We tend to be nervous because we fear to make a mistake. But, it's normal and totally okay.  So, I want to share some tips to be confident in speaking English. Well, you can practice it in your daily life and all the best to you!!! Fighting!

• Fake it till you make it

          Means that you need to pretend to be good at something and pretend to be confident. So, people will  have positive thought about you.

• Don't be afraid to make mistakes

         Yes, mistakes are good! Making mistakes is very important because you can see which areas you need to work on.  The key is to try not to make the same mistake twice. Don't let fear of saying something wrong stop you from speaking at all. Even you think you're making mistake, just continue speaking .

• Repeating television or radio lines or song

          Repeating television or radio lines or songs.Turn on your favorite English station and try to mimic what you hear.  This will help you with proper pronunciation, grammar, understanding various phrases, and to practice the speed of everyday speech.

• Reading out loud

           By reading out loud, you will develop fluency, which is the art of speaking smoothly and having the words, phrases and sentences flow. It’s okay to stumble on a few words or have to look a word or two up in the dictionary. Hey, you can even skip a few words. Just continue to read.

• Get a conversation partner

         Before you speak in front of a large group, find a conversation partner with whom you can practice. You can even do this on Skype. Go ahead and tell the person that you are nervous and that your goal is to become more confident. Once you admit it, the hold that fear has on you may weaken.

• Practice, practice and practice

          You can practice speaking in front of the mirror and rehearse out loud with all the materials that you had prepared. The more you practice, the more natural and well-spoken you will sound when it's time to speak. And the better you feel like you know what to say, the more confidence you'll have when it counts.

• Be prepare

          Before you give some speech or something, you need to prepare the task given. If you know a lot about something, it will help you to be more confident when you have to speak about it. 

• A special technique

         Finding a technique that works for you can also help you feel comfortable when speaking aloud. You may find that simple breathing exercises can quickly make you seem calmer.

• Self-talk

        Positive thinking can replace negative thoughts in your mind and lead to a better self-image. You must get in the habit of praising yourself for a job well done, for trying something new or for any other behavior that you would like to encourage.

• Never give up

          If you want to work on never giving up, then you have to have the mentality that there will always be more ways to succeed in the future. Stay optimistic and being positive makes you see all of the good things in your life. Keep learning so that you'll be able to achieve success.
