I understand English language but find it difficult to speak it fluently. What can I do? Sometimes, I write better than I speak.

Community Answer

It happens to a lot of people. Public speaking classes help a lot, as does reciting well-known speeches.

Question

I can write in English, but my vocab needs help. I try learning new words, but forget the meanings quickly. How can I make what I learn last longer?

Write the words that you learn in a sentence (or two), and keep them in a notebook. That way you can reread what you wrote and understand how the words are used. This will help you to remember them.

Ensure that you have a good dictionary and thesaurus, read well-written novels, biographies, newspaper articles, etc. regularly, get books on grammar and essay writing, and listen to debates and discussions on contemporary issues.

The speed at which your vocabulary grows will depend on how much English reading and conversing you can accomplish in "a short time."

Question

I understand English, how do I increase my vocabulary?

Donagan

Top Answerer

The more English-language books and articles you read, and the more conversations you hear, the more words you will encounter. You could even browse through a dictionary or thesaurus.

Question

Why is that I can't speak a single word before the public, but write very wonderfully?

Donagan

Top Answerer

It's probably a matter of self-confidence. Take some of your wonderful writing, and read it out loud over and over again in front of friends and family. This should help you gain enough confidence to read or speak in front of strangers.

Question

How can I be facetious in writing?

Donagan

Top Answerer

Humorous writing is difficult to do well. Read contemporary humorists to get an idea of how to do it. Dave Barry, Erma Bombeck and Woody Allen are three examples among many.

Question

My level in english is A2. How can I do to improve it?

Torpi

Top Answerer

At this stage it's best to take a class, or at least read a book (in your native language) about how to learn English. However, also use English as much as possible. If you can, read, write, listen to, and talk in English daily.
