Hey, What’s up I hope you people are doing fine!

So, a few years back I was not able to speak English properly, even writing and reading! I was very much embarrassed in front of my friends, family, and colleagues so I decided I am gonna improve myself so today I am gonna share my tips and tricks that helped me to improve my English in less than 60 days, and in the end, there is bonus tip so don’t skip watch this entire video! before starting the video if you. new to this Page don’t forget to like this article !

1st tip: Stop Thinking about what you want to express in your native language and start thinking in English
-> this is a very handy tip because let me tell you what I used to do, I am Bengali so before speaking I used to set what I wanted to express in Bengali first and then try to translate in English, which increased the latency and I used Fumble a lot in this way and was not able to express properly in proper tone! So before you want to express something try to think in English first and then try to express it! It would be a much smoother way to express, at first it gonna be difficult but as you try and practice you will develop a habit!

2nd tip: Try watching English Movies or English TV Shows
-> Shows like F.R.I.E.N.D.S. or Big Bang Theory or if you like a tech head like me then watch Silicon Valley with subtitles on! Believe me, it works I have personally watched each show more than 6 times I can say it curves you that you started thinking like them which not only help you to improve your speaking ability but also reading as well and also help to add new words sentences and Idioms in your vocabulary! So try it!

3rd tip: Sing Songs in English loudly
-> It’s kinda quirky was but a fun way to learn English fast! So what I do I lock myself in a room so that I don’t disturb anyone and then plug in my earphones and then play western English music on Spotify and open the lyrics page and then I start singing the song! <Start Singing > I am a very professional singer so try to lock yourself in a room so that you don’t disturb others! <Sarcasm> Though I can’t sing at all it is helpful it helps me read faster and understand the accent!

4th tip: Speak in front of a mirror
-> I believe this is the best way to increase confidence while speaking and presenting something on stage or in front of a crowd! Earlier when I tried to present something in front of a crowd my legs used to shake like one of the concrete digging machines! So what I do is stand in front of the mirror and start talking, like this practicing I have gained quite a confidence! While speaking I can see my body posture and can note where I need to improve and also calculate the rate I fumble! For example, I love Apple and always admired their presentation of their products so I act like I am Tim Cook launching a new iPhone in the market! It’s like a game the more you play more addicted you get indeed your English is improving along with your confidence!

5th tip: Read Books or Newspaper in English
-> Just Like 3rd Tip I lock myself inside a room and I act as if a huge crowd is sitting to hear me read! I start either reading a book or newspaper out loud! It creates a habit to read the letters without stopping and helps to process faster and speak in an efficient manner!

Quick Suggestion:<if you want you can also combine the 4th tip and 5th tip together it also works >

Bonus Tip: Okay Welcome to Bonus Bakenja, so this is my favorite trick to learn English, so what I do I call random Shops and Services and talk with them and act that you’re interested in their product or service! Hiving a conversation in a language we are learning is always helpful and helps us to learn faster
Here is one example: ← calling BMW Showroom →
