understand the skill you have knowledge about the skill but you don't have enough practice you don't have enough exposure to use it in a situation or to use it properly that's where you're lacking that means you don't have many speaking opportunities or you not have been exposed to many speaking opportunities in your life and right now what is happening you're going through a crisis it's like in your life till now you were not given situations where you can use English where you can speak English and now suddenly you're required to speak in English there are
situations in your life where you have to speak in English and that's why you're going through a crisis you are not habitual of speaking in English and suddenly there is a need in your life to speak English it can be a college interview it can be speaking English at your college it can be a job interview it can be you are required to speak in English professionally you are somebody who needs to give presentations who needs to attend meetings and everything you are a person who responsible for handling communication of your company and that's why
you required to speak in English there can be a lot of reasons why you need English right now because English has become a very integral part of our lives but do not worry there are solutions through which we can tackle this problem because this is faced by many people and there is nothing in this word that we cannot solve and English is just a skill obviously we can Master it okay now coming back to all the six solutions for this problem and the solution number one is start talking to yourself talk to yourself you know
I have talked about this particular technique and this is one of the excellent techniques that can help you become habitual of speaking English because you're talking to yourself in your initial days of speaking English when you have just begun your English speaking Journey it can be really nerve-wracking or you might feel a bit hesitant while speaking in English with somebody because you might fear judgment you might fear making mistakes there are a lot of reasons for that so in this particular situation what you can do is you can talk to yourself talk to yourself because
when you're alone there's nobody to judge you even if you're making mistakes that's fine even if you are taking too much time while speaking it's okay because with time you're going to improve and once you have achieved a a proper pace of speaking particular accent pronunciation and you have developed a simple skill even a simple skill of speaking English then you can go and have conversation with people so now you have overcome this particular problem that you're taking too many pauses or you have to think a lot before speaking when you've overcome this particular problem
it'll be easier for you to have conversation with others but if you're at this particular stage where you're struggling to speak in English try talking to yourself for one month do this particular activity take a topic and talk to yourself about that topic speak everything out loud speak out loud and then repeat things when you'll talk to yourself you'll see Improvement because there is no one to judge there is no fear of judgment there is no fear of making mistakes because there is nobody to judge you that means you're free to make as many mistakes
as you want and with time you will improve on those mistakes when you'll keep on practicing and keep on improving your English side by side everything will reduce and the positivities the positive aspects they will come out and they'll be visible more you'll be able to notice all the positive changes in your speaking skills so talk to yourself this is going to change a lot about your confidence and speaking skills solution number two solution number two is use prefabricated sentences or phrases common phrases now what are prefabricated sentences prefabricated that means something that has already
been fabricated fabricate is to build or to make so sentences that you have already made or there are ready made prefabricated sentences that are used in a particular situation for example when you're meeting someone new you might use certain sentences to introduce yourself or you might use certain sentences to initiate a conversation there are sentences set sentences that can be used in some common situations that are very helpful at the beginning stages of speaking so if you're struggling to speak using these prefabricated sentences can help you speak English you just have to know in which
situation you need to use these particular sentences and then understand those sentences and learn them and then try speaking them whenever you get opportunity try using those sentences for example if you've learned a particular sentence in order to initiate a conversation for example you've learned oh hello how are you long time no see you can use it next time when you meet somebody try using that sentence now you have learned this particular sentence learn this particular phrase these are also called phrases which are short and which have a particular specific usage they are phrases so
prefabricated sentences and phrases both are important and they can help you speak English speak correct English at a beginning level of stage where you don't have to think too much about framing a sentence so you see your work is reducing you're not struggling to form a complete sentence you're not struggling Ling for the proper sentence structure you already have a prefabricated sentence or you have a phrase that you can use at that particular place and hence it makes speaking process easier now there are two types of phrases basic phrases and advanced phrases do not go
for advanced phrases right now for example your idioms and your Expressions do not go for that if you're at your beginning level of English speaking first go for common phrases for example long time no see how are you how have you been ah nice to meet you oh look there that's a nice one so that's a nice one small phrases common phrases that can be used in common situations common conversations start with those phrases and then once you have mastered those common phrases then you can move to the advanced one the idioms like bite the
bullet under the weather so they are your Advanced phrases solution number three okay solution number three is again very important aspect of your English speaking and I have mentioned this a lot and I'm going to mention this once again that is use it or lose it so you know that I have also mentioned it once before regarding your vocabulary how to remember everything in English and I'm I'm going to use it once again this time for speaking English use it or lose it what exactly is this use it or lose it that means whatever you're
learning in English maybe you're listening to a podcast and you're learning new words you're writing them down you're learning new phrases you're recording them but are you using them right away if you're not you will never be able to speak them they're going to be there in your mind in your memory and they are going to remain in the part where you can understand them but you cannot speak them they'll always remain in that particular zone so use it or lose it that means whenever you learn something new immediately use it otherwise you're going to
lose it that means you will never be able to speak it out comfortably you will never be able to use it in a conversation or when you're speaking English in a real situation I'm not just talking about your practice session but the real situation where you're required to speak speaking English so use whatever you're learning immediately for doing that you can make some sentences if you're learning a particular word try forming two example sentences and then speak them out loud when you speak them out loud you are making yourself habitual of using those words and
you're preparing your mind to use the words next time now these sentences will act actually like prefabricated sentences because your mind is now fam with those sentences so they become your prefabricated sentences and in future you might use those sentences without even deliberately knowing that you've used those so that's why it's important to use it otherwise you lose it solution number four write down everything that you want to speak now writing down everything that you want to speak will help you a lot I know it's not practical for your real time conversations when you're speaking
outside in the real world I totally understand but this is a great way to practice your English something that you can do while practicing your English so a particular exercise that can help you speak English help you develop the habit of speaking English so you know English you understand English you can understand English will that means you can also write English so just write down whatever you want to speak whatever is the topic for the day that you're going to speak about write everything down it can be about your favorite movie it can be about
a book it can be about what you did in that particular day it can be about what you're going to do next day whatever is your topic your achievements a happy moment whatever is your topic you just have to write it down write at least 300 400 words and then read it once once you've read it speak out loud everything speak everything out loud and you can also speak it while reading as you go but do not read and speak every time once you have written it read it speak everything out loud while you're reading
it after that you have to keep that paper aside and then speak everything speak you'll see that you're able to speak better and this particular exercise will improve your English speaking skills over the time and hence you will start speaking English the areas in which you struggle that you're not able to speak English you hesitate to speak English they will reduce and you'll see that this is helped you actually a lot solution number five solution number five is to think in English yes thinking in English is important and this is a particular skill that you
can develop so if you have the ability to think in English speaking in English will become easier now why see when you write English you have ample and ample of time to think about what you're going to write you have the Liberty to think about it but when you are speaking English you don't have Liberty to think about what you're going to speak how you're going to form sentences what words are going to use you don't have the Liberty to select particular vocabulary no it's a spontaneous it's on the spot so if you have the
ability to think in English you'll see that speaking English becomes easier because there is no translation in your head you don't struggle to choose things and choose words Things become more spontaneous more natural with a particular flow flow so thinking in English will help you develop this habit of speaking in English and once you've mastered the skill you'll see that speaking becomes easier and then you will be able to speak in English with a flow and fluency now how to think in English for that I have particular video for you that you people are actually
