Here is the answer: A good listener is a good speaker!
If you really want to speak, you should first listen. Listen to what?
Okay! Listen to LIVE ENGLISH. Listen to the radio. Not any radio station of course!
Listen to Standard English only. Listen to the VOA, for instance. How long? Just five minutes. Listen and record the voice. Then turn off the radio and listen to the recording several times. Each time you listen, pay attention to only one element. For example , the first time you listen, just pay attention to the NOUNS, the second time, pay attention to NUMBERS, the third to, listen to adjective, and so on. The last time, try to understand what the speaker is saying. A general understanding is okay. Don’t worry about the details. In other words don’t try to understand all the spoken words. You know why? Because if you try to understand everything, you’ll understand almost nothing!
Continue this activity every day or every night for at least 2 months. Every night, it will take about 30 minutes of your time, but the result will be great.
