Many students who are studying the English Language want to learn English speaking as quickly and easy as possible. In order to learn the language as quick as possible there are a few things that you need to keep in mind.

First of all, you need to choose the right vocabulary.
Second, you need to know the correct grammar.
Third, you need to be aware of stress patterns, intonation, sounds and rhythms.

These things have to be worked on before you can learn English Speaking. Now we can go into more detail about these subjects.

Choosing the right Vocabulary

The most important weapon you have when learning English speaking is a good range of vocabulary. The bigger vocabulary you have the better the conversation you will have and the more fluent in English speaking you will sound. You do not have to use words that are perfect for what you are trying to say you can always use Ah or Um while you are thinking of the right words.

Grammar

This is similar to vocabulary, the more you know the better at English speaking you will be. Grammar rules are not all that difficult to learn and once you know certain things you will be able to express yourself in a clearer manner. To be able to learn English speaking more fluently you need to understand where and when in a conversation to use certain words, like adjectives, nouns and pronouns.

Pronunciation

After you have worked on vocabulary, grammar and style there is still one more thing you need to review, that is pronunciation. If a speaker does not have good pronunciation, those around him will not really understand what he is trying to say. You do not have to sound as if you were born speaking the English language but you do have to make the right sounds or what you are trying to say will not come out right.

Using a phonetic chart can help you learn the sounds of the words by showing you the movements of the mouth. The sounds that are not used in your native language will be the ones that you will most likely have trouble with. Many people who are trying to learn English speaking like to look up a word in the dictionary to see how it is pronounced. There are two parts to speaking a word that you need to learn; those are word stress and intonation.

Advice

If you are a beginning learner to English speaking you will probably want to take some lessons that are easy to navigate through. If you are not so new to learning English and you are going to be talking to a group of people it would be wise that you rehearse and decide on some phrases. Organize your speech by listening to how others around you talk. Armed with a wide vocabulary, a knowledge or grammar and good pronunciation you will soon be able to learn English speaking both quickly.
