Americans in general really won't care if you speak well or not. As you can tell, some American natives don't speak well anyway. :-)  So as long as people understand you, you're alright. In class (college?) no one will really make fun of you. So take solace in the fact that you won't be humiliated.

Keep one thing in mind. English is just a language i.e a way to express you self. Your thoughts and your content is far more important. U have to overcome this fear once for all because if u buckle and give up now, u will need much more courage when you do it next time. Every time you escape it'll get even worse. Life will keep giving u situations when you will have to speak to people and the sooner you start the better it would be. All the nice speakers that u come across were not that good when they started. \n\nAbout ppl making fun - You will always find people who get satisfaction by humiliating other people and they do this on any pretest , be it language, looks, beliefs, dressing sense ---- everything. Its for you to decide whether u want to quit because of stupid people or u want to progress and improve your confidence for your own good\n\nPlease note language and words are important but your confidence , body language and your determination is heard more loudly than your words. So be brave and face it all- u'll see a marked difference in you the second time you do it and slowly u will emerge as a good speaker. Be confident.\nBest of luck!

Proper English is going to be one of your biggest obstacles, so i suggest you join the library and get books that can help you (read and speak + write the language properly), communication is very important, the correct way to structure your sentences so that people can clearly understand what you are saying!!!.\nDon't fall in the trap of speaking this new half baked English that young people seem to be speaking today!!!,that's not English.!!!\nWe either speak the Kings English or Hill billy Americanism.!!!\nAs for joining youth programmes try a book club,etc.!!!\nGood Luck - From a fellow African( South Africa).!!!

There are many ways. You can read english books, magazines, newspapers etc. You can learn phonemes to improve your pronounciaton. There are even many online websites. To find them go to google and type ESL.

if you dont want to be a teacher... then you could take courses and broaden your english skills...i will warn you other languages would have been easier if you had taken them in highschool...but if you take them try not to miss much school they will go through it really fast... take speed reading which will help you study faster... other than that you should try different classes to see what you like... if you would rather write than translate or something like that... these are just some ideas...

U need an enlish speaking environment. Yahoo answers is a good choice, yet u need 2 distinguish between good  & bad english. U can learn good english from newspapers and news channels. Pick up small elements on a daily basis & try 2 apply them on yahoo answers or other interactive facilities.  If u don't have anything, why not create it urself? Form a group with ur friends who aspire 2 learn good english. Within a few months u will b a part of a nice english speaking environment.

Try to talk slowly and clearly, take your time and dont panic if they can't understand UK people can be quite rude to you if you don't speak english clearly but ignore them because they probably don't speak it properly anyway

Hi Vandana. I was also in a marathi medium school. First thing to remember,  never keep inferiority complex in your mind about your medium. Try these things which helped me:\n1) First of all, start reading daily English news paper loudly.\n2) Read English story books you would like to read in Marathi.\n3) Try writing essays in English. If you can't, then first write in Marathi and then translate it in English. You can take guidance from you teacher.\n4) Always watch an English news channel and immediately, watch a Hindi or Marathi one to know the exact meaning of the news and try to know their accent(style of talking English) in English language.\n5) Don't look English language as a different language. Change you view about English.\n6) Try talking to friends about having conversation English.\n7) If you have a friend having same problem as you, encourage her also to learn to talk in English.\n8) And lastly, Spoken English Classes like "Hasure's" will definately help you.\n\nAbout marathi dictionary, I refer "Navneet", "Shree dictionary" And "Chaus dictionary".\n\nKeep asking, it'll help you.\n\nBest of luck !!!

I share your concern. Although some people here are not native English speakers, many appear to be from the U.S. and appear unconcerned about the basic tenets of written communicattion. I wonder if writing in such an informal manner will impact the way they communicate when it's important -- like in school or the workplace. I believe you can only learn to write well by practicing writing well. I think some students are in for a big shock when they get to college or enter the workplace because the ability to express yourself correctly, clearly, and succinctly is a major factor in success.

English is a tricky language. Many words have silent letters so its important to listen to the pronunciation so that you say the word right.

Practice, practice, practice.\n\nYou sound shy. My boyfriend had to learn English too. When we met he barely spoke English, but it didn't stop the attraction. Once we started dating he decided to get to know the language better. He still gets tongue tied around Americans but we understand each other perfectly. (he says 80%). Either way...it just takes practice. So suffer a little now and you will feel better later.\n\nGood luck. It worked for me...and I am so glad that we met.
