Practicing English conversation

EnlightenedSoul · Jan 30, 2014

Hi all,
As of my English knowledge, I am not that much good in conversations, with grammatical errors, and mostly searching for apt English words to put up of what I think.
when English people speak, I can't cope up with their speed, so missing to grasp their words, because of speed & pronunciation difference. So, I end up with only very little under standing of what they speak. So, I struggle to reply back too.
finally, I end up with nervousness, and feeling very low.

i want to communicate and talk more, so I can improve my English.

I don't have even friends here to speak with.

So, what can I do to practice English conversation? Any suggestions from you are most welcome!

Hi englishtenedsoul... First of all don't feel down.. ur english is really nice yaar..
I too having this same problem ..i was avoided so many people b'cause of communication problem and i was feeling very down.. finally i decided, that english is just a language not necessary everyone should know..

To develop English conversation watch movies with English subtitles and read English conversation stories.. this really help.. try this way..

i hope this could help.. All the best...

As ammubabu suggested, Do not feel down be cause of this. English is just another language. We sometimes make mistake in our mother tongue as well. So this is not a big deal. Search for 'Toast master' club in your place. That should help you. Also Read and listen.
Good luck

Try to conceive an idea first in your mind in your mother tongue.

Then, write the same in about ten sentences in a paper in English.

Then, Without looking at the paper, speak those sentences alone and record the same with either your mobile phone's recorder or computer's recorder.

Replay it, listen to it, show to someone close to you, with good English knowledge. Ask him /her to correct the mistakes.

We learn from mistakes. yes, every one here learnt from mistakes.

This is a continuous process. Start it , you will find it easy.
