How to Create an English-speaking Environment?

Speaking English is different from writing English, because while we are writing, we have time to think whether a word is appropriate, if the tenses are correct and so on. While speaking English, we don’t. We need to be able to use the correct tenses and choose the correct words and phrases unconsciously.

Nobody is able to speak English well without tremendous amount of practice. But the fact is that many people are not so luck that they have an English-speaking environment.

That is why I came out with this topic today.

I think one of the solutions to this problem is to try to talk English to ourselves.

This is quite a good method, because with this method you can practice spoken English at any time. If you do practice your spoken English very often, you won’t be so nervous while you really speak English to other people.

If you are afraid that other people will think that you are crazy. You can actually see a book to pretend that you are reading, instead of speaking to yourselves while you are practicing this method.

I am actually quite a fan of this method. Therefore, I think I am able to share more tips about this with you.

I think that every one of us needs some inner talks especially when we are angry or sad. Don’t you think that it is a great opportunity to practice this method?

You can also talk to the stars before sleeping. It is romantic. Right?

Sometimes, you can also make it amusing by talking something special. For example, you can imagine that you are being awarded by a Nobel Prize and making an English speech. You are talking with some one you love, or imagine that you are scolding your enemies. Try to be creative; you will find it interesting.

For maximum affect, you can make it like a real chat while you are alone. While you imagine that you are giving a speech. You can imagine that there are lots of audiences. You are so happy about getting the award. Then, you make your speech passionately and show your happiness with the help of your facial expressions, your hands, pitches and even movements.

This is what I want to present to you today. I hope it helps.
