Spoken English: How to Speak English Clearly

Can you speak English? Every year, millions of people learn English as their second language in school or at university. However, many English classes focus on written English and grammar instead of teaching students how to speak English clearly.

In this spoken English lesson , we’ll cover five great strategies that you can use to quickly enhance your spoken English. From reading aloud to chatting with friends, learn how to quickly and reliably master the art of communicating in English.

Read books out loud to improve your spoken English

Did your formal English education focus on grammar and reading? If so, you can use these skills to improve your spoken English by reading books out loud, either with a friend or by yourself.

Reading out loud forces you to put your pronunciation to the test, especially if your written English skills are advanced enough to read novels and newspapers. Read an article or chapter every day and you’ll quickly add new words to your vocabulary.

When you run into a word that you can’t pronounce, look it up with a pronunciation dictionary. Make a list of problematic words – words you struggle to pronounce – to review at the end of every reading session.

A lot of English learners fall behind in their education because they’re too afraid to engage in conversation with native English speakers. Reading aloud lets you work on your pronunciation and vocabulary while avoiding any fear or nervousness.
