words you don't need to know big words simple words are enough just try to say what you want people will understand when I started I was scared people might laugh at me but I learned that if I don't speak I can't get better so I spoke anyway most people were kind and helped me if you feel nervous that's okay take a deep breath smile and start talking it gets easier every time another way to learn is by reading out loud when you read your brain gets used to words it's like exercise the more you do

you speak you are getting better when I started I watched movies in English I did understand much but I kept watching I paid attention to how people spoke and used their faces and hands I learned that speaking is not just about words it's about feelings too when you speak don't be afraid to show your feelings smile when you're happy frown when you're confused language is how we share our hearts sometimes times you might feel stuck you may think you're not improving but that's normal learning is like climbing a hill some days are fast some are

slow but you are always moving forward set small goals one day focus on new words the next day focus on speaking clearly little by little you will improve and when you learn a new word or have a conversation celebrate every step is an achievement I also wrote a journal in English every night I wrote about my day it helped me think in English and get better when you practice speaking try thinking in English at first you may translate in your head but over time you will think in English more easily find friends who want to

the first step to overcoming fear is understanding that it's okay to make mistakes mistakes are not bad they help you learn the more mistakes you make the more you grow when I started speaking I was nervous my voice would shake and I would forget words but I kept speaking anyway I realized that the more I spoke the less I felt afraid one way to fight fear is to remind yourself that you are learning not trying to be perfect when you focus on learning you stop worrying about being perfect it's okay to make mistakes and not

know everything another way to overcome fear is to practice every day when you practice a lot you get better the more you practice the more confident you feel it's like learning to ride a bike at first it's hard but after practicing it gets easier start by speaking in front of a mirror look at yourself and speak in English this will help you practice and feel more comfortable you can also practice with your family or friends if you don't have anyone to practice with don't worry you can practice by yourself talk out loud when you're doing

not perfect start by speaking to yourself when you are alone practice saying simple sentences you can talk about what you did that day or describe something in the room this helps you feel more comfortable with speaking if you can find a friend to practice with speaking with someone else is a great way to improve you can practice everyday conversations for example you can ask and answer simple questions like how are you or what did you do today if you don't have a friend to practice with you can speak to your phone there are apps that

let you practice speaking and help with pronunciation you can also record yourself speaking when you listen to the recording you can hear what you need to improve it's also a good idea to practice speaking English in real situations for example try ordering food in English when you go to a restaurant or ask for directions if you are in a place where people speak English the more you speak in real situations the more confident you will feel don't worry about making mistakes everyone makes mistakes even native speakers if you say something wrong don't get upset just

keep going the important thing is to keep practicing you will learn from your mistakes and get better remember you don't need to speak perfect perfectly you just need to communicate people will understand you even if your grammar is not perfect what matters is that you are trying and that's how you learn another way to practice is by repeating what you hear for example when you listen to a conversation in English try to repeat what they say this helps you practice pronunciation and helps you learn new words if you want to sound more natural try to
