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!

Can you share your teething problems while learning English? A 1970's Anecdote goes as follows....... I studied in six various schools across the length and breadth of Tamil Nadu. Medium was Tamil. I couldn't interact with my classmates in English during my Professional College days. Many of them were from reputed English Medium schools. They were using slang words picked up from English Novels. It added insult to injury as my status in normal Spoken English was in a bad shape. Once I met one of such Silver tongued English Speaking classmates while travelling by a day train down to South.Our conversation was bi-lingual,me inevitably sticking to Tamil and he with his gift-of-the-gab English,that too in American accent.The eight hour journey went on hilariously and co-passengers were perplexed but pitied me for my inability to deliver even one word of English.He alighted at one of en route stations where his father had come to collect him. To our surprise his illiterate father started enquiring about his journey etc, in local Tamil and my friend replying in fluent Tamil.
I started off speaking english at a very young age no matter I was speaking right or wrong. People used to stop me while I spoke wrong English. But I saw with time, those errors were gone. Later on I determined...
