if u wana b a gud speaker practise it daily...talk to others in english...each day learn a new vocab so that u can improve ur lang... whn u talk 2 others b confident...express ur point clerly wit confident....for me practise make perfect.... this way is better rather than learning grammatical rules 2 improve ur speking skills....gimme ur feedback....it juz my opinion...

i thr i think u should more consentrate on reading materials whereby u can speak with others in a proper language. other than the daily practice of speaking english also will b help to improve ur communication. u must be dare enough to speak out ur thoughts..thr is a quatation that we learn from mistake so just speak out my dear so that u can improve ur speaking skills.

hi, i think that both are good ways to master a good English.But i think that it is important for one to analyse the English language before speaking. It is because although you can speak well, it doesnt mean that you are good in speaking....maybe to some low proficiency hearers, they will feel envy towards you because you can speak well. But if you converse with high proficiency English speaker, they will feel that your speaking skill is poor because it is full of grammatical mistakes.... However, I do not mean that without the correct English grammatical rule, one cannot speak....you can always speak in English and at the sametime, learn the grammatical rules also in order to improve your english skill.

Hey Praba
Besides conversing in English on a daily basis, try to read up as many English materials as you can. Have a vocabulary book with you so that you can write the meaning of difficult words and make sure you read those words everyday to enhance your vocabulary knowledge. Try to apply the newly learnt words in your daily conversation with your fellow friends. Also try to watch English movies and sitcoms without reading the provided subtitles. Remember, the most important thing is don't be afraid to make mistakes. Good Luck. Have Fun With English. You'll Love It.

I'm very interested in English. So I like reading English book,watching English programs and other things about it.
How can we learn English well? Most important, I think we should develop an interest in it. If you want to be better at english,you shold do more reading,listening. Then we should go out to listen, speak and write.Furthermore, we should practise use it whenever possible. In class we should answer question actively. After class, we should talk to each other in English. On the other hand, I think listen to the English song is also very good way, you can learn much from them.
All these are my opinions, you can try.

English is very important, so we'd better try us best to learn it. I agree with what you told that how to learn English well. That give me some ideas, thank you. English is include speaking, writing, listening, grammer.I think that if you do bussiness your speaking and listening must be well. That means we can choose the part what you need, try to do these parts well because learning English is a very long process and must have enough time. You are right use it ofen, learn it by listen to the music.
I will try it. wish everyone will can use it better than before.
