But with the right techniques, you can quickly improve your skills in speaking and writing the English language. This article will guide you through some of the most effective techniques for learning how to speak English fluently and confidently.

7 Tips on speaking English fluently and confidently
1. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes
It’s okay to make mistakes in English. It is normal to “speak without thinking,” or just “speaking out loud.” The only thing that matters is what you intend the words mean when they come out of your mouth. It’s important not get discouraged if you keep making mistakes while trying to speak the language fluently and confidently!
2. Practise, practise, practise
One of the barriers people face when learning any language is that they don’t properly approach it. They try to force themselves by doing drills and memorizing lists without actually putting in the time required to speak fluently and confidently.
The only way you’ll move forward with your English speaking skills is if you take steps each day towards mastering those new words, sentences and grammar structures – by practising how they sound in context using real spoken language and in writing.
3. Listen
One of the most effective ways to improve your English fluently and confidently is by listening. If you hear new words, phrases or grammar structures being spoken out loud it will begin to feel more natural over time as many patterns become easier to identify when they’re repeated. And if you recognise a pattern now and repeat it out loud, then soon enough your brain will know just how to correctly pronounce it. See also, listening to English is a skill.
4. Celebrate success
The best way to learn any skill is by taking small steps everyday while building on successes. Learn the super simple rules of English grammar, and practice speaking in “every day scenarios” just like a native speaker would use them you are more likely to progress towards fluency faster when making those first baby step efforts.
5. Think in English
What would you do if someone told you they governed one of the largest countries in the world? Would they have any trouble understanding such a thought, or what it might mean to be lord and master of this land so large that can take two full days for your armies to move from north Tuscany towards France / Germany? If you ever find yourself stating some advice as if it was forever carved into stone, or is rumoured from the ages yet now revealed to be clearly understood by all of mankind then perhaps you should think again.
6. Talk to yourself
If you no longer have that one friend or family member who can speak English fluently, the best way to improve your listening comprehension is by talking in those new words and sentences without a native speaker present until it feels natural. It’s like learning a language all over again… but with a much stronger language, just because of where & how you learn it!
7. Tongue twisters
I learned these tongue twisters a little while ago and they can be the best way to really test how well you’ve grasped English grammar patterns. Here are examples with accompanying explanations;
The fox, he heard it bark: But what does that mean? Probably this is focused on ‘knowing when something will happen’ or ‘that will have happened! And yet we still don’t know exactly why this happens – but perhaps this might be a key to them in understanding the concept of “presence”?
The pot, it boiled over: Yes! This is useful for testing whether you fully understand how verb tenses work. The sounds and symbols used does not have any particular or immediate meaning to us; but within language communities, these things are learned very early on so that their speaker can correctly follow the rule laid down by our sound system distinguishing different statements into different tenses.
The fox, he crossed the river: Well at least this is something specific we understand! I can agree with you that ‘this too (not) be’ would make more sense to a native speaker…(if… your knowledge of language patterns comes from any particular region or culture). But besides being an easily remembered tongue twister it also expresses whether they have sufficiently grasped time travel and related issues like since when – so if you want to test their knowledge of temporal verbs then there’s no better way.
Statement – Tongue twister most relevant statement ————— will be, was, were and all the other forms that go with them were omitted for brevity but are almost certainly still present within sentences!
All in all, I think the above examples demonstrate that there is some correlation between the structure of language and human thought. This can be seen in how we talk about time, space, causality, causally related events and many other things – this might even have a greater role to play than we first thought!
In an earlier post, I made reference to “some kind of quantum state” (see comments) – I was thinking about something that might relate language to a quantum state such as the Schrödinger equation for an atom (which can be used in conjunction with Cleveholm’s ‘Heisenberg effect’).
