9 Tips to Improve Your Language Skills 

Don’t be afraid to make mistakes 

Your goal is to deliver a message, not speak perfect English, with the right grammar and vocabulary. Even native English speakers make mistakes! 

Listen 

The more you hear, the easier it will be for you to speak better English. You’ll start speaking more fluently and confidently in English conversations, learning how to give your opinions in English with new expressions and idioms. 

Practise, practise, practise 

Practice makes perfect. Constantly look for opportunities to test out your spoken English. Busuu's online English classes, for instance, are interactive, 45-minute group lessons, guided by a professional teacher. 

Celebrate success 

Every time you talk to someone in English is an achievement. Every single interaction you have, no matter how small, will help you improve your skills over time. 

Talk to yourself 

It will look funny, but by talking to yourself in English in front of the mirror for each day, you'll learn to pronounce every letter in the English alphabet, plus when and how to use different expressions. 

Think in English 

Go from speaking good English to great English by thinking in the language. You’ll find it difficult at first, but after some time you’ll learn how to switch between speaking English and your first language. 

Tongue twisters 

Tongue twisters help improve your diction teach you how to speak quickly. Practise with tricky sayings like this: “The thirty-three thieves thought that they thrilled the throne throughout Thursday". 

Interact with English every single day 

You should be doing something in English every single day, even if you’re not actively studying.  

Work on your pronunciation 

Working on your pronunciation is helpful for a few reasons. Firstly, if another English speaker finds your accent hard to understand, they might underestimate your level of English which will be frustrating.
