You will find many of people who are trying to learn English language in a country which is not an English speaking country
THE IMPORTANCE OF SPEAKINGPRACTICE:-
There are four key skills when you learn a language:
1- LISTENING
2- SPEAKING
3- RRADING
4- WRITING
Which one of these is the "Odd-One-Out"? Which one of these is different from the other three? The answer is SPEAKING. The other three you can do alone, on your own, without any one else, for instance: you can listen to the radio alone, you can read a book alone, you can write a letter alone, but you can't really speak alone! Speaking to yourself can be "dangerous" because men in white coats may come and take you away! That is why you should make every possible to find somebody speak with.
WHERE CAN YOU FIND PEOPLE TO SPEAK ENGLISH WITH?
At school:-
If you go to a language school, you should use the opportunity to speak with the teachers and your students. When you go home, you can still practice listening, reading and writing, but probably cannot practice speaking.
Friendships with native speakers:-
Try to find people speaking English as first or second language.
LANGUAGE IS ALL AROUND YOU:-
Everywhere you go, you find language: shops' names, street names, and advertisements. When you walk down the street, practice reading the words and numbers you can see. It will help you to "think" in English.
SONGS AND VIDEO:-
Listen to the words of English-language songs that you like. Then repeat them to yourself and try to sing with the music. Repeat the words as many times as possible until they become automatic.
SHOPPING:-
Speaking to the local people such as shop assistants or taxi drivers, even if you don't want to buy any thing, you can ask questions about products that interest you in a shop.
