6. Before you start speaking
 Try to plan what you want to say. Make sure you know the most important words
or technical terms that you'll need.
 Practice standard expressions. For example, "Pleased to meet you", or "How are
you?" Getting these expressions right makes you feel more confident to continue
the conversation.
 As well as concentrating on what you want to say, also concentrate on listening to
the other person. Give your full attention, and make sure you understand by using
clarifying expressions such as "Sorry, do you mean…" or "I'm sorry, but I don't
understand. Can you repeat that please?" Don't forget: being a good speaker also
means being a good listener. People will want to have conversations with you if
they know you're interested in what they say!
