Do these things to improve English!

• Find out a friend who also wants to improve his or her English and have lunch or dinner with him/her. Make it a habit and utilize the whole time for communicating in English. If you don't have enough time to go out and meet people at least you can chat a little by telephone. Take a strong decision both of you to speak in English, only in English
• Read a book with lots of dialogues. Dialogue is also much easier to understand than descriptive parts of a book, and is much more like the language you will want to learn in order to be able to speak English in an easy way. Buy conversation practice books and study them carefully.
• When you get up in the morning, listen to English news on radio, watch an English TV channel, or read an English newspaper without missing.
• Write something in English! Even if you only write one sentence a day, this will help you focus and THINK in English. So write something every day in English language.
• If you want to improve your English speaking ability, then you have to spend enough time for that; at least half an hour per day.
• Focussing on mistakes makes you feel shy, which makes you speak less. So don’t worry of making mistakes in the initial stage, just go on speaking!

If you follow these things no doubt you can improve your English speaking skill. Best of Luck!

Problems for Ineffective Communication

• Poor Vocabulary: If the vocabulary is limited, then we use the same words again and again. Also we find our self-struggling with words. A good vocabulary helps the speaker to use multiple words for conveying the same message. Keeping this in mind, we should develop our vocabulary time to time.
• Lack of practice: By having good English material and knowing how to improve communication is not enough, you have to practice it consistently and then only you can be successful as a good speaker in English.
• Fear & anxiety: Most of the people get over anxious when asked to speak in front of many people. The more you believe that speaking in front of a crowd is difficult, the more difficult it will be.
• Issue of reputation getting damaged: It happens that when we are unable to speak clearly and fluently or even make mistakes in basic sentences, then people laugh at us. This damages our reputation in our own eyes. This is one of the biggest fears which need to be conquered.
• Memory loss while speaking in English: When we are over anxious in speaking, then our memory also vanishes. We forget the basic lines that we had learn by heart. This happens a lot of time to many people. Stay calm, and tell your brains that it's all right to converse normally. If you can handle your anxiety, then the effect of memory loss is very much minimized.
• People will laugh at me: If you think that people will laugh at you in case if you make a mistake, you can’t speak fluently. So just erase the feeling from your mind and try to speak in English whenever you get an opportunity.
