How to speak fluent english


In India speaking English with fluency is an added feather to your cap while you learn the language for your professional as well as personal goals. Well to begin with some guidelines to help you through a proper devised method of speaking fluent English we first assume that you are at least are abreast of the basics of English language such as grammar, sentence construction and to some extent the pronunciation of the language.

1. Learn to speak English
Now to 'learn to speak English' in an efficient manner the very first step is to memorize as many words as you can and refurbish your vocabulary to a level where you can increase the pace of English speaking. Of course this will happen gradually and naturally with your improvisation skills as you keep up with your regular practice in refining your vocabulary to better levels. To attain, this you will have to maintain a 'step-wise' learning procedure for instance learning ten new words per day and applying them in your language. Sentence construction in this way will help you improve your utility of the vocabulary that you learn on a routine basis.

2. Speak English fluently
Make sure you incorporate all that you learn about English in your day to day conversation with the people whom you meet. The more you apply what you have learnt the more fluent will your English turn. For example if you have learnt about 'Exclamatory marks' something like 'hey!' then try applying this word with someone like this, "Hey! How are you today?" This brings us close to accuracy in our spoken English and will further be helpful in speeding your language fluency as you speak with lesser 'pauses' or hurdles. Again elements like 'Homophones' or words with similar pronunciation and sounds but with different spellings should be known well to avoid any 'hotchpotch' later. For example the words 'see' and 'sea' would surely have the same sound and pronunciation but you got to understand its usage at 'its right place'!

3. How to speak English fluently
It is needless to say that the domain of 'consonants', 'vowels', 'sounds' together learnt under one single study of 'phonetics' powerfully exists in the fluency of spoken English, yet it is imperative to for us to adapt to the 'kind' of English which people from different countries are used to speaking. For example in American English the words such as 'yet' or 'yesterday' often break the rules of simple and past tenses while they are used. In south west England the most common errors that we get to hear repeatedly are 'I be', 'we be',' they be' etc. Native English speakers efficiently become adaptive in their language with their changing situations. A better option for this would be to avoid confusion with 'tenses' especially the ones with present perfect if it goes fine with you. E.g. 1. I have been to Mumbai (Time unknown) or E.g.2. I went to Mumbai some time ago (Exact time unknown). This will makes things easier in terms of speaking the 'right' tense.
