Why you want to learn/ stay motivated
First things first, why do you want to learn English? You need to have a clear goal and the reason before you start your endeavors. Having clarity will not only help you focus on the task at hand more efficiently, it will also help you keep motivated. If you wish to excel in English so that you could get a better job, you need to write down the list of things and the benefits you’d get with the good job. The list will help you keep motivated and encourage you to work towards improving your language skill.
Learn the use of synonyms
Using synonyms or the similar meaning words is a powerful and an extremely efficient way to help enhance the fluency of your English language. First, you need to analyze that which are the few words that you use frequently in your speech. Using the same word over and over again may make you sound repetitive. Learn the synonyms of those words and try to use them in your speech. It will have a great impact on your speech/ For example, use the words stunning, gorgeous, pretty, etc. to describe something that is beautiful; instead of using the word beautiful every time.
Listen
Nothing helps you learn a new language, or enhance the fluency in speech like listening. The more you listen, attentively, the more you’ll learn. Listening to people or anyone who speaks English will improve your vocabulary and your spoken skills, equally. It will give you a fair idea about how to form sentences, how to use certain words in a sentence, etc. Pay attention to anyone speaking in English and slowly and steadily you’d be speaking with the same fluency.
Reading
By reading, I don’t only mean reading textbooks or English grammar books. Reading, not just for the sake of learning, but for the sake of fun is but a great way to help you expand your vocabulary. When your mind is relaxed, it absorbs better and thus your learning is enhanced. Read stories, interesting books, on topics that you fancy. That will keep you interested as well as you might as well develop a habit of reading, which you’d be surprised how greatly helps you with your English fluency.
Use TV & movies to your advantage
Who doesn’t like watching a good movie from time to time; and what could be better than using the same enjoyable activity to learn something. As already mentioned, listening to native English speakers is the most efficient way to improve your language skills, thus watching English movies, shows, new channels, or just about any show in English is a great start to pave your path in order to help you be a pro in spoken English.
Don’t ignore grammar
A lot of people might tell you not to cram the grammar books, in order to learn English. Though this might prove to be helpful to some extent, but you can’t really learn a language without being familiar with the basic grammar rules. You need to be well versed with the basic grammar rules in order for you to take it a step ahead and learn to incorporate them in your speech.
Practice
You may learn English and know all the grammar rules, but you won’t be able to speak it fluently unless you practice it. The easiest way to do so is, to practice speaking English with you, standing in front of the mirror or otherwise. This will not only give you confidence, but will help you improve without the fear of making mistakes.
