You generally fumble when you are short of words or short of confidence or short of the subject knowledge you are speaking on. If your vocabulary is weak it does not mean that you can not converse in English. You can still do so provided you are confident enough to speak in that language. In order to build up your confidence levels you can apply the mirror method as suggested by Dr. Sripathy.. Chose any topic on your own and speak on that topic by maintaining an eye contact with your reflection in the mirror. It will immensely help you to build up your confidence and the fear of rejection will automatically vanish after few days of practice. Please remember that " Rome was not built in a day ". Its a continuous process. read less

Dear Ronit, Fumbling is more in your mind ,than mouth. So firstly , feel free to accept it and don't think too much about it , even if you fumble.Its okay. On the other hand, write a few small sentences , and say them in front of the mirror, few times in a day. Repeat the pattern for a few days. Then make the sentences, a little longer, and continue. Speak to yourself ( not in front of the mirror), in animated conversation, as if you are talking to somebody.In public ,start saying 'thank you' ,'sorry' , 'please,.' etc.as much as you can. Don't think about fumbling. Please do the above mentioned techniques, it will be taken care of. Have the confidence, in yourself. read less

Soft skills - English speaking, Business etiquette, Presentation skills, communication - written

When you think of an answer it is usually in ones mother tongue. So first form the sentence in your mind before you speak. This may take a while in the beginning but you will eventually get better. To get your vocabulary right, read books. Start with short articles in the English newspaper.

The reason why most of the people fumble is that they don't find the proper words at proper time. To overcome the fumbling you have to make yourself conversant with the language. Try reading good authors, watching good T.V Series or Hollywood movies, also you can listen to good English songs.

Just take your time to speak. First of all don't panic . English is just a language like your's so first treat it as a language rather than a subject.
