Think in English every day
This is a great way to improve your spoken English ~ you can do it anywhere and anytime. At home, you can talk to yourself while doing everyday tasks like preparing a meal. If you are on the train or bus, then describe the people around you (in your head, not aloud!), and when you go to sleep, go over the day's events in English.
Listen to the sound of your own voice
I have said this numerous times, CAUSE IT WORKS ==> even though you might not like hearing your own voice, this is a very useful way to find out what's wrong with your spoken English. Record yourself speaking and then listen to it or ask a native speaker for some advice ~ positive constructive criticism is always beneficial!
Keep a talking journal
Relating to ‘recording your voice’, this is another very useful suggestion; record your thoughts in English before you go to sleep at night. You can play them again at the end of the year to look back on important events, as well as monitor your English progress.
Take extra classes
If you feel you need extra practice and are finding it hard to interact with other English speakers, why not take a few extra classes here and there ~ everything helps.
Find English-speaking friends
If you are really serious about becoming a good English speaker, you need to meet people you can speak to in English. This does NOT only mean native-speakers! English is spoken by many more people as a second language than as a native language, and being able to understand different accents is a very important part in your overall English ability.
Remember that "Nothing changes, if nothing changes!" -> BE THE CHANGE to better your English and yourself . . .
