Read the English newspaper everyday. If you meet friends who speak good English, talk with them and ask them to correct you everytime you make a mistake. Speaking English is easy but speaking good grammatical English is difficult.So it depends how good you want youir English to be. Some talk just good enough to be understood but some can speak really good English. Nowadays broken English is spoken widely because not everyone can speak perfect anf flawless English. You should read  more English story books because doing so is the best way to polish your English, be it spoken or written.Get a good English dictionary so that you can find the meaning of words you dont know the meaning of. Good luck to you in mastering the English Language.

U have studied in a vernacular school and U have difficulty in communicating in English... Please do not get scared. Be bold and tell yourself that U can be the best.... That should be the mindset.... U know little English.. good. Read the editorial column of a good english daily and read it loud in front of a mirror. If U have a tape recorder, record the same and then hear the tape after that, See if what U have spoken is OK. Show that tape to ur friends or teacher who is good in English and take their advice on ur shortcomings if any. 2) Form a group and discuss subjects in English giving ur ear to what others say. Avoid speaking to ur friends in ur regional language... this will improve ur English langauge. 3) when reading the newspaper U may find words U dont understand... take the oxford dictionary and view the word which will tell u the meaning as well as how 2 pronounce the word..... and step by step U will be in a position to get over the fear of not being able to communicate with others around U. ... Dont get mad if anybody laughs at U during this period of learning..... because these are stepping stones to success. Last but not least please join some Public Speaking School.. like the ones conducted by The Indo American Sociey... God Bless & Good Luck 2 U.

Talk to English-speaking people about a variety of subjects, watch dialogue-driven films in English, and ideally you should spend time in English-speaking countries.\n\nI'm so glad you want to improve your English; too many people who live here don't even try! Good for you!

Here are some tips which may help you to master the English Language!\n\nSpeak without Fear \n\nThe biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they don’t talk at all. Don’t do this. The fastest way to learn anything is to do it – again and again until you get it right. Like anything, learning English requires practice. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want. \n\nUse all of your Resources \n\nEven if you study English at a language school it doesn’t mean you can’t learn outside of class. Using as many different sources, methods and tools as possible, will allow you to learn faster. There are many different ways you can improve your English, so don’t limit yourself to only one or two. The internet is a fantastic resource for virtually anything, but for the language learner it's perfect. \n\nSurround Yourself with English \n\nThe absolute best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English language radio broadcasts, watch English news, movies and television. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English material that you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely it is that you will begin “thinking in English.” . \n\nListen to Native Speakers as Much as Possible \n\nThere are some good English teachers that have had to learn English as a second language before they could teach it. However, there are several reasons why many of the best schools prefer to hire native English speakers. One of the reasons is that native speakers have a natural flow to their speech that students of English should try to imitate. The closer ESL / EFL students can get to this rhythm or flow, the more convincing and comfortable they will become. \n\nWatch English Films and Television \n\nThis is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective. By watching English films (especially those with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors. If you listen to the news you can also hear different accents. \n\nListen to English Music \n\nMusic can be a very effective method of learning English. In fact, it is often used as a way of improving comprehension. The best way to learn though, is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings. There are several good internet sites where one can find the words for most songs. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time. And if you like to sing, fine. \n\nStudy As Often As Possible!\n\nOnly by studying things like grammar and vocabulary and doing exercises, can you really improve your knowledge of any language. \n\nDo Exercises and Take Tests\n\nMany people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun. However, by completing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. One of the best reasons for doing lots of exercises and tests is that they give you a benchmark to compare your future results with. Often, it is by comparing your score on a test you took yesterday with one you took a month or six months ago that you realize just how much you have learned. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are progressing. Start now by doing some of the many exercises and tests on this site, and return in a few days to see what you've learned. Keep doing this and you really will make some progress with English. \n\nRecord Yourself \n\nNobody likes to hear their own voice on tape but like tests, it is good to compare your tapes from time to time. You may be so impressed with the progress you are making that you may not mind the sound of your voice as much. \n\nListen to English \n\nBy this, we mean, speak on the phone or listen to radio broadcasts, audiobooks or CDs i

i know this one...   (being you as much as it takes)\n  first you have to speak loud enough and as loud as you need to be heard, dont over do it though\n  second you need to shorten the sentences you speak as little as possible (short sentences) because any human tend to lose people when one says alot enough before they can answer back to them.\n  third which matters to only a few, is the speed of words said accurately with minimal slurs in your speech\n  does this help? WOULD U GIVE THIS A BEST ANSWER?

The local library is your resource. There are many conversation groups that meet at local libraries, books and tapes to help you improve your vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation, and free ESL classes. You might also check with local churches and your local school district to see if they offer free classes for adults.\n\nHang in there and keep practicing. It takes 2-7 years to gain fluency in a new language, and English is one of the hardest.\n\nGood luck,\n~Tia~

Where are you from? If you are from the philippines (cuz i am), the best way to speak in English is practice.  I used to work in a call center and undergo AmSpeak class (they're more into pronounciation, not much into grammar).  First, read newspaper loudly in the morning when you wake up (do it while sitting and doing your thing in the toilet bowl - it's effective)... you may also practice singing (weird, but true! haven't you imagined that english songs are spoken and pronounced fluently.. by that, you'll be more aware on how some words are pronounced.  You may also watch Smallville, Friends, ER (and some other english TV series) and try to watch on how they speak (and honestly sometimes you won't be able to understand some because they speak too fast)... by these, you'll be more aware how some Americans speak....\n\nSome pointers:\n > practice your "th" words... (say this... THE THRONG OF THERMOMETERS ON THURSDAY)\n\n > In speaking and english sentence, try connecting the words!  But don't overdo it, just let the words glide... in AmSpeak, they call in "TWANG"... twanging of words....\n\n > Some words like INTERNET are pronounced as "INERNET", silent T there!  ENTER is "ENER".... (these are just some)\n\n > If you say "The Apple" we normally say it as "DA APOL", but the right delivery for it was "THEE APPLE"... remember that once the "THE" word was followed by a word starting with a Vowel, the "THE" word was pronounced as "THEE" (it's like the last letter E becames long and like I)\n\n > try to practice in front of the mirror (and smile too - but not too much)\n\n > Try doing research!  Surely theres a lot out there in the internet.  Read books and don't be shy to practice.  Do a facial stretching/exercise, and don't be too hesitant to open your mouth when you speak... \n\nCiao!

I am an Indian too - and so, feel fully qualified to understand your problem, and answer you :\nTo speak and write well [flawlessly], you must first become very familiar with the language : And the best method for that is to read as much as you can, of the CORRECT kind of English...\nThe Readers’ Digest is best for your purpose - with its simple and contemporary [present-day] English, mostly written in a crisp ‘active’ voice. \nKeeping a dictionary nearby, to check any word you do not understand, make it a point to read at least 2 articles every day - and then try repeating from memory [in English, of course !] whatever you had read. \nAlso keep a good book on English Grammar handy - to spot-check and clear any doubts on Grammar. [Wren & Martin’s High School Grammar is possibly the best reference book - but I am told it is currently out of print, and available only in old-book shops !] \nThe more you keep reading [next step : stories and novels by British authors, whose English does not involve too much ‘slang’], the better will your vocabulary [range of words you know to use] become ! \n...At the same time, take steps to improve your pronounciation : \nGet VCDs or DVDs of famous films like ‘My Fair Lady’ which highlight correct English pronounciation. See this film again and again, follow how the actors pronounce words, and try imitating them aloud : You will sound funny to even yourself at first - but [if you only do not give up midway !] after a few weeks, you will find that your accents and pronounciations, have certainly improved.\n....The next step : record your speaking in English, and listen to it yourself. Try to find where all you had gone wrong, and make efforts to correct those mistakes...\n...After about 3-4 months of continuous effort [not before that, please !], both your vocabulary and pronounciation will have become good enough - to give you the confidence to write !\n...Do not think of writing as a ‘composition’ class in a school : Imagine that you are talking to a person sitting in front of you - and simply put down what you would have talked about in writing ! [As you should have adequate knowledge of spellings by now, this will not be too much of a problem !]\nNow, read whatever you have written, aloud - and try to judge what SOUNDS RIGHT, and what does not. Try to find out what was wrong, by yourself, and correct it. Repeat this, until you feel satisfied with what you have written ! \n...Continue this process of reading, speaking, plus writing - while testing out your new talents, upon only your friends and family. Hopefully, there should be at least one person among them, who knows GOOD English - who will support your efforts.\n...Self help, dear friend, is the BEST help : No amount of expensive ‘private tutions’, or ‘conversational courses’ given by so-called experts can help you - as only your will, and efforts can.\nMy Best Wishes to you.

There are 3 ways to improve your English speaking and vocabulary---\n\n1) Have a good idea of basic grammar-including making of small sentences,use of correct tenses,verb forms and prepositions.\n\n2) Start speaking from dayone even if you speak wrong-do not worry or feel shy or hesitant  to what others will say or feel.Think you are learning to speak as a beginer only.\n\n3) Try to read daily English newspapers and magazines to know new words and find their meanings in the dictionary or even you may talk to your elders or teachers to learn more about the meanings of these words so that you understand as to how to use the same while speaking.You may also write what you want to say or speak so that your concept is clear.

Find a native English speaker with whom you can practice. Listen to some spoken books and try to get a variety of accents, paying attention to the cadence of speech. And as liketheshadowofamadsun said previously, IGNORE THIS SITE. The standard of English on the web in general is quite poor.
