1. ALWAYS KEEP AN EAR OUT

What you hear, is what you speak. Listen to how the people in your surrounding communicate in English. One can learn a lot from what they hear, rather that’s how toddlers learn to speak. They pick up what people around them speak and imitate the same.

2. WE ARE WHAT WE HEAR
       
Music is not just a soul soother but a wonderful way to pick up a language. Words, phrases just stick to us even after we stop listening to songs, and we just keep humming them. Start off with famous songs that you might have heard or have heard before. Just that, this time when you hear the songs keep the lyrics in front of you. The idea is not to become a pop star but to speak in the same way the singer sings and to understand the meaning of the song.


3. LOOK AND REPEAT
       
One of the quickest ways to learn English is by watching movies. Start binge watching movies with subtitles. At first, it might be hard to understand the content but keep in mind that the content is not what you are interested in, you just want to see how people pronounce words, and with sub titles, you can never go wrong.


4. FRAME YOUR OWN WORDS

Writing is an essential part of learning a language. The key to having impeccable writing power in English is correct grammar, and grammar requires a lot of practice both in writing and in speaking. Writing makes you acquainted with the parts of the speech, so when you speak, you speak right. Get hold of practice books in English and practice questions on different parts of speech and translation from your native language to English.

5. GET YOUR HANDS ON A DICTIONARY
      
 The biggest problem in learning a language is the problem of understanding. Dictionaries since time immemorial have been making us understand words at length. Now you don’t even need to buy one, you can just download an app or get a Kindle and get an instant explanation to every word you don’t get.

6. TALK EVEN WHEN YOU GO WRONG


Speaking a new tongue makes us so very shy. But if we do not start, we cannot complete.
Open your mouth, let go of your fears of being wrong and speak. Many will laugh at you, mock your accent, but then someone will come and correct you and tell you where you went wrong, and that’s how you learn, from making mistakes.

7. IMITATE ACCENTS

See how people speak English, everyone has a different accent. Pick up the best accents and create your own. Seeing how others speak will help you understand the pronunciations of the words.

8. START YOUR OWN STORY

Start maintaining a journal. Pen down everything that happens on the day at night. In that way, the activities that get repeated every day, will be something you get well versed in, in English. You can also, start writing small stories or summary of small stories and then narrate them further to someone who has good command over the language. This works as a complete learning cycle including reading, writing and speaking.                                                           

9. SEE, BE INSPIRED

Listen to speeches by eminent leaders. That is exactly how you should aim to speak. When leaders speak everyone listens and that is how one should speak to an audience, getting their whole attention.

10. READ ON

Keep reading every day, something or the other. When we read we recite what to read in our minds which not only helps us remember the content but also to practice correct spoken English.
  
Being great at spoken and written English takes a tad bit of time and a whole lot of dedication. If you are really interested in being good in it, you need to give sustained effort into the matter and practice regularly. Even small efforts every day, from a good morning to a stranger to reading the headlines can help.
