LeksideOLM:Get yourself A-Z then A1 Read newspapers, novels and watch English series. I don't think if you boycott yoruba movies, you will be better cos it's your native language. You just need to watch more of Hollywood movies or series. Don't just read a novel to understand the storyline, read to understand the use of english. If you come across any strange word, do well to check your dictionary. I mean make your dictionary your companion 5 Likes |

Watch BBC, listen to BBC World service when you less busy. Read novels and educational articles with good vocabularies. And also get a notebook to write down new big words (old school)/ bookmark the big word on your phone dictionary. Learn how to use the big words small small when conversing. 2 Likes |

Just pay attention to people when they speak in English Lang...Listen to Radio, Watch TV programs and don't feel bad being brought with any dialect...Most of the great people of the World were brought that way...It's simple adaptation to Societal demands... And Always take a deep breath...speak English Lang slowly and you will master it well...Mind you..most of all are mere aping the Language Speakers...Engage in discussion slowly in English Language gauging you points and facts before hand...And do forget to correct yourself immediately openly...it works Confidence in you..Cheers 1 Like |

LeksideOLM: 1.Read good novels. Things like Dickens, Eliot, and good Nigerian writers like Achebe, Soyinka, Tutuola, Aluko, ALkali, etc. Carry a dictionary to find the meaning of unusual words. 2.Read aloud as much as possible in class, and frequently(ie if you are in school)...during English class. 3.Speak in English with others for at least two hours a day 4.Use the internet. Download apps that would help.Here is one : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.funbox.englishlisteningpractice&hl=en 5.Listen to the BBC and watch the BBC |

LeksideOLM:Never feel emnarassed when you get it wrong . I envy you in some ways putting yourself out here in this fashion . It might also interest you to note some English people cannot speak proper and correct English . Some can't even read . So read more and watch more English series . Download prescribed apps and use online vocal dictionaries . |
Re: Please How Can I Improve In My English Speaking. by Naturalobserver(m): 9:03am On Oct 16, 2017 |
Download British movies e.g Rock ND Rolla,Trainspotting,London Boulevard etc.Watch ND listen to them over ND over again. Also practice speaking with good English with ur family,friends ND peers.They will laugh at you when you start but ignore them,after 2-3 years when you are grounded with good English speaking,u can return to Yoruba....You will b so use to speaking good ND correct English that sometimes when you speak your dialect with them you will unconsciously switch to good English. 1 Like |
