Those who want to improve their spoken English, come and let’s discuss together

The purpose of learning spoken English is to communicate with others, so the order of importance for the various elements in spoken English should be: fluency – accuracy – appropriateness. Look for study partners to practice speaking together; an English corner is a great place for this. There we can not only practice speaking but also exchange experiences in learning English, broaden our horizons, and increase our interest in learning the language. If it’s difficult to find study partners or there are few opportunities to join an English corner, that’s okay – there are many ways to practice speaking on your own. For example, you can create an English-speaking environment by talking to yourself, describing the things you see, and narrating in English what you are doing. In my opinion, the methods for learning English are basically similar. You can join local English corners; they are a great option. Find a few well-known English corners in your city. There are many foreign friends over there; everyone learns from one another, with the intention of making friends and practicing language exchange. There, we can not only practice speaking, but also exchange experiences in learning English, broaden our horizons, and increase our interest in learning the language. The English Corner creates a language environment for students to learn English, which improves their language expression skills. It also provides a platform for speaking English, offering us opportunities and a setting for interaction, thereby enhancing our communication abilities. But I think I sometimes really don’t feel like going to the English corner. Of course, if you happen to be free and want to meet some new friends or get to know foreigners, it’s a good option.

For those with no foundation, they either know nothing about English at all, not even the letters A and B, or they know a little bit, but only phrases like hello and byebye for greeting. If you have no foundation at all, I recommend finding a teacher or enrolling in an English training course. Actually, I suggest choosing an English training course for those who lack self-discipline; it’s suitable for all levels. After all, learning* requires guidance; of course, self-study is still useful as it saves money and is convenient. Personally, I think this is suitable for those with a certain foundation, clear goals, and an understanding of English. If you are a half-baked English learner, I truly recommend finding a tutor or enrolling in a good English class to study. I recommend a website for one-on-one English lessons with foreign teachers that I think is quite good. It offers many courses, all of which are taught by foreign teachers on a one-on-one basis. There’s currently a promotion offering a free trial lesson; for those who want to continue with lessons, they can sign up to enroll. Keep in mind that there’s no such thing as a free lunch these days – after all, it’s a company that provides English training, and they need to make money in order to hire teachers to teach. Personally, I still think that their prices are much more affordable compared to many physical schools offline, such as EF, Wall Street English, Metenolius, and the like; a class costs around 20 yuan, which is quite reasonable compared to other options. I recommend the courses for beginners as well as the business English courses; they are very suitable for those who want to improve their speaking skills and have their pronunciation and intonation corrected. The business English courses cover a lot of topics related to foreign trade and businesses, as well as business writing in the form of emails and letters. You guys should go attend the classes yourselves; I won’t go into further detail.
Learn a little every day and keep track of what you’ve learned. There is an old Chinese saying: \"Constant dripping wears away the stone.\" There is also an old saying: Without taking small steps, one cannot cover a long distance. Therefore, to learn well, persistence is essential. Perhaps it’s difficult for us to memorize a 500-word English article every day, but we can memorize one sentence per day; that way, in ten days we’ll have ten sentences. Then, after ten days, we can memorize two sentences per day, and after another ten days, three sentences per day. Gradually, over the course of a month, we can also memorize nearly 500 words, right? Also, don’t just simply memorize sentences; when doing so, you can note down the usage of those words as well as the tense of the sentences. At the same time, learn to make sentences by using words on your own. Of course, it’s difficult at first; everything is hard at the start. Just like running, all runners will say that the first 200 to 500 meters of running are very tough, but once that part is over, it becomes easier. That’s how it is sometimes. The initial stage of learning English is always tough, but things will gradually get better after that. So starting from today, learn a little bit every day and keep a record of it. Soon, you will find that your English has improved!
If anyone has any good learning methods, they can also share them so we can discuss them together
I signed up for a tutoring class to force myself to learn* – after all, I spent money on it
English is a language that requires gradual accumulation, but most people hope to learn it quickly, which is why it’s painful! A salute to my peers who study *English every day!
