How to Practice Your English Speaking

If you don't live in an English-speaking country, and you don't have friends or family to
speak English with, where can you practice your English speaking skills?

It's easier to have a conversation if you have a reason to speak – something to talk about.
These ideas all give you a reason to speak with another person.

1. Start a film or book club
Invite people to discuss a film that you all watch together, or a book that you are all
reading. Prepare questions before, to help people talk about specific aspects.
2. Volunteer to help other people
Does your town or company often welcome foreign guests? Can you offer to translate
for them? Or perhaps you can offer to help children or students with their English
homework.
3. Take part in a film conversation
Watch a film on DVD, and decide in which part you can speak with the film
character. Listen to what the character says (and the reply) then rewind, and either
mute or pause the DVD after the film character speaks. Take the other character's role,
and reply to the first character. You can also find film scripts on the „imsdb‟ site. Print
it out, then practice taking a role in the film.
4. Use Skype
Chat with other people in the pen-pal via Skype. You can get to know them first by
writing to them, then invite them for a conversation.
5. Take English lessons
This is the most expensive option, but paying for private or group lessons is a good
way to regularly practice your English. If you have a job, maybe your company can
also arrange lessons for you.
