A smartphone can be a powerful tool for learning to speak. Whenever possible, record your own voice, then listen back to see how you said it.

3. Listen

Regularly listening to English news or listening to songs is very effective for pronunciation skills. Besides, you also learn more vocabulary and expressions. The more you listen, the more you learn. When listening, try to imitate what you hear, from pronunciation, stress in words, sentences, intonation of sentences...

4. Read aloud

There's no need to be shy because you can do this when you're alone. Pick up a magazine or newspaper and read the whole article out loud. Even if you have a favorite TV show or reality show, you can look up its dialogue and read it out loud. This is a great way to practice pronunciation. You just need to focus on making your reading as accurate and expressive as possible, without worrying about word structure or grammar because the available material is considered a "sample essay".

5. Learn a new word every day

Choose a new word you want to learn that day, use the word as much as possible in different sentences and contexts. Use it until you understand it thoroughly and from there you need to apply it regularly in speaking.

6. Watch movies

Watch English movies without subtitles, watch not only for entertainment but also pay close attention to the words, phrases, and expressions said by the actors. You can review the subtitles later to check your listening ability. In addition, to make what you just learned your own, try to watch it a few times to imitate the pronunciation in the movie. This is a really fun way to learn and you will never get bored.

It's a pity if you don't have any friends who are really good at English. Try to find some friends who are native speakers, or at least people who are good at speaking English. You will learn a lot when talking in English with them.

Join a culinary science for English-speaking foreigners, or join an English book club or English speaking club. Whatever you like to do, try to do it right away as long as you communicate in the language you want to learn. When you use English to talk about the things you love, you will find it much easier to speak.

9. Debate in English

Find a few friends with similar goals, raise a topic together and debate and discuss it. Try to use as much vocabulary as possible to illustrate your point, and listen carefully to other people's opinions. You will learn a lot from activities like this. 

10. Use an online dictionary

Every online dictionary has an audio section on how to read the vocabulary. Whenever you are not sure about the pronunciation of a word, you can open the dictionary to look it up.
