0- Think in English, not in Hindi
- Most hesitation comes from translating in your mind.
- Start with small things:
- While drinking tea: “I am drinking tea.”
- While walking: “I am going outside.”
- Make it a habit to narrate your day in English (even in your mind).
- Use Short, Simple Sentences
- Don’t try to make long, complex sentences at first.
- Example: Instead of saying “I will definitely try my level best to complete this important project in time,” just say:
“I will try to finish the project on time.” - Simple sentences reduce pressure and increase confidence.
- Practice “Chunks,” Not Grammar Rules
- Native speakers don’t think grammar first; they use ready-made phrases.
- Learn useful chunks:
- “I’d like to…” (I’d like to order tea.)
- “Could you please…” (Could you please help me?)
- “I think…” (I think it’s a good idea.)
- Practicing these chunks makes speaking automatic.
- Daily 2-Minute Speaking Drill
- Pick one topic (your day, your goals, yesterday’s event).
- Speak out loud for 2 minutes without stopping, even if grammar is wrong.
- Example topics:
- “My morning routine”
- “What I learned today”
- “My favorite place”
- The goal is flow, not perfection.
- Record & Replay Yourself
- Use your phone, record 1 minute of English.
- Listen to it, find 1–2 mistakes, and correct them next time.
- This builds confidence and self-awareness.
- Shadow Native Speakers
- Play a short English audio/video.
- Pause and repeat exactly as they say (copy tone and speed).
- This reduces thinking time and trains your tongue to move automatically.
- Accept Mistakes
- Don’t wait for the “perfect” sentence.
- Speak anyway—fluency comes from mistakes, not from silence.
- Remember: Confidence > Grammar in the beginning.
