However, your friends and co-workers may be
hesitant to correct how you speak because they do
not want you to feel discouraged.

Read Out Loud Select childrens books or books
written for tweens and teens since they are
easier to read and focus on the general rules of
grammar

and contain basic and common vocabulary words
used on a regular basis. Reading out loud allows
you to practice speaking English and helps you
identify words you might find difficult to
pronounce and speak.

Make a List of Words As you are reading out
loud, make a list of any words you are not sure
if you are pronouncing correctly.

11
You can show the list to an English speaking
friend, co-worker, or teacher and ask him or her
how to pronounce the words correctly.

Exchange Language Skills If one of your English
speaking friends or co-workers is interested in
learning your native language,

offer to help them in exchange for their
assistance in developing your English skills. Not
only do they get to learn a second language, but
you also are able to improve your speaking
skills.

Listen to English Audio Books Audio books are a
great tool to use to hear how different words are
pronounced.

15
To practice your speaking skills, listen to a
sentence, pause the book and repeat it out loud.
Then replay the sentence to verify you spoke each
word correctly.

Record Yourself You can record yourself while
reading out loud or anytime you are practicing
speaking English.

Even though you might not like the sound of your
recorded voice, it can help you determine how
clearly you are pronouncing words. Add any words
that you are struggling with to your word list.

Sing Along to Your Favourite English
Songs Singing is another great way to help
improve speaking skills. You can obtain the song
lyrics by Googling the song.

You can sing in the shower or whenever you are
alone if you do not want others to hear you.
Another great tool that not only helps speaking
skills, but also reading skills, is karaoke!
