if they speak too fast, their students may faint. "What the teacher is talking about?" "What should I do if I cannot understand you?" Such questions may appear. Even when you use a qualified language learning software, you will find that the narrator is not shooting bullets from a machine gun. Teachers speak slowly, for they want students to understand them; the narrator speaks slowly, he wants to let the learner listen clearly and then the listener can then repeat or retell. But why should you speak so slowly? You want to understand everything you speak and make others think your English is acceptable and understandable. Since you are a learner, you cannot control the waves of English. Some words seem to be difficult to pronounce and others may appear confusing. If you speak too quickly, you will not have time to confirm their meanings. Besides, when you speak too fast, you will never control the intonation. When you speak your native language, you must have your personal intonation, so that you can express your ideas and emotions correctly. The narrator for Rosetta Stone English speaks always with a strong intonation, which means it is the real English. So your way is to follow it to learn to speak correctly.
Tip three: Find good partners or tools to assist you. When you browse the webs, you will always see such a sentence. But when you see their ideas inside such a sentence, you may want to vomit, for they speak nothing but trash. But now I would love to stress this point too, no trash I confirm. Who are good partners for you to practice oral English? Native speakers? Your teachers? English major students? Or any other people? If I were you, I would find a native English speaker, but my condition is that this person is a well-educated person who teaches people English. Usually such people will have the standard English pronunciation, intonation and proper grammar. Maybe people today ignore English grammar in spoken English, but you shouldn't if you really want to speak good English. We can be grammatically wrong, but we are improving ourselves now! If you cannot find good partners like this, you shall find some good friends who can share ideas with you in English. Certainly your friends should be qualified too. Certainly those who have the similar level with you can help you make a good conversation too. But if you need to get a software, you should consider such things: pronunciation, intonation, proper grammar and qualified corresponding virtual conversations for you to practice. In this respect you can choose Rosetta Stone English. Of course, if you choose others, it doesn't matter either. Your goal is to speak fluent English, not the methods.
