Why Is Speaking English Difficult?

Many learners wait until they “know enough grammar” before speaking. This is a common mistake.

Speaking improves through use, not only through study.

To improve your English speaking, you need three things:

Input
You need to listen to English so you can learn useful words, phrases, rhythm, and pronunciation.
Output
You need to speak aloud so your mouth and brain become faster at producing English.
Feedback
You need to notice your mistakes and correct them gradually.

The goal is not to speak perfectly from the beginning. The goal is to speak more often and improve step by step.

Start with Small Speaking Goals

Do not start with a big goal like:

I want to speak English fluently.

This goal is too general.

Instead, use small, clear goals.

Examples:

I will describe my day for one minute.
I will answer five common questions aloud.
I will record myself speaking about my weekend.
I will practise three useful phrases today.
I will speak English for five minutes with a friend.

Small goals make speaking practice less scary and easier to measure.

Use English Chunks, Not Only Single Words

A very effective way to speak more confidently is to learn phrases, not only individual words.

These useful phrases are called chunks.

Examples:

That sounds good.
I’m not sure.
Could you repeat that, please?
In my opinion, ...
Let me think.
I agree with you.
I don’t really think so.
What do you mean by that?
Can I ask a question?
Could I clarify one point?

Chunks help you speak faster because you do not need to build every sentence from zero.

Daily Speaking Practice Routine

Here is a simple routine you can follow every day.

Step 1: Listen for Two Minutes

Choose a short audio or video in English.

Listen carefully to:

pronunciation
sentence stress
rhythm
useful phrases

Step 2: Repeat Useful Phrases

Pause the audio and repeat short phrases.

Try to copy the speaker’s rhythm and intonation.

Example:

Original phrase:
Could you say that again, please?

Repeat it five times slowly, then five times naturally.

Step 3: Speak for One Minute

Choose one simple topic.

Examples:

my morning
my family
my favourite food
my last weekend
my daily routine
a film I watched recently

Speak for one minute without stopping.

Step 4: Record Yourself

Use your phone to record your answer.

Then listen and ask:

Did I speak clearly?
Did I pause too much?
Did I repeat the same word many times?
Did I make grammar mistakes?
Can I improve one sentence?

Do not try to correct everything. Correct one or two things each time.

How to Improve Pronunciation

Pronunciation is not only about saying individual sounds correctly. It also includes rhythm, stress, and intonation.

To improve pronunciation, try these strategies:

1. Shadow Short Audio

Shadowing means you listen, pause, and repeat.

Example routine:

Listen to one sentence.
Pause.
Repeat the sentence.
Listen again.
Repeat again with the same rhythm.

This trains your mouth to move more naturally in English.

2. Focus on Word Stress

English words have stressed syllables.

Examples:

PRE-sent
im-POR-tant
con-ver-SA-tion
pro-NUN-ci-A-tion

Wrong stress can make your speech harder to understand.

3. Practise Common Phrases

Instead of practising random words, practise full phrases.

Examples:

Could you help me?
I don’t understand.
Let me explain.
What do you think?
That’s a good point.

This helps you sound more natural in real conversations.

How to Build Speaking Confidence

Confidence comes from repetition.

You become more confident when your brain starts to feel:

I have said this before. I can say it again.

Try these confidence-building tasks:

answer the same question three times
practise short conversations
speak to yourself while doing daily tasks
record your voice and listen without judging yourself
prepare answers for common topics

Common questions to practise:

What do you do?
Where are you from?
What do you like doing in your free time?
Why are you learning English?
What did you do yesterday?
What are your goals this year?

Real-World Examples

Casual English

I watched a series last night, and I really liked the ending.

Professional English

Could I clarify one point before we continue?

Academic English

In my view, the evidence supports the author’s argument.

Travel English

Excuse me, could you tell me where the nearest station is?

Classroom English

I’m not sure about the answer. Could you explain it again?

Common Mistakes Students Make

Mistake 1: Waiting Until Grammar Is Perfect

Incorrect approach:
I will speak when my grammar becomes perfect.

Better approach:
I will speak with simple grammar now and improve gradually.

Why?
Speaking practice helps you notice which grammar you actually need.

Mistake 2: Memorising Long Speeches Only

Incorrect approach:
I memorised one long paragraph, so I can speak English.

Better approach:
I practise flexible phrases that I can use in different conversations.

Why?
Real conversations are not memorised. You need to listen and respond.

Mistake 3: Only Reading and Writing

Incorrect approach:
I study grammar and vocabulary, but I never speak aloud.

Better approach:
I read, listen, and speak aloud every day.

Why?
Speaking is a physical skill. Your mouth needs practice too.

Mistake 4: Trying to Translate Every Sentence

Incorrect approach:
I think in my language first, then translate every word.

Better approach:
I use simple English phrases directly.

Why?
Translation slows you down. Chunks help you speak faster.

Key Learning Points

Speak before you feel ready.
Confidence comes from repetition.
Use useful phrases, not only single words.
Record yourself to notice pronunciation and grammar patterns.
Practise real interaction: speaking means listening and responding.
Short daily practice is better than one long session once a week.

Pro Tips for Faster Learning

Tip 1: Use a One-Minute Speaking Diary

Every day, record yourself answering one question.

Examples:

What did I do today?
What am I planning to do tomorrow?
What made me happy today?
What was difficult today?

Tip 2: Shadow Short Audio

Choose a short audio clip and copy the speaker.

Focus on:

pronunciation
rhythm
stress
intonation

Tip 3: Prepare Common Answers

Prepare simple answers for everyday topics.

Examples:

work
hobbies
family
goals
study
travel
daily routine

Tip 4: Learn Repair Phrases

Repair phrases help you continue speaking when you feel stuck.

Examples:

Let me think.
How can I say this?
I mean...
What I’m trying to say is...
Could you repeat the question?

These phrases help you stay calm during conversations.

Practice Exercise

1. Speak for 60 seconds

Topic:

Talk about your morning.

Try to include:

what time you woke up
what you ate or drank
what you did first
how you felt

2. Record yourself answering this question

What do you do?

Example answer:

I’m a student, and I’m learning English because I want to communicate more confidently.

3. Practise this phrase five times

Could you say that again, please?

Say it:

slowly
naturally
politely
with confidence

4. Complete the speaking sentence

In my opinion, English speaking improves when __________.

Example answer:

In my opinion, English speaking improves when learners practise a little every day.

Final Summary

To improve your English speaking skills, do not wait until your grammar is perfect. Start speaking now with simple sentences, useful phrases, and short daily practice.

The best formula is:

Listen every day + speak aloud + record yourself + get feedback

Small daily practice will help you become more fluent, confident, and natural over time.
