verbs and vocabulary, you can start making questions.

Wh/H questions are open questions. They are Where, When, What, Which, Why, Who and How.

Find a friend or a native English speaker and try to ask them these questions. For examples:

– What is your name?

– When is your birthday?

– Where are you going?

– Which color do you like?

– Why do you come here?

– Who do you like the most?

– How do you spell it?

I spoke English very well. (Past)

Finally, you learn the Future Tense which is the same way you understant the Past tense. You should change the Verb in present to future tense by adding “will” before the verbs.

I will speak english very well. (Future)

4. Make full Use of Your Resources

Speak English with native speakers

The fastest way to learn speaking English is to have an English friend to practice what you have studied. Try to immitate the language, the accent and the expressions of the native speaker while you talk with them.

You can also join an English class that have a native teacher. They can help you to correct your pronunciation and the way you speak.

Use the Internet

There are thousands of Video on Youtube. Those lessons are spoken by native speakers. You can follow the channels and start learning English with them for free.

Listen to music, watch TV and read books.

Listening is very important. Although you are learn to speak, you cannot ignore the listen skills. By listening to the podcasts and music or whatever you have, you have to understand what you hear.

Listen to the songs that you know well. Try to understand the meaning and the pronunciation. Your vocabulary will naturally expand.

5. Think in English

Learn vocabulary in phrases, not only the single words (record not only the new words you come across but also a sentence that is meaningful for you – if you can’t think of any use for example Cambridge Advanced Learners Dictionary and copy the samples it gives).

Try to read a passage in newspaper, and try not to translate them into your mother tongue but to understand them directly in English – you might to have to read them several times, so don’t worry!

Try to “talk to yourself” in English from time to time – for example, when it’s very cold think “oh, it’s cold” instead of thinking of the phrase in your mother tongue.

Try an English dictionary (not a bilingual dictionary).
