Practice speaking English with a friend

The best way is to practice with a native speaker of English but you can also find a learner to practice your fluency with especially if you areĀ  intermediate level or higher. Follow this three step approach for great results:

1. Find a friend who is interested in speaking English and is the same level as you

2. Find something interesting to talk about that you can look at and refer to – a movie, an online newspaper, a discussion topic (if you are both Samespeak students you can practice off a lesson from the activities box)

3. Don’t try and correct each other. You are wanting to practice speaking fluently so it is important that you just say what you are thinking and not worry about making mistakes.

4. Listen to your friend and let them know if you understand what they are saying “I see, I understand, please keep talking”…

5. Keep the sessions short and frequent. A 15 minute session each day will give you better results than 1 hour a week.

Let me know how it goes!
