Why your Spoken English is not improving

Introduction 

Have you ever faced a situation where you got embarrassed for your bad English? 

In that situation, you might have lost faith and confidence, and you felt insecure about yourself.

To prove to everybody that you can speak English too, you studied hard for months or years. You tried every method to improve your Spoken English, but none of them worked out for you.

What is the main problem? 

Why you or most people are not able to improve their English communication skills? 

Let's delve into the reasons which are probably holding you back from improving your English.

 

Reason 1

The most obvious or fundamental reason is your lack of motivation. If you really wanted to improve it, then you wouldn't be giving excuses and blaming your education system for your mistakes.

Just know the importance of learning and speaking English and must have an emotional reason or motivation, pushing you to learn this language consistently.

 

Reason 2

The next thing which is holding you back is your confidence. Yes, you are reading and listening to English content, but still, you don't feel confident about your English because you want to become perfect in fluency,  vocabulary, and pronunciation.

Would you please stop learning everything about English foolishly? You don't have to do a Ph.D. in English. You need to speak and communicate your thoughts and ideas clearly.

Just open your mouth and say something. The more you speak, the more you build confidence, and definitely, it takes time to become fluent but speak.

 

Reason 3

If you want to speak English quickly, then you need to get rid of your native language.

Why?

Because people are mostly relying on their native language to communicate their thoughts or emotions, and you think in your native language.

You consume your entertainment, listen to your favorite songs, watch videos. All are in your native language.

To create an environment where you need to speak in English.

 

Participate in English speech competitions or debates. Consume all of your entertainment and educational videos in English.

You need to deliberately put yourself in a situation where you can't escape from English.

Just make it your next friend after your native language.

 

Reason 4

Another reason most modern English trainers talk about is focusing too much on grammar and not on fluency. 

Grammar is important for any language, but tell me honestly how good your grammar is in your native language.

Maybe you can speak your language without any grammatical mistakes, but you don't know much about grammar, and most of the time, you speak informally and use slang. 

 

Even if you know about the grammar of your language but you didn't learn it actively or studied everything by reading big fat books.

You learned everything by speaking and writing throughout your life, and it will go on.

Same thing you have to do with English. 

 

Reason 5

The last thing you must know about your mistakes while learning English is, you don't practice or imitate whatever you have learned.
Would you please practice and repeat daily?
If you want to speak, then speaking will help you.
And for that need fundamentals that you can learn, but don't rely too much on it and be a practitioner, not a theorist.
