4 Tips for Improving your Conversation English
Conversation English skills cannot be developed overnight and require great dexterity and dedication. Even when one knows the basics of English language and the grammar rules, it is totally different when it comes to conversing in English.
For non-native English speakers, improving conversation English requires a great deal of practice and patience. It is important to be smart and logical on what you focus on. Here are 4 simple rules can help expedite the process and make it more effective.
Do not focus overly on perfect grammar
Mastering grammar rules helps in having a command over writing in English. However, for conversational English, focusing too much on grammar too early in the process is counter-productive. Thinking about the perfect grammar will slow down the speaker and mar their confidence. Also, it will make you think in your first language and translate. English grammar is all about rules – of what to do and what not to do. Just like when you start learning Salsa or golf, don’t over think the rules. Start having conversations in English and with time, perfection in grammar could be achieved overtime.
Maximize English inputs
Exposing yourself to English as much as possible is always helpful. Watching English movies and listening to audio books will aid in improving pronunciation as well as vocabulary. Also, reading English books, magazines, and observing and imitating mouth movements of native English speakers will help in developing a neutral English accent.
Get in to the habit of continuous improvement
There are tons of small improvements you can make every day when it comes to improving your English conversationa skills. Boost your confidence by reading aloud and recording your voice. Close observation of this recording will reveal the areas one needs to work upon. Reading in front of the mirror will also help in making the correct gestures, movements of the mouth and other nuances associated with spot-on conversational English. But whatever you decide to do, don’t over think it.
Have real life conversations with native English speakers
There are certain disciplines that can be mastered through a deep understanding of theory. A good example is history or law. Conversation English is not such a skill. Like riding a bike or cooking, one can become better at speaking English by practicing. The best form of practice is with native English speakers, and that is what Spoken English Practice focuses on.
Becoming skilled in conversational English is not a mountaineering task. With devotion, passion and practice, anyone can speak fluent English.

Great tips. I wish I knew about some of these earlier
Totally agree with the tips. Wish there was more chances to talk with native speakers
Do you offer kids classes? My son is 4 years old and I would like to get him to speak with native speakers. I think that would help him improve his English faster
You should start a program for children.
There is no such thing as perfect grammar in Spoken English.
congratulations all for the excellent text – very good
As a matter of fact, this is what I’ve been teaching for at least 10 years
now because it makes sense. If you’re a photographer
who still does not have a compelling on the web presence and is
still insisting on charging the ridiculous rates for digital negatives away from fear
that your particular customers may take them someplace else to get them imprinted, just how long do you would imagine you will last.
That the authors are just inventing something that sounded great.
