【Speaking about Familiar Topics】

1. Take a conversation class. This will help you improve your fluency and pronunciation in English.
2. Develop friendships with people who want to speak English with you. If you can't find a native English speaker, find a friend who wants to practice speaking English and promise to speak only English for a certain period of time.
3. Record yourself speaking in English.
   • Read a simple paragraph and record your voice. Ask a teacher to give you feedback on the recording.
   • Listen to something spoken by a native English speaker. Record yourself repeating the same information, and compare the two.

     Select a question and answer it aloud.
   • Ask a friend to give you topics and record yourself discussing them. Ask someone to listen with you and suggest ways for you to improve.
