Tips to Develop English Speaking and Communication Skills

Learning English effectively requires thinking in English; the more time you spend on thinking in English the more effective will be the understanding. Generally individuals have the tendency to mug up things easily but there is always lack of understanding behind this process. Learning a language is not similar to studying for an exam where you can just learn the answers without understanding and write them on the examination sheet. Learning a language requires great understanding, practice and most importantly the art of thinking in the particular language.


Thinking is the process of creating doubts or questions for you that helps to understand the language more effectively.

Example: When you start thinking in English and try to apply it in your daily routine you get questions while you think right from the time you get up from the bed to the time you go to sleep again. When you think about the daily routine you would get question like what would you say when you have to get up from the bed and call someone for a glass of water? Or how would you call a person and tell him that you are unwell and would like to take an off from work today. Many such instances themselves make you learn the language more effectively.

Every new process new in the beginning seems to come with new procedures and explanation which becomes efficient with practice. For example- In the beginning when a kid starts to use a watch, he at first is not so efficient in watching the time correctly but after a few attempts when he starts thinking and gets use to the whole process of the Minute, Second and the Hour hand he initially starts telling the time very slowly maybe by counting it on the fingers and proper analysis but with time and thinking he understands it effectively and in a few days the mind gets used to and understands quickly.

The same instance can be compared with thinking in English initially an individual might be very slow t thinking and translating the language into English and then responding but with practice he gets a fair idea of the flow of English language. Grammar becomes a rhythm for him and his words and sentences start to be more clear and precise.

There are different types of activities to learn English efficiently but thinking is the best as it strengthens the foundation of the language with our most commonly used words and makes an individual an effective speaker.
