Learning to speak English is like learning to play golf. If you watch a video about golf and read books about golf, will you be able to play golf? No… you need to actually practice playing the game, hitting the ball, swinging the club and judging distance.
Speaking English is the same thing. You need to practice speaking it, hearing the sounds, saying the sounds and trying different words and sentences. Reading about English and writing in English will not make you a good speaker – you have to practice actually speaking.
If you can’t speak to someone and practice, then the next best thing is to speak aloud so that you can practice pronunciation of words and sounds, increase your fluency and confidence to speak naturally. Listening to audios and videos by native speakers is ideal as you can practice copying what they say. Do this everyday and you will definitely get better!
