How can I practice speaking?

[Britney]

Hello,
First it is very important to improve your listening as much as you can. Then, in my opinion, one of the best ways to improve speaking is reproduction. I mean simply you can read short stories or watch a part of a movie and try to reproduce them orally. you can explain the story for someone or even for yourself. In order to check your pronounciation and accent you can record your voice and listen to it and try to correct yourself. Remember, if you want to be a good speaker you have to use your vocabulary knowledge as much as you can. In first steps of learning speaking fluency is more important than accuracy. Try not to pause between words, even if it leads to inaccuracy. After couple of times, whenever you feel that you are fluent to some extent, then be careful to be accurate. Good Luck
