2022-05-12 16:00:07 ​ How to be confident when you are speaking?


Confidence in speaking- calm and focused speech without the fear of sudden stops or hesitations. Being able to look straight at people's eyes and speaking smoothly without losing the ideas.

How to practice confidence - the main reason why people are not confident enough to speak is because they haven't spoken in front of people a lot. That means the more you speak with people and look in them in the eye, the chances are you will highly likely get better and better.

Find a partner in your study center and work with her/him on a regular basis. With this person you don't necessarily have to speak or discuss IELTS questions but speak about anything and everything. Joke, laugh and simply live in English.( personally did it and benefited big time)

Ask your parents to spare some time for you so that you will practice speaking looking in people's eyes.

Start video taping yourself and see what aspects of your speaking should be fixed and improved. It can be the use of hand gestures or facial expressions or pronunciation of some certain words.

Prepare speech and present it to your family and classmates. Do extensive research before giving the talk!

Watch some toast masters or ted speakers and imitate them. Watch them here

Talk in front a mirror and visualize people. Be as creative and emotional as possible. Simply don't be a robot!


~Confidence is just like a muscle the more you practice it, the more it grows and gets better and stronger

I encourage you to follow me on instagram. A lot of people recommend me start on instagram as well. I was putting that off because of the lack of knowledge to manage and run the account, but nobody is perfect from the start so I will learn in the process. Once we reach 1k there I will post some useful stuff there as well.

2022-05-10 18:00:04 Study plan

Level: A2 or B1

Listening:
1. BBC learning English- understandable for those who just began their language learning journey
2. HIMYM(American)/Extra English(British)
*While watching the show or listening to the podcast write down the new words and always deeply focus on when you are watching/listening!

Reading:
1. Read an article every day and learn the new words/structures and revise them constantly
2. Choose a book out of your interest and read it every day but doesn’t mean 50 pages on a daily basis; thus pay attention to quality not quantity and just be consistent

Writing:
1. Start keeping a journal today because it helps you gather your messy thoughts into one place
2. Write about pretty much everything at first just to make a habit of writing
3. Write the important points/parts of the book you are reading and describe them as much as you can

Speaking :
1. Shadow(learn how to do it on YT)
2. Record yourself and talk about anything you want
3. Talk to yourself more and with your friends

P.s. Try to do these activities for 30 days at least. Everything takes time to be improved, let alone language. Just be patient
