4 tips to improve your spoken English today

1.  Learn from every conversation:  Be your own teacher and listen when you open your mouth to talk.   What works?  What doesn’t?   

2. Nothing works till you do:  Improvement takes practice so don’t be shy, start using English in more situations. 

3. Be positive:  No one wants to talk with a mad or sad person.  Greet people with a smile and see how your English improves.  

4.  Really listen:  People love to be asked questions but that requires you to listen.  Listen and ask questions and start improving today.
