Hello guys!! On my previous entry I wrote a blog about 10 challenges that most of the students including me myself face in acquiring English. Today I going to share with you about 10 tips on how to be confident to speak English. There are some few great ways to give your English confidence a boost so that you will soon find speaking English is more easier than you think.


Next, join online forum that use English. Find forums that have topics you are interested in such as photography, travelling, TV shows, movies, or cooking. The more you are interested in something, the more likely you will be motivated to participate in the forums. Through this step you will get a chance to practice your English and even communicate with people from all around the world.

Then, read the text out loudly. If you are nervous to speak in front of others, star reading out loud by yourself at home. By reading out loudly you will be able to correct your pronunciation mistakes until you makes no error. The more you practice , the more confidence you will have plus it also will help to increase your reading speed an to process words faster.

Besides that, trust your teacher and your lecturer is also one of the tips to boost your English confidence. If you are following a course, remember that your lecturer and teacher are here to help you to learn from your mistake.Your teacher and lecturer are working hard to ensure that you will be able to speak English fluently. They will also make sure that no one will make fun of you and eventually you will have the courage to speak English in front of  others.

Furthermore, work in group of five or smaller. Many of you surely will get nervous if you are to speak in front of the audience. Before you speak English in front of the audience, try to speak English to others in a smaller group to build up your confidence. During the conversation you can share some story with others. The more you talk the less you will feel scare.

Next, participate in the exchange student program. By taking part in this program you will get the chance to boost your confidence in speaking English as you are ought to speak only English throughout the camp. You must also speak out for your opinion in front of hundreds of participants.

Moreover, your attitude and mind set are also important in order to be confident when speaking English.Try to always think positive about your English skills and remember that you can speak English. Don't care about others people's perception toward your English skills.

Then, do more practice and preparation is also one of the ways.For example rehearsing the presentation can help you to be more prepared. The more you practice the smoother the presentation will go and the more easier the audience to understand what are you trying to say.

Next is try to watch English movie without the subtitles. Through watching movie you will be able to know the pronunciation of a particular words and the usage of the words. This will help you to be more confident when speaking English without scared of making mistake or error.

Lastly, by joining online conversation group. For example whatapps, skype, google talk and more. Through this application you will be able to communicate with people all around the world especially the native speaker. You can also ask some question regarding the vocabulary and also grammar.
