Improve your speaking!

I'm going to focus in English to talk about this strategy.
English is talked by a lot of people, there are countries in which English is the official language like in the Unit States, or in London, Manchester....but English is important everywhere!
So for example, here in Spain the official language is Spanish but we know that as a second language (appart of Catalan) there is English, because it is the international language.

English has different accents and dialects. Two of the most important English spoken are American English and British English, but we can find Irish English, Indian English, etc.
However there's the standard English which I was talking about, the international English. And if we want to talk that English well we have to pay attention to:

- The accent, the pronuntiation, the stress in syllables, the stress in sentences and the intonation.


Now, I'm going to give you some Speaking strategies so that you can make a perfect oral presentation.

You need to:

-Be prepared.
-Research your subject to be sure that you know a lot about it.
-Practice your presentation.
-Know your audience.
-Be positive (what is really difficult)
-Don't read, explain it.
-Maintain eye contact with your audience, be sure they like the way you are doing your presentation.
-Involve your audience.
-Use your voice actively.

You'll do a perfect oral presentation if you follow this steps.

Speaking is different than writing, and it has good characteristics but it has bad ones , too.

Good characteristics about speaking:

It is better for auditory learners.
Is is not permanent.

Bad characteristics about speaking:

You cannot rewrite, so if you say something you don't wanna say you can't do anything about that.
Normally you are nervous (if you are given an oral presentation) and you use simple English.


If you leave me to say something, I'll say you that the best way of learning to speak very well a language is to go to a country where that language is spoken and practice, practice a lot. If you go there alone, you'll have to eat, you'll have to relieve yourselve. So you would learn a lot because you are in their country, they probably won't understand you but it won't be their problem.

In conclusion, going abroad is the best!!!! If it wasn't so expensive I be every month in a different country learning and visiting things. :)
