How to speak English with confidence

want to speak real english from your

first lesson

at englishclass101.com

want to speak your target language with

confidence and impress native speakers

when learning to speak a new language

you have lots of things to think about

including grammar vocabulary and

pronunciation

because you’re thinking of all of these

things and trying to speak

it can be difficult to communicate with

confidence especially in the beginning

this is why it’s helpful to make

confidence building exercises part of

your language learning process

in this video you’ll learn seven ways to

boost your confidence

one read out loud this might seem pretty

basic but it’s a great way to practice

speaking reading aloud lets you practice

speaking without having to think about

grammar or things to talk about

reading out loud lets you focus on your

pronunciation and the rhythm of the

language

it can help you learn to speak more

smoothly and quickly without even

thinking about it

if you’re using our lessons read the

dialogue out loud as you listen

you can read along with the dialogue

tool the lesson notes or the transcript

two read like a child

this might sound strange but think about

children learning to read

they go slow and sound everything out

maybe it takes two or three tries before

they read a new word smoothly

and a few more tries before they can

read it at a natural pace

this example applies to language

learning too if you find a complex

sentence in something you’re reading

read it slowly at first then speed up

with practice you’ll be able to say it

easily

it might feel a bit silly to speak very

slowly but this kind of practice can

help you identify tough sounds you might

miss

or say incorrectly when reading quickly

three use the dialog breakdown tool

if you’re using our site this is a great

tool to take advantage of

it breaks down lesson conversations into

individual lines

you can listen to the audio for each

line learn what each line means

and can re-read and review as much as

you want

four use the voice recorder to record

and compare yourself with native

speakers

just click on the microphone icon next

to each line in the dialog

section you can use this tool to perfect

your pronunciation if you like

but this is also something you can use

to work on speaking with confidence at

native level speed

you’ll find this tool in the dialog

section of all of our lessons

five repeat and review old lesson

conversations

reviewing what you’ve studied in the

past is the best way to make sure you

maintain what you’ve learned

go back to older lessons download the

lesson dialogue tracks and re-listen to

the conversations again and again

or you can re-read the dialogue lines

from previous lessons until you’ve

mastered them all

shadow conversations repeat what you

hear out loud

this tactic is important but it can be

tricky when you’re doing a brand new

lesson

if you’re reviewing dialogues from

lessons you’ve done know it’s super easy

to do

just listen to the dialogue and repeat

what you hear

shadowing means mimicking the speaker as

soon as they speak

following their intonation and rhythms

as closely as possible

seven send recordings to your premium

how to improve

from the tips your teacher gives you
