To begin, it must be considered that speaking English well needs proper time. We must not assume that we can speak just like someone whose mother tongue is English right off the bat. After all, we need to remind ourselves that the Eiffel Tower was not built in one day.

Just like a child who can speak easily right after listening, you too can easily speak, so be patient. On one hand, speaking English depends on you yourself. Speaking in English is not as easy as your own mother tongue and needs more effort. Try to change your environment into an English one and get yourself involved with this language. The best technique can be finding a friend who likes English as much as you do and with whom you can cooperate and interact based on information, especially if you happen to be the same age, which helps you find more things in common.

You can use the Internet to reach beyond your own environment and familiarize yourself with up to date information as well as new English phrases. Further, through cellphone applications and English learning web sites, you can find English speaking friends from other countries. There is no doubt that cultural varieties and different accents can be very attractive so get involved online.

If you happen to have a personality of the introvert type or do not possess the skills to communicate with others easily, you can speak English with yourself and even think in English, which can help improve your self-confidence. We know that a long trip begins with the first step and that is surely the hardest part. However, the following steps prove to be easier to take and your improvement takes place faster in the same way. You may not succeed at first and others may ridicule you because of your mistakes. Speaking a second language without making mistakes is pretty much impossible. The more you obsess over mistakes and precision, the more you slow down your own progress. You must assume that you are a child who speaks his/her mother tongue with errors.

In order to assess your personal skills, you can record your own voice and listen to it at another time and pay attention to weaknesses and strengths. If you are not sure about the pronunciation of a word, the best way is to look for a standard online dictionary where you can hear words get pronounced by the recorder. During conversation with others, it is possible that you may forget a particular phrase or not even know what to use. In such situations, try not to lose your self-confidence and if possible use alternative words in order to send your intentions across.

All in all, by expanding your vocabulary, you are able to easily express yourself through speaking and writing. Thus, as a student of the languages, it is better to make learning new words a part of your daily routine.
