When the mind is sophisticated with expressive vocabularies, communications becomes easier. When i was still into teaching, there is one new subject we introduced into my school..., we call it: VDB. Which means: Vocabulary Development Building. |

And just the other day people were supporting being unable to speak English. How communication is key, not the English. Yet they would be offended if bank staff and doctors and engineers decide to communicate in any manner they feel like, since, after all, English isn't their mother language and they are communicating. It's not a sign of intelligence, yet you need IELTS. The kinds of people on this forum though. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Mooh247: English is not the official language of China but it is for Nigeria. So, having a mastery of the language does matter if you’re a Nigerian. |

Better still, my club has an online meeting tomorrow Friday, I can share the link with you so you could attend via zoom and see how it's done, we can afterwards find a club close to your location. Kindly private chat me. Still learning how to use nairaland tho, don't know how private messages are done here. |

Mooh247: Mandarin ( Putonghua) is the official language of China. In Nigeria, English is the official language. Most Chinese expats (not labourers) recruited for overseas jobs in English speaking countries usually take English language immersion classes. |

Hailleys: Go to YouTube ( search for RP English), join local English speaking clubs ( English corners) where people practice speaking English for fun, learn English tenses ( they’re very important), practice making simple and short sentences, talk to yourself as often as possible (do it whenever you’re alone lest people begin to think you’ve gone cuckoo). Good luck! |

Try using a English language app. You can download any on the app store. Also you can book online lessons on Italian with an English teacher. It's really affordable few dollars for an hour. You should read aloud more often. Also try pimsleur app . They have a free 30 day trial. Also use Master vocabulary app to improve your vocabulary. Hailleys: |

Think and meditate in English language rather than your Mother's tongue. Be consistent and thank me later. |

This is how I improved my English speaking skills... Go to pdfdrive dot com, search for effortless English. The author's name is A. J Hoge Download and read the book. Implement his recommendations even if it is two. PLEASE DONT READ GRAMMAR BOOKS TO IMPROVE YOUR FLUENCY. it's complete waste of time. You already know how to write in English. Native speakers don't learn English by reading or writing, they learn by listening and speaking. Just like how you mastered your native language. Pls don't listen to those 'read books' advice. AJ hoge will show you how to speak like a native speaker. I recommend you check his YouTube channel for more tips. |

Keep practicing it. Stand at the mirror and give speeches. Record yourself and watch. Do it all over again. The only way to master anything is to keep practicing. |
