Do you know a lot of English words but still feel nervous when it’s time to speak?You are not alone. Many learners spend years studying grammar and vocabulary, but when they face a real conversation, their mind goes blank.
The truth is: speaking English confidently is not about being “perfect” — it’s about knowing how to start and keep the conversation going.
Here are 5 real steps you can start using today.
Step 1: Learn short, useful phrases
Memorizing long sentences is hard. Instead, learn short, ready-to-use phrases.
Examples:
“That’s a good question.”
“Let me think…”
These give you time to prepare your next sentence.
Step 2: Practice speaking every day — even for 5 minutes
It’s better to practice a little every day than to study for hours once a week. Read aloud, talk to yourself in English, or repeat lines from your favorite shows.
Step 3: Shadow real conversations
Listen to a short clip of native speakers and repeat right after them. This trains your brain to respond quickly and naturally.
Step 4: Focus on connection, not perfection
When you speak, your goal is to connect with the other person — not to be perfect. Mistakes are a normal part of learning.
Step 5: Have a “rescue question” ready
If you forget a word or need time to think, ask a question back.
Example: Friend: “What did you do last weekend?” You: “I stayed home. How about you?”
