Nowadays, many people have a problem in speaking
English and I am the one that have a problem and difficulties in speaking
English. My problem that I cannot speak English is lack of self-confident. I
realized that I have this problem because of myself confident to speak with
other people that usually use English in their daily life. Besides that, I ‘m a
person that shy to talk with other people. To improve my English proficiency I
have many ways that can help my problem with speaking English. First, observe the mouth movements of those
who speak English well and try to imitate them. As example, when you are
watching television, observe the mouth movements of the speakers. Repeat what
they are saying, while imitating the intonation and rhythm of their speech.
Second, until you learn the correct intonation and rhythm of English slow your
speech down because if you speak too quickly, and with the wrong intonation and
rhythm, native speakers will have a hard time understanding you. Do not worry
about your listener getting impatient with your slow speech it is more
important that everything you say be understood. Lastly, listen to the 'music'
of English. Do not use the 'music' of your native language when you speak
English. Each language has its own way of 'singing'.
