Forget about learning a language with books for a few hours a week. Is this possible? May be.
But this is completely unrealistic.

To become fluent, language must become a habit. How can you surround yourself with an English environment?

Listen and read news in English. From RT (Russia Today) to the BBC, many news services make podcasts, programs and post them on their pages. Instead of absorbing Russian-language news, find an alternative in English.

Do the same with movies, music and television. Many online services like Spotify or Netflix offer cheap or even free access to a huge amount of English-language material. Of course, just passively watching or listening is not enough. Read lyrics while you listen to them, translate your favorite songs into English! Watch funny videos on YouTube or other video sources (Vsauce is a very interesting channel). For something a little more intellectual, try NPR (National Public Radio) and the New Yorker podcasts.

2. Stop thinking that fluency can only be achieved by speaking.

The ability to speak fluently won't happen overnight, and it definitely won't happen without knowing basic grammar. Reading increases your vocabulary, teaches you correct word order, sentence structure, and can naturally introduce you to new grammar.

Writing allows you to write your own correct sentences using correct English grammar. Practicing all skills in English is extremely important to achieve fluency.

4. Practice listening to different accents

Try not to just watch/listen to British English or just American English. By becoming familiar with different accents and especially vocabulary and phrases, you can expand your knowledge of the language and its understanding. Netflix has a range of TV shows and films from around the world, or watch international news to get a better understanding of accents.

5. Practice alone. Yeah, talk to yourself

If you don't want to talk to yourself, how will you do it in a group? Speak out loud in English or sing. You can also try saying out loud what you do as you do it. If you are still having trouble doing this, then here are some ideas. For example, when you prepare breakfast, learn the appropriate vocabulary for food and utensils? Try using different verbs to explain your actions. This will be especially useful at work if you are learning English for career advancement.

6. Read aloud

Reading texts out loud is another way to “train” your speech. Reading well-written texts out loud will give you an idea of ​​how your sentences should sound in English. You'll probably improve your vocabulary too!

7. Record native speakers and practice recording yourself too!

If you are not sure how the text sounds when you read it, the best way to correct this is to listen and try to imitate it. After all, it's similar to how children learn to speak. Use the recorder to record TV shows, movies, interviews, etc., and listen to accents, pronunciation and intonation. After listening to the recording, try using the same speaking style yourself. If you compare these records, what is the difference? Of course, there will be differences between native speakers and learners; however, is your intonation and "flow" of speech similar, at what speed do you speak, and is there articulation (clear pronunciation) of the same letters and sounds?

8. Don't forget to practice correct pronunciation!

Each language has its own unique set of sounds. Identify the sounds you have difficulty with and practice them using tongue twisters, lists of minimal pairs, or various web pages dedicated to them (easily found on Google). The best way to achieve success is repetition.

9. Try teaching someone else English

Trying to teach someone else a language will force you to speak it. Even if it's basic words, sentences or phrases. The more you teach someone... the more opportunities you will have to practice. Additionally, organizing knowledge in order to teach someone forces you to find structure and helps you discover gaps in your understanding.

...and finally, very important...

10. Stop translating all the time!

This does more harm than good. Is this sometimes necessary? Yes. But when you get into the habit of “relying on” a translator all the time, you create a serious problem for yourself that will block your skills. Additionally, you slow down the process of mastering and finding comfort in the language.

It is important to understand that language proficiency is the ability to speak clearly, easily and fluently. If you translate everything back-to-back, your speech will be slow and you'll waste too much energy worrying about the mechanics of the language instead of enjoying the conversation.

Another problem is that you won't develop the skills needed to explain what you want to say. Languages ​​also use different word orders and structures, and there are many ways to say the same word. Even British and American English use different words for the same thing, so translation may not always help you find the best words.

With all these tips in mind, remember: relax, don't be nervous, and don't be afraid to make a mistake. Mistakes play an important role in learning, and everyone makes them (even native speakers)!

This article is brought to you by , a site where you can learn English from native teachers and find more great tricks to improve your spoken English (or Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, German, or one of more than 100 languages).

Hello, friends. Many teach English language months or even years, and are faced with the problem: “I know the words, I know the rules, I understand everything, but I can’t say anything!” I recently received this message:

I have a problem with speaking, I seem to have gone through all the grammar, but when I try to communicate with a native speaker, I can only speak in the simplest sentences. It turns out that my level of English is like that of a schoolchild... Even the simplest words fly out of my head. I have no idea how to get out of this...

Tatiana

Let's try to find a way out of the situation. What do you need to do to start speaking English?

You need to relieve stress and responsibility for the result.

Imagine yourself not as an adult who is obliged to speak English after completing a grammar course, but as if you are a child whose task is to speak in such a way that others understand.

If you have watched a small child learn to speak, you have probably noticed that this is a fairly long process. Any child learns to speak the simplest possible phrases, which gradually become more complex. There is no such thing as a child getting up one morning and talking like an adult.

We must use the same principle: first we confidently say a couple of words together, then a couple of sentences, and gradually you learn to express your thoughts quite voluminously. But as a child, you practice all the time and want to say more, better, more correctly. At the same time, you are not at all worried about mistakes, pauses, intonation.

Your goal is to learn to speak “like an adult.” And you will do everything for this! We, adults, demand a lot from ourselves. And if after several weeks or months of study we don’t speak like a native speaker, then we get terribly upset. But remember yourself as a child, when you spoke with mistakes, with blunders, and everyone around you laughed. Remember how you were constantly corrected, forced to repeat the same thing several times. Or how we repeated out loud a hundred times some short poems, counting rhymes and songs. In order to compress the 6-7 years it takes for an ordinary child to speak in a language environment, we need to learn and speak out loud a lot. Every day.

Exercise every day.

Set yourself the task of reading a few pages of English text out loud every day. It is advisable that before this you can listen to how the text is read by a native speaker. Next, learn short texts or dialogues, and then recite them out loud. It is important to speak quickly and keep pauses to a minimum. Therefore, take as much as possible simple texts. Read aloud along with the native speaker. Any phrasebook will do for this purpose. Your task is to read at the same pace as the speaker, with the same intonation and pronunciation.

Record your progress, record your results

Gadgets will help you with this: smartphones, tablets, computers. Keep a video diary, record your speech and what you learned. Write audio or video, review it, but do it “cunningly”. Imagine as if you are not an interested person. Review and record all the points that sound bad. Let's say, long pauses, incorrectly spoken words. Check how a native English speaker speaks and how you do it. Your task is to learn to speak just like him.

Practice every grammar rule until it becomes automatic

Despite the fact that many people who study English know the theoretical part well, they do not always practice it sufficiently in practice and bring it to automatism. To do this, you need to do more than just written English grammar exercises. Train yourself to work orally - make simple sentences for each rule. Open the table of contents of, say, Red Murphy's grammar (Essential Grammar in Use) and go through it, working with a new unit every day. Orally compose 20-30 examples for each rule. Learn to do it quickly.

Just because you speak slowly now does not mean you will always speak slowly. But if you don't learn to work with spoken English, if you don't train this particular skill, then the result will be bad. Those. you will be a theorist who knows the names of the rules and what they mean. You will be good at writing exercises and translating texts. Because that's what you learned.

Guess the riddle: “I’m eating and eating and there’s no trace, I’m cutting and cutting and there’s no blood?” - Probably everyone knows the answer. This is a boat :)

Here's a more complex riddle: “I teach and teach, but I’m still silent” - who is this? Did you guess it? 🙂

It’s annoying, of course, to spend an endless amount of time learning English without being able to connect even two words.

So how can you speak English quickly?

The answer is obvious: only active practice!

Here are 11 tips to help you on how you can train your spoken English skills on your own:

1. Study words not by themselves, but by word combinations and whole phrases.

Come up with vivid examples and say them out loud. Let your examples include crocodiles, unicorns, monsters, elves, robots. In this case, you activate different parts of the brain. Don't be afraid of repetitions, think of them as fitness for your speech apparatus.

2. Regularly, preferably every day, practice your pronunciation, for example, using the service https://www.merriam-webster.com
On this site you will find interesting articles about the nuances of the meanings and use of words in modern English (for example, “bake” and “bake” are 2 completely different words), the correct pronunciation of words and phrases, and various online games.

There is a nice feature of receiving 1 new word per day for free: this way, day after day, you quietly expand your own vocabulary. The resource has been specializing in dictionaries for many years, but the presentation of the material captivates anyone learning English from the first click, and at different levels of learning.

3. Watch interesting videos and try to repeat everything you hear.

These can be short videos, feature films, live streams of a computer game, video blogs. Rehearse, copying the intonations of your favorite bloggers and actors.

It is very important to choose sources only of original origin, where the English language is native, otherwise you risk learning a deliberately incorrect pronunciation.

4. It is useful to watch and listen to video lessons that contain a lot of speaking practice.

To evaluate usefulness, use the 50/50 formula: 50% of the time you listen, 50% of the time you repeat what you heard. You must not be lazy to repeat all the proposed material, without omissions.

Don’t wait until you watch it to the end and then start the exercises; practice speaking directly while watching the video lesson. On our BistroEnglish website you will find a large number of training videos for every taste and color:

5. Talk to yourself and don’t be afraid to be considered crazy :)

For example, when you are trying to learn how to cook your next culinary masterpiece, imagine yourself as a chef and try to tell the recipe in English for your most popular video blog.

Also, during morning exercise, say out loud what you are doing, even rest pauses or count steps in English.

6. Be sure to join an English speaking club.

At first, you may feel shy and confused; after all, not everyone can boast that they can easily come into an unfamiliar environment and talk to new people, and here in English! But it's worth a try!

Video English Course for Beginners

Video English Course for Intermediate Level

Firstly, the atmosphere of English speaking clubs is democratic and sincere; they bring together positive-minded people united by one goal - to practice spoken English.

The vocabulary of a speaking club can be simple - however, you yourself regulate the level at which you would like to communicate. No obligations, just come when you are in the mood and have the time.

Very famous today https://www.meetup.com, where people gather based on their interests and organize live meetings, including for the practice of foreign languages.

7. Retell jokes and stories.

Train your memory and retell something you read a long time ago. Reread and retell again. Did you feel the difference?

This is a very useful habit that, on occasion, will help you brighten up a discussion with an interesting phrase, fact or joke.

8. Try to think in English.

This will require a quiet, quiet environment in which you can concentrate.

It is easiest to find such an atmosphere at home, but you can practice simply on the way to work or school, while walking or traveling in public transport.

For example, describe the weather, your mood, or the appearance of people you met along the way, mentally speaking phrases.

9. Compose several short speeches about yourself and memorize them, adding interesting details and details.

Who I am, what I do, my preferences in food and drinks, unusual hobbies, recent travels - short stories that characterize you from the best sides. When meeting people, for example, in spoken English clubs, such stories will greatly help relieve the first awkwardness.

10. Read out loud.

Choose exciting stories or popular articles, even fairy tales!

You can alternate them to understand different styles and genres. If you correspond in English, reread your phrases out loud, this will help kill two birds with one stone: improve your writing style and more firmly fix the phrases in your memory.

11. Come up with life dialogues and bring to automaticity the phrases that you plan to use in life.

If your imagination refuses to turn on, you can simply find the desired topic and memorize the dialogue. For example, if you are going on a trip, any phrases on the topics will be useful to you: hotels, airports, buses, museums, vacations, cafes, restaurants.

By supplementing your question with gestures, a tourist map and lively facial expressions, you will do just fine without an interpreter abroad.

Don't worry about repeating the same thing over and over again. Believe me, as a result, this will lead you to “automatic speaking” when you communicate in English as if it were your native language.

Practice at home, sometimes even in front of a mirror, practicing new expressions, facial expressions and gestures - in this way, you activate the brain to perceive new material more easily and more firmly, using the features of our memory. Now is the time to learn public speaking if you have never tried this skill before! 🙂

Your reward for persistent work will be the ease with which at the right moment you will successfully make an elegant turn, instead of painfully choosing words and blushing, not daring to start a conversation.
In order to talk, there is no point in looking for some innovative way, you just need to talk, train the skill yourself.

The more regularly and persistently you practice, the more noticeable the progress will be, and soon you will find yourself naturally giving out advice left and right on how to start speaking English.

Theoretical material

English is different from Russian. In English, compared to Russian, sentences are structured differently, articles are added, prepositions are used differently and there are more tenses than in Russian.

Thanks to our course, you will learn the 500 most frequently used words in the English language, be able to express your thoughts and read texts on general topics. The study of words takes place on the "Exercises" tab, and on this page we will talk about English grammar.

Article

(a,an,the)

Article – this is a service word. It is placed before nouns (in English).

There are two articles in English - the indefinite and the definite. The article is not translated into Russian. There are no articles in Russian.

Indefinite article has two forms: a And an
Definite article has one form: the

Prepositions

Pretext – this is a functional part of speech, for example - in, on, under, above, near, etc.

There are three types of prepositions:

1. Prepositions of place- this is when we want to say that something is somewhere (on, in, near, under, behind, above, in front of, between, among);

(in (V),on (on the),at (V), behind (behind), under (under), near (near, near), above (above), between (between), among (among))

2. Prepositions of direction- this is when we want to say that something is moving somewhere (through, through, in, out, with, up, down, along, around);

(across (through),through (through),into (in (inside)), out , of (from), from(With), up (up), down (down), along (into the distance), round (around))

3. Prepositions of time- this is when we want to say that some action once was, is or will occur (before, before, after, during);

Word order in English sentences

In English sentences, unlike Russian ones, there must be a strict word order.

For example, in Russian we can say “I sent a telegram yesterday” or “I sent a telegram yesterday,” but in English this sentence should sound like this: “I sent a telegram yesterday.” Since English sentences have a strict word order.

How to learn to speak English quickly and competently? This question is asked every day by millions of students around the world, for whom encountering a language barrier has become an unpleasant stage in learning a language. However, any obstacle can be overcome, the main thing is to choose the right means to achieve your goals. We have collected for you the simplest and most effective tips that will help you improve your spoken English and achieve fluency in communication.

Speaking skill is the most important skill in learning any foreign language. Some students admit that they easily master grammar, enjoy reading foreign literature and calmly listen to audio recordings. But when it comes to speaking English, they fall into the state of “I understand everything, but I can’t answer anything.” And this often happens not because of a lack of knowledge or a limited vocabulary, but because of a lack of speaking practice and a psychological barrier.

We talked about the psychological reasons for the appearance of a language barrier and 15 effective ways to combat it in. We would like to invite you not to delve into the details of the emergence of the barrier, but to direct all efforts to eliminate it.

Our student Ilya Usanov communicated with foreign partners and investors on his fingers until he began to learn English. .

What's stopping you from speaking English?

Let's look at not psychological, but specifically linguistic reasons that may stand between you and fruitful communication in English.

Insufficient level of language knowledge

The vocabulary of native speakers is 10,000 - 20,000 words. For anyone learning English, 2,000 words are enough for comfortable communication on everyday topics, which corresponds to level . As you can see, everything is not so scary!

To start speaking, you must master a minimum grammatical vocabulary:

• present tense - Present (Simple, Continuous, Perfect);
• past tense - Past Simple;
• future tense: Future Simple and construction be going to;
• modal verbs: have to, must, can, may, might, should;
• indirect speech;
• passive voice.

If your English knowledge is at or level, you need to improve it to Pre-Intermediate. If you have already overcome this bar, then you are ready to communicate in English. Yes, such conversations will not be ideal and easy, but you will definitely be able to express your thoughts in accessible ways.

Nothing to say on the topic

If you feel like you don’t know what to talk about, start by developing your Russian speech. Take any object or phenomenon. Think about what thoughts and emotions you feel towards him. Try to find several subtopics within this broad topic. Then talk about this subject or phenomenon for at least one or two minutes. Exhale. Try the same thing, but in English.

For example, take the topic “Vacation”. It finds its own response in each of us. Some people travel to the same favorite country every year, others appreciate diversity and contrast. Some save for renovations and rarely allow themselves tourist trips, while others cannot live without constant adventures. What can you tell us about the topic of vacation?

Structure of answering oral questions

We analyzed the monologue. What about dialogue? Let's imagine that you are asked a common question. For example:

What is your favorite kind of food? -What is your favorite food?

If panic arises in your head and the gastronomic variety creates complete chaos, take your time. The fate of humanity does not depend on your answer now. Think calmly and only then speak according to an approximate scheme:

1. Introductory sentence:

   It’s difficult to choose because I like many different dishes. - It’s difficult to choose, because I like many dishes.

2. Answer:

   I think pasta with meatballs is my favorite. - I think pasta with meatballs is my favorite dish.

3. Reason/Example:

   My wife cooks it very well. And I also like to order this meal at a restaurant. It is so delicious. - My wife cooks it amazingly. And I also like to order this dish in a restaurant. It's so delicious.

4. Conclusion:

   Well, if I had to choose just one, I would definitely prefer pasta with meatballs. - Well, if I had to choose only one thing, I would choose pasta with meatballs.

By practicing answering questions this way, you can get rid of the “I have nothing to say” problem.

We have looked at the reasons that interfere with conversational speech. Now let's move on to practice. Are you preparing for negotiations, presentations or other work-related communications? Most likely, now you are nodding affirmatively. It’s the same with speaking English: you also need to carefully prepare for it. But not everyone has time for this. If you need to speak English confidently “yesterday”, we have a solution.

Speaking practice

Many of our students complain that since school they have been cramming complex grammar rules and doing long written exercises in English, but have never learned to speak. To fix this situation, we created:

The idea to create the “Conversation Practice” course did not appear by chance. Before starting their studies at our school, potential students communicate with our managers, who clarify their preferences and wishes for the learning process. Many people say that they want to overcome the language barrier, but at the same time they do not want to study with boring textbooks, they want to learn English in a fun and interesting way, but “without homework and boring grammar”! Based on the wishes of students and the principles of teaching a foreign language, we created our course.

If you decide to take this course, you will be able to make new acquaintances and apply the secrets of success (talking about the weather and the latest news), maintaining a conversation on cultural topics (movies, TV series, books). You will learn to talk about everyday problems: if you spill coffee on yourself or get stuck in traffic, you will be able to explain it without any problems.

Together with your teacher, you will role-play typical telephone conversations and interviews with international companies, and prepare for tourist trips and business trips. Abroad, you can easily go shopping, order food in a restaurant, visit a doctor, etc.

The main bonus is no long written assignments. Just you, the teacher and the conversation! !

The more words you know, the more conversational topics are available to you and the more accurately you can express your thoughts. Therefore, if you are carried away by speaking practice, do not forget about replenishing your vocabulary. We wrote about how to do this in the article “”.

2. Making your speech lively and natural

To make your speech beautiful and natural, when learning a new word, look in the dictionary, which lists its synonyms and antonyms, as well as related phrasal verbs and idioms. Our article “” will help you decide on the optimal dictionary. This way you will diversify your speech and increase your vocabulary.

3. Learn phrases

If you ask modern polyglots how to learn to speak English quickly, many of them will answer the same way: “Learn cliché phrases and speech structures.” Expressions such as Let's talk briefly about... (Let's talk briefly about...), I am inclined to believe that... (I am inclined to think that...), I've got an impression that.. (I have the impression that...) will help you start a conversation competently and beautifully.

But what if you didn’t understand well what was said to you? You need to learn to catch the key words in a statement. Pay special attention to nouns and verbs, because they are the main words in any sentence. The rest will become clear from the general context of the statement, intonation, emotions, facial expressions and gestures of the speaker. Practice listening more often and get used to the sound of someone else's speech. In the meantime, you can ask the other person to repeat:

4. Activate vocabulary

Active vocabulary - those words that you use in speech or writing, passive - you recognize in someone else's speech or when reading, but do not use it yourself. The larger your active vocabulary, the more ways you have to express yourself and the easier it is for you to express yourself in English. Work on expanding it: learn new words and introduce them into your speech. In the article "" we told you how to turn a passive stock into an active one.

5. Learning to paraphrase

If you are afraid that during a conversation you may forget a word, then do not worry, because you can learn periphrasis - an indirect, descriptive designation of an object. And in order for you to be able to paraphrase, we will give some tips.

• If you forget a complex word, use a simpler one: a department store - a supermarket (department store).
• Use that, which, who to describe a thing or object:

  It’s a very large shop that sells food and other products for the home. - This is a large store that sells food and other household products.

• Use antonyms and comparisons:

  It is opposite to a neighborhood shop. = It’s not a neighborhood shop. - It is the opposite in meaning to a convenience store.

• Use examples:

  “Sainsbury"s” and “Tesco” are examples of best supermarkets. - Sainsbury"s and Tesco are examples of the best supermarkets.

6. Learn to ask questions

The strategy for any successful conversation is to talk less about yourself and be more interested in the opinions of other people. To do this you need to master . For example, a person tells you that he likes to decorate his apartment.

I like decorating my flat. - I like to decorate my apartment.

Think about what questions you could ask this person?

What materials do you like the most? - What materials do you like best?
Did you learn something about decor? -Have you studied anything in decor?
Could you please show me your best work? - Can you show me your best work?
Would you like to take part in some decorators contest? - Would you like to take part in a decorating competition?

7. We use a special textbook

Aids for the development of oral speech are a good help for every English learner. They give you topics to talk about, interesting ideas and expressions, and new phrases that can be used successfully in any conversation. To choose a suitable textbook for yourself, check out our review “”.

8. Improving pronunciation

Work on your pronunciation: if you mix up sounds or pronounce them unclearly, you are much less likely to be understood. Do you want to speak correctly? Imitate the speech of people who speak clearly and distinctly. You can imitate your English teacher, BBC announcer, favorite actor or English-speaking friend, if you have one. When you learn to pronounce sounds clearly, your fear of being misunderstood will disappear and you will not feel embarrassed by your accent. We wrote even more tips in the article “”.

9. We are engaged in modern listening

English listening doesn't have to be monotonous or intimidating. You can train your listening comprehension of English speech using modern podcasts, audio series and radio shows. Some of them are adapted for learning, others contain useful colloquial phrases from real, live speech from native speakers.

Even if you have little free time to study, you can install apps on your smartphone with podcasts, radio shows and audio dramas. Listen to them on your way to work, during your lunch break, while traveling, while shopping, etc. We recommend listening to the same recording several times. If possible, you can repeat after the announcer. This simple trick will improve your listening skills. You can read more about this in the article "".

10. Watching videos

How to quickly learn to speak English using videos? Watch videos on topics that interest you, listen to how and what native speakers say, and repeat after them. This way you will not only master spoken phrases, but also be able to learn correct articulation by imitating the characters in the video. Many videos for people with different levels of language proficiency can be viewed on the resources: engvid.com, newsinlevels.com, englishcentral.com.

11. Sing songs

12. Read aloud and retell what we read

Reading aloud works similarly to listening to video and audio, only here you read the text yourself and retell what you read. As a result, new words and phrases are remembered. In the article “” we covered in detail the selection of the right books for your level.

13. Record your voice

Choose a general conversation topic, for example, a story about your favorite book. Turn on the voice recorder on your smartphone or laptop and record your voice. After that, turn on the recording and listen to it carefully. Pay attention to when you hesitate, where you pause, how fast your speech is, good pronunciation and correct intonation.

Usually, the first recordings for English learners are not a test for the faint of heart: firstly, we are not used to hearing ourselves from the outside, and secondly, English-language speech at the first stages of learning sounds strange and incomprehensible. We recommend that you do not despair. Imagine that this is not your voice, but some outside student who really wants to learn English. What would you advise him to work on? After a month or two, compare the first and last entries: the difference will be noticeable, and this will inspire you to further exploits in learning English.

14. We talk as often as possible

Do you dream of speaking English in your free time, but your friends are not interested? Try participating in conversation clubs with other English language learners. Such meetings are held both live and online. This is a great opportunity to start speaking and get used to other people's speech. In a relaxed atmosphere, you can chat on various topics, on occasion, introduce interesting words and phrases that you heard somewhere, and just have a good time.

At our school, all students can sign up for free in conversation clubs with both Russian-speaking teachers and native speakers from the UK. Clubs can be selected to suit your level and in accordance with interesting topics: sightseeing, art, friends and loved ones, a sense of humor - the list is inexhaustible. The big advantage is that you will study in small groups of up to 7 people. If you are already studying with us, sign up for the next club meeting; if not yet, now is the time!

The more you communicate in English, the sooner you will achieve fluency. And to make it easy for you to find someone to talk to, we wrote the article “”. From it you will learn how easy it is to find a friend among native speakers.

15. Finding a partner

Have you bought a membership to a fitness club but quit after a couple of months? Have you decided to learn the guitar, but your enthusiasm has faded and you have switched to something new? Perhaps you simply lack motivation and support. You need someone who will support your desire to learn English. Try to find a friend who will go to courses and conversation clubs with you, chat on different topics and motivate you in every possible way to continue learning.

16. We don’t theorize

Practice, practice and only practice of speaking will bring the desired results. Theory alone will not be enough: no matter how much useful advice you read on how to start speaking English, the language will not be given to you until you begin to put all the advice into practice. Yes, you know that yourself. Whatever you undertake, be it driving, cooking or yoga in hammocks, without practice, theoretical manuals will become waste paper.

Today you received a guide to action on how to learn to speak English. We hope you will not only carefully read our tips, but also begin to put them into practice. If you want to start studying at Inglex, but are still thinking about it, be inspired by the experience of our teachers from the article “”.
