Why is she in  my class? That's how good her English was. Her pronunciation was amazing.

Her vocabulary  was enormous. She spoke English perfectly. So I asked her - Have you ever lived in an English  speaking country?

Did you study in the US? And she said No. I've never lived in an  English speaking country and I've never studied abroad.

"And immediately, I asked  her, 'How are you able to speak English so well? ' And you know what she told me? " She surrounded herself with English.

We talked about our interests and hobbies. And I  practiced my Turkish, learned new expressions, and gained confidence in speaking. It was  a great way to improve my language skills.

Tip number 4. Write a Journal in English. Write about your day, your thoughts, or anything  you like.

It's a cool way to practice writing and express yourself. For example, I love writing  things that I am grateful for. Try to do the same in English.

Describe the things you have in your  life using the English language. As you do that, you will improve. Plus, you can look back and  see how much your English has improved over time.

A few months later, when you read your journal,  you'll see how your English writing has improved since the beginning. So what do you have to do  to start speaking English fluently? You have to focus on writing.

Tip number 6. Memorize different English phrases and use them in different contexts. To improve  your English fluency, learn different phrases and use them in different situations.

Start by  remembering common phrases and practice using them when you talk or write. Let’s say you have learned  a common idiom that native English speakers say. You can go to Youglish.

com and type a phrase  here, so you will hear that phrase in different contexts and you can understand it better.  For example, let’s type a phrase ‘to be on the ball’. This phrase means to be very  attentive and focused.

You can see this phrase in different contexts. This helps you  use new words and phrases in the right way. Tip number 7.

Be consistent. It doesn’t  have to be like 8 hours a day. Sometimes students don’t understand what the power of  consistency is.

The power of consistency is when you practice every day. You practice a  little bit every day. Speak English a little bit every day.

Just do something every day, and as you do that, you will improve. Tip number 8. Listen and imitate native speakers.

Find a person, a native English speaker, you enjoy listening  to, and imitate them.
