English communication

Welcome to A2K, Srirams. Perhaps the best way to learn verbal communication is to read and decide what best impresses you; however, whatever your exchanges, they should be honest.

practicing with others who can speak English well. Reading where you can

hear yourself .

Listening, watching English programmes, movies, etc.

I think this helps a lot, but the key is always practicing.


and ofcourse welcome to A2K

Thanks team for the suggestions.

Are there any good books that can pave the way for improvements?
I also feel that my memory power needs to increase.

Any tips on that.

I'd suggest too that you should avoid complicated grammatical constructions and important-sounding words. If in doubt, go for the simpler way of saying anything.

This holds good for both native and non-native speakers, and is especially important when speaking. If you write something, when people miss your meaning they can go back and read it again; if you speak to them, they don't have that luxury.

- and if you're new to speaking in public, remember to breathe steadily and not to talk too fast; nervousness often makes speakers gabble.

Hi Syntinen,

Thanks for that bit of suggestion.
I am currently in London where I see the English speak so well with whatever they speak. Their flow is so organised and polished.
I am just wondering if I can emulate their stlye (not accent though) of speaking.
Listening to them speak is a good experience on its own.

Regards
