How to develop your English speaking skills, really fast

The easiest way to develop your speaking skills fast is to speak English from day one, and to continue practising every day. The easiest way to get yourself to speak every day is with a good English course.

A good course will take you step by step, and will help you build your confidence, one sentence at a time.

There are two exercises that will skyrocket your speaking skills. They are:

English speaking exercise #1: line by line recordings.

Being able to play the recordings in your English course line by line will do wonders for you. Play a line and say it out loud, along with the recording. At first, you’ll be unable to keep up with it, but with practice you’ll get better every day.

To make fast progress, the secret is to focus on one line at a time. Instead of racing through all the lines in a text, focus on each one for a few minutes. Say it out loud several times until you’re comfortable with it.

This is one of the exercises I often did to become fluent in English.

Are you looking for an English course where you can play the recordings line by line? Have a look at my English lessons.

English speaking exercise #2: flashcards.

Speaking flashcards give you a set of English words on one side, and you’re asked to build a sentence with them.

When you flip the flashcard, you can see the complete sentence, and you can play it to hear it said by an English native speaker. Throughout your course, the sentences you get on the flashcards slowly become more and more complex.

Speaking English can be a scary experience, that’s why speaking flashcards are so great. By doing exercises that take you step by step you get to develop your conversation skills without pain.

In my English online lessons, there are plenty of exercises with speaking flashcards to help you step by step.

There are seven days in a week and ‘someday’ isn’t one of them.
