When we prepare for our written test, we should also examine our spoken skills. In this case, we should know our drawbacks. When we talk with others, we may get tongue tied and we may show our lack of skill or aptitude. We can master on spoken English through a smart listening process. It is as similar as our mother tongue that we have learnt through a highly effective listening process.

Listening Music And News

Another best way to improve spoken English is to watch English serials, movies, news, discussions, analyzes on the television or to listen English music. By doing so, you can easily improve your English.

Practice With Your Friend

Hi Engstu.

Thanks a lot for your effective tips for improving speaking skills. Listening is the
best way for speaking skills. Not only watching T V serials, music, movies, but also
we should talk to our friends daily without feeling shyness, hesitation, and mistakes.
When we watching movie, we will understand only the meaning, we cannot talk
that much fluently, where we can find our fluency, when we talk to our friends either
by telephon/inperson. Unexpectly if we see someone who can talk English only, there you can
watch your fluency. Some people will write nicely without mistakes, but they cannot
talk fluently, due to lack of practice.

So we should make our circle through English, for that people should join on
the forum like ETN there you can meet many people, your fluency & written will
improve definitely. You can listen so many people way of speaking English,
not only that you have to attend lot listening Exercises like TOEIC where you can listen
their conservation and their accent this will help you more than listening T V.
We should make a target that we should spend atleast 2 hours for listening 2 hours for wrtting
skills,and 1hour for chatting with friends (talking about useful topic) This way definitely we can improve our speaking skill. To overcome fear for attending group discussions, you make a circle(Group of Friends) create one Topic daily, you talk to them, this way you can overcome your lack of fluency when you attend group discussion. I am also trying for fluency, I shared my opinions with you.

Wish you all best.

Thank you
