    How to Speak English Fluently

    Immerse (沉浸) yourself in English every day

     The best way to quickly improve your English is to spend at least a few minutes practicing every day.

    There's a special language learning method called "immersion". With immersion, you try to surround yourself with the language as much as you can in your day-to-day activities.

    Accept that English grammar has a lot of exceptions

    Sometimes, you can find patterns in English grammar, but other times English doesn't make sense at all. It's easy to get stuck on learning how to speak English properly if you try to find a reason for everything.  So the best thing to do is just memorize the strange exceptions and move on.

    Learn intonation, body language and gestures

    Intonation is the "rise and fall" or tone changes in how a person speaks. Body language is how a person uses their own body to support (or go against) what they mean. Gestures are hand and body movements that work together with what someone is saying.  One way to learn is to just watch how native English speakers communicate with each other.

    Share your opinions online

    To really learn English speaking, you need to learn how to express yourself in English. Even if you have ideas for conversations, it can be hard to know how to put them into your own words. You can practice this by participating in conversations online.

    Get direct feedback

    To improve your speaking, you can ask directly for feedback. Since you usually can't do this with casual conversations, it might be worth setting up a language exchange, where you can ask the person to tell you directly if any of your sentences sounds awkward or unnatural.  HelloTalk also allows you to chat in English, and then your conversation partner will literally mark out your mistakes.

    A. Sometimes, English is just strange!

    B. There are many options for practicing your writing skills.

    C. Listen carefully when someone asks you a question in English.

    D. It's not easy to learn these three things because they seem very natural.

    E. Posting on social media and leaving comments on articles are good approaches.

    F. Studying English for an hour once a week isn't usually enough to make any real progress.

    G. There are even apps for this, like Go Correct, where you can connect with English teachers.
