Speak English Fast - Tips



In today's busy world we all have full agendas: working, cleaning, doing errands, taking care of children, meeting with friends, visiting family and the list goes on. How are you supposed to learn English with all those mundane activities? Keep reading to discover how to learn English fast and easily.
First thing first: before taking a glass of coffee in the morning you should find three words that you don’t know in English by using a dictionary or internet. Learning three new words a day will get you to 21 new words a week. Don’t worry if you are not sure yet of how to use each words correctly, at least try to expose yourself to new vocabulary each day.

Second, watch movies or listen to music in English (audio books or podcasts are also good options). You can do this while cleaning the house or going to work. At first you might not be able to understand everything but you will be exposed to more English and little by little you will eventually develop good ears of English.
My last tip may be a little weird but please bear with me, think in English, and if no one is around, speak aloud in English. It may seem silly at first, but trust me; it is a great way to make use of your time. I know that at first it can be an impossible task since your thought will automatically turn back to your mother tongue but with time and practice you'll get over it and soon you'll be thinking in English faster than you think. You can do this while doing other mundane things like going to work, going shopping, picking up the kids and no one knows that you are actually learning English because it all occurs in you head. But please do be careful, keep your eyes open so you won't bump into a tree or a light pole.
One more thing, if you don’t know a word, look it up and write it. I can not stress this enough. It is a good way of learning new vocabulary.
