Hello Disha English for us is a foreign tongue, or to be more precise, the second language. Having said that, there are plethora of resources available in the market but the thing is whether you will be able to finish them or not. The difficulty that we face most often is that our focus is more inclined towards the grammar lessons and that is why even if we learn grammatical structures, we are not able to speak fluently. So, the cure is that try to speak with your friends, watch English movies with subtitles, and then after a couple of months remove the subtitles. While listening to an English song, try to catch up with the lyrics because listening is equally important. Learns it practically rather than bookish learning. I hope this will help you. Thank You read less

Listening is the first stage to start speaking any language. I recommend listening to English country songs, short videos which have a slower pace of speech and better enunciation. Secondly, communicate with friends and peers along with reading short stories
