How to speak English with confidence?

Confidence is something that a lot of language learners lack. I know because I myself speak some other foreign languages and when I was learning them I really felt timid at times. So, I am here to give you some powerful tips that will help you learn to speak more confidently, more fluently, and I hope that my tips will motivate you a bit more so that you can really learn English with lots of enthusiasm.

1. Make mistakes

Many students would go a long period of time avoiding making certain mistakes, because they are trying to achieve 100% perfection. I want you to make mistakes, learn from them, and move on. Mistakes are crucial.

2. Talk to yourself

It is really important that you talk to yourself in the language that you are learning. This technique serves as a preparation for when you are in some situation in which you will need to use the language. If you are beginner make sure you practice your daily conversations ( how's the weather, what's your hobby, what do you do for living etc. ). If you are a more advanced learner try to talk to yourself about funny stories , things that happened to you that were interesting etc.

3. Pretend you are confident

The best way to gain confidence is actually to pretend you are confident. Body language is the key, pretend that you know what you are talking about. Show that you are not afraid and people will trust you and listen to you.

4. Join online forums that use English language

By joining an online forum you are able to interact with native English speakers. This is also a great opportunity to practice your English outside the classroom without leaving the comfort of your home.

5. Listen to English conversation videos

There are many English conversation videos on YouTube that you can find and listen. This technique will program your mind to listen and speak better.

Try to follow these tips and within a short period of time you will see a huge improvement in your speaking skills.

Have a magical day!
