Follow this pattern daily for just 10 minutes, and you will definitely see the difference in your speaking skills.

Be a Sincere Listener

Listening is as important as speaking. Listen to news bulletins, English songs, and English Commentary or watch English Movies. Listen to the pronunciation of words and how they speak, and try to catch new words and phrases from them. Try to copy what you heard and practice it.

Communication is More Important Than Grammar

Even if you don’t have a good command of Grammar, do not lose confidence. Speak the language fluently. With the fear of making mistakes, you often stop in between. But this makes you look less confident, and apart from this, influential language makes it difficult for the other person to understand what you want to say. Maybe your sentences will not be grammatically correct, but they will communicate what is needed, and that completes the task. But do not confuse Fluency with fastness. Speaking slowly and fluently. 

Relax and Have a Positive and Confident Attitude
