If you are a binge-watcher and proudly announce completing shows in hours, this hobby can help you transform your English speaking. Next time you binge-watch, start a show or movie in English, turn on the subtitles, and watch away.

If you are too conscious of practicing with others, talk to yourself in English. It does not matter if you stutter, goof up the words, or forget something in between. Keep practicing and eventually, you’ll be perfect.

If you have a friend who also wants to improve their English speaking, try practicing with them. Speak in English, correct each other’s sentence formation or pronunciation, and healthy competition will soon help you both get better.

Instead of texting, where you are just autocorrected, try using voice notes. Speak as best as you can, and then listen to yourself to point and find your wrongs through the voice note. This will help in flow, pronunciation, and speech.

Most news channels hire native speakers, especially as anchors. So, if you are trying to perfect a specific accent, say the British, tune in to BBC News or Sky News, or the likes. Hear them, try to mimic them, and see how they stress on words or skip some.

Although this seems a little cliche, English-speaking courses can help people, especially beginner levels. When you can't understand a word of the shows, channels, and news, a teacher can write it down for you.

If you like theatre, role plays, and skits, make one for yourself! Create a play as simple as you can with easy words and a storyline, and be the characters you wrote. Read, re-read, speak, speak again, and soon you will have perfect speech and diction.

Similar to movies, if you like English songs, they too can help improve your speech and add some ‘effects’ to it. Tune into your favourite singer, open the lyrics on your phone, and sing along as they do.
