This blog discusses the rules of speaking English in a fun and interesting way. Learning English doesn't have to be boring. We are here to prove it! From understanding grammar rules to mastering pronunciation, we'll cover it all in a way that's easy to understand and remember.

Focus on Communication

Don't be afraid to make mistakes. The goal of learning a language is communication. Think about young children learning to communicate. First, we are taught body language, listening, and speaking. Before we learn grammar in school, we learn to talk and share. Think about how we communicate with body language, listening, and speaking. An average child is not concerned about grammar. We start learning to communicate by listening and speaking. We hear and repeat our native language.

Learn to speak clearly. It is not the grammar that makes it difficult to understand someone. It can be the accent, pronunciation, intonation, or volume. This lesson will focus on your speaking. You will be easier to know when speaking clearly, even if you make grammar mistakes. People will not understand perfect grammar when English is not spoken. Good oral communication requires excellent speaking skills.

Focus on good communication. Your English may not be perfect, but the goal is to communicate.

Have fun learning English!

Turn Up the Volume (Speak LOUD !!!)

Surprisingly, the difference between being understood and misunderstood is often the volume. I solve many ESL speaking problems by getting ESL students to speak loudly. When people are nervous or afraid, they often talk with a very soft low voice, typical for all ESL levels, from beginner to advanced.

Many times, people cannot understand because they cannot hear. It is not because of English mistakes or bad grammar. If no one can hear you, no one can understand you. Speak up!

Speaking loudly also helps with pronunciation. English students are often taught to “exercise the tongue and mouth muscles for the clear pronunciation”. This is good. However, if you speak loud, your tongue, jaw, and mouth muscles exercise automatically. If you whisper with a bit of mouth, language, and jaw movement, your pronunciation will not be clear, and others may have problems understanding you. Often, speaking louder will help articulation with more mouth movement.

When people speak loud, they can show confidence. Show people that you are confident in your communication.

K.I.S.S. (Keep It Short and Simple)

Keep It Short and Simple. This allows you to focus on communicating your thoughts. Keeping the grammar simple makes it easier to communicate.

Simple sentences will allow you to think more about your thoughts and less about the grammar, while complex sentences result in more grammar mistakes and confused ideas.

When speaking, it is common for native speakers to use basic grammar because short sentences allow for time to pause and think about your next thought quickly. Doing this will make your English more natural, with fewer problems and mistakes in the middle of sentences. Start using short and simple sentences; your sentences will become longer as you practice.

Short and straightforward sentences also help listeners to understand you. Even with good grammar, your accent and pronunciation can make it difficult to understand. Listeners can focus more on the conversation topic and less on understanding your English. You will have good communication if you have conversations with a clear understanding. Good communication is the objective.

Relax...Focus on Communication

Relax and have fun learning Business English. Being motivated is easier when we have fun and enjoy the activity. Our memory loves exciting events which make remembering easier. Our confidence then grows.

Confidence allows the speaker to be more relaxed and effectively communicate with others. This is so essential in learning and improving language skills. If the speaker is nervous and afraid of making mistakes, the result can be poor communication.

“62% of the students said that confidence affected their speaking performance. 70% of the teachers thought that confidence to perform well affected their students’ speaking performance.” (Asian Journal of Educational Research, 2015)

Students often say, “I cannot speak because I’m afraid I will make mistakes”. Thus, students become shy and afraid to speak because of the fear of making mistakes. The focus of learning English should be on effective communication, not perfect grammar.
