Is it really difficult to speak English? (There are millions of people around...)

[MariaEbb]

Do we have to record just that text for make it possible for others to say if we speak a good English or not? Why not just record someting about ourselves in English. It will be more natural than reading a text. I am very bad at reading English out loud. I am much better at speaking English. I hate reading English aloud.

No, it's not easy. Many people can say that this is the easiest language to learn. Learn english is a process. Normal you take more than two years to speak fluently. First you have to understand the grammar, than vocabulary, the most difficult part speaking and finally listening. You have to save the words, the verbs, most of them have many meanings. So, I'm not saying that learn english is extremly difficult. To speak english you have to work hard.

Hello everyone,

There are millions of people around the world who want to improve their English speaking skills. However, only a few of them know how to achieve that goal.

Speaking English requires a lot of practice and constant work. It's similar to do doing a sport: Only if you practise it on a regular basis, can you get good at it. That's why we'd like to invite you to record online voice messages together with us here on the forum. Read this text out loud and record your own voice.

Post your recording on the forum so you can get feedback on your pronunciation, intonation and accent. We can even hold contests to nominate the best speaker or to guess the nationality of the reader.

When you are reading and recording this text, you have already overcome the fear of speaking English, which so many of us experience. Isn't that a great feeling? It's the start of your new life as an English speaker!

This is fun and interesting which I could suggest other people to practice their English here with English-test.net
