Reading novels improves vocabulary, grammar, and sentence flow, but fluency needs speaking practice. Try reading aloud, thinking in English, and shadowing native speakers. Combine reading with daily conversations for the best results!

Is there any word in your mother tongue which has same pronunciation of an English word but different meaning(Homophone?) "Truth is stranger than fiction". A real incident which took place in Mumbai some 20 years back. An American landed In a foreign bank in Mumbai to do some audit work. He was provided with an attender to do a few menial jobs like opening/closing the door on his entry/exit.The American Officer found the assistant not closing the door whenever ordered to do so as he couldn't understand American accent.The American Officer made a complaint to Bank Manager. The Manager racked his brain and finally found a solution to this problem. He advised American Officer to say "There was a banker" instead of "Close the door". It worked out fine. "There was a banker" phonetically matched with DARWAZA BANDH KARO
There was a cold day which means " Darwaaza khol de"
