Second is listening, once you have started a conversation with a native speaker, pay
attention to their pronunciation. Listen to the order of the words they use when
responding. Collect as many useful phrases from each conversation as you can.
Third is thingking, once you have surrounded yourself with English resources and
are using them on a daily basis, you must try to stop thingking in your native tongue.
In the early stages of learning English, people think of what they want to say in their
first language, translate the thought into English and then speak.

our speaking skill. We also have to train ourselves to get used to talk using English

How to Speak English Well

Speaking is one of important part to communicate with the other person. If

we studying English, we have to learn how to speak Englsih well also. Many people
think that speaking material is so difficult after grammar. But, for some people think
speaking material is very important in English. Especially for English students or
for someone which will be English teacher, or for everyone that will be speak with
native speaker. There are something what should we learn to speak English well.

The reason why speaking is important because it is become our habit in daily
activity. Every time we will speaking with everypeople which we meet. Beside that,
in English learning process speaking become the main thing that should be
mastered. We not need grammatical to speak, we just speak and speak. Our
interlocutor will not focus on grammatical but they just focus on pronounciation to
undertand it. Important factor that must be considered is how to make ourselves
confident to speak English as foreign languages. It can we do with make our sounds
louder. We should be careful with pronounciation also. the most important is we
should memorize vocabularies, because if we not memorize vocabularies it means
that we will can not say nothing.

The ways to speak English well can we do with watching English movie.
Usually there are subtitle on the movie. we can watch while look at subtitle, when
we find the difficult vocabulary so we can look for the meaning in dictionary or
online dictionary. English music also can help us to improve our speaking skill.
Listening is easier ways to remember, the more often we listen so the more
vocabulary we accidentally memorize.

The conclusion they are to speak English well we should learned some ways
that were mentioned above. Not just that, we should remember that to improve
speaking skill we should be practice also. A lot of practice will make us accustomed
to speak English and practicing our confidence in speaking.
