Lesson 2: Practice With Native Speakers As Often As Possible


 

Practice makes perfect, so do speak English in plenty. Some people think that they do not have the opportunity to practice speaking because they do not live in the US or another English-speaking country. They might also be discouraged because English is not used at their workplace, or they do not know any native speakers.

There is some validity in those excuses, but do not let them hinder your learning. Thanks to the growth of globalization and technology, you have more chances than ever to practice speaking English. It is impossible to be really fluent in English without practicing with native speakers. You can memorize thousands of words and you can know all the grammar rules by heart, but if you don’t practice speaking with native speakers you will never become truly fluent. Lot of ESL students expect to learn grammar and simply be able to speak fluently. While comprehending grammar may be simple, understanding how to use it and how to use it appropriately and quickly in real conversations is the most difficult challenge for many English learners. How do we get over this challenge? Practice as often as possible preferably with native English speakers. Immersion is the best way to learn English and if you can practice more with native speakers you will become fluent faster.

Practicing speaking in English with anyone is a good practice however for best results you need to have most conversations with native English speakers. Speaking English is extremely habitual, and if you have most of your English conversations with non-native English speakers who themselves are not fluent or do not have the right pronunciation, you are most likely to form the same flawed language patterns. We have found that this is the most effective way for English language learners to get better. Of course practicing English with non-native English speakers is better than not having any English conversations at all but comes with risks such as bad habit forming.
