A basic guide to speaking fluent English

The fear of making mistakes in front of an audience is the most natural human reaction in the world, especially when it comes to speaking English. In these cases, the first thing we think is that because of poor pronunciation or lack of vocabulary we are going to say nonsense and everyone will laugh. 

That is why when a student starts an English course from zero or from a basic level he feels afraid to speak in front of his classmates or his teacher, but this does not have to be the rule, you have to lose that fear that in the end does not help at all.

Today I want to dedicate this blog I'm here to teach you some simple and practical tricks ranging from meditation to prepare the mind to oral practice to lose the fear of speaking English in public, so I invite you to read with me this article from Planet Immiland to the end! Afterwards, we can comment on our social networks.

Practical guide to speaking fluent English

These tips and effective strategies for incorporating the new language into your life will work for you:

1. Using relaxation techniques before speaking in public helps prepare the mind to accept the new language, calms the nerves and allows them to concentrate better.
   
   Important: speaking fluent English It is not only about learning grammar and vocabulary, but also about gaining the confidence to communicate naturally.
   
   
2. Preparing a typical conversation or speech and practicing it at home is essential. They can write down what they did during the day and practice it out loud several times. This will give them confidence and help them remember what they want to say in their next public conversation.
3. Recording your voice in English and listening to it later helps you to speak without embarrassment, since you will be alone practicing without the fear that someone will question you. Today more than ever you can do it, even with your cell phone.
   
   Don't forget to take notes on what you hear so that you can optimize it. The idea is to identify areas for improvement and get used to your own English voice.
   
   
4. Join an English conversation club. Participating in activities that involve speaking in English is super effective because everyone there is in the same condition of wanting to lose their fear, so they will feel more comfortable.
   
   The good thing is that many conversation clubs are led by English teachers and can channel everyone's ideas, help them formulate questions, complement vocabulary and correct pronunciation.

   To err is human, so it is normal that while you are learning and gaining confidence to speak fluent English in public you will mix up vocabulary, gender matching, pronunciation, etc., but instead of punishing yourself for your mistakes, it is better to use them as opportunities to learn more. This brings me to the last tip in this guide.
   
5. Seek constructive feedback from friends, teachers or classmates. Ask if you are managing the correct pronunciation, practice a different greeting each day adding something new, enter the conversation as one of the group and use the conversations you recorded before class and incorporate other phrases and ideas. 

If you have already started speaking English in public, then take the opportunity to practice asking questions in English, making typical thank you responses, incorporating common everyday vocabulary, all of which lay the foundation for solid, well pronounced and fluent English.
