If you want to speak another language well, do you know what you need to do to accomplish that? Well, it seems simple enough… SPEAK it! You won’t learn to be a good speaker just by studying grammar and vocabulary. Sure, these are the building blocks of the language. But when you only focus on grammar and vocabulary, your new language is not connected. And while you may pick up pieces here and there, you won’t ever become fluent. Reading and writing help you to see and “feel” the whole language. It’s a step beyond studying grammar and vocabulary because you can see how both grammar and vocabulary are used in real context. Reading is a fantastic way for your brain to pick up the “nuances” of the language. Listening takes you a step further to being a good speaker. Listening prepares you for speech. Do you realize that you will always be able to understand more than you can speak? Babies understand a lot even before they start speaking. And if you are honest with yourself, you will recognize that you understand a lot more in your native language than you actually use in your everyday speech. But truly, the best way to be a good speaker of a new language is by speaking it. Put yourself in situations whenever you can to use the language. Don’t by shy. And don’t worry too much about making mistakes. They will happen until you have enough experience speaking a lot. Just expect it. So what if you don’t have many opportunities to speak the new language? I recommend that you talk to yourself. Yes, I know that sounds a little crazy, and it might be if you are in a group. So do this when you are alone. Talk to yourself and think about the words and grammar that you want to use. You can also think about the pronunciation you are using and make slight changes to be sure you are sounding good. Go ahead and ask yourself questions and then give the answers. You can pretend that you are telling someone about your day. Or give a speech to an imaginary audience. These kinds of scenarios give you practice for when you are in a real conversation. This is not crazy stuff. This really works. There are a lot of people who can tell you that it has really helped them. Talking to yourself can be very helpful in becoming a better speaker of any new language. Get to know more about English pronunciation, american accent mp3,and american accent audios here.
