Tips
- Most English speakers use contractions, such as "I'll" or "can't," instead of "I will," or "I cannot," which are considered more formal. These are good things to practice when you're speaking alone.Thanks
- Search online for language exchange websites you can use. Some are free, while others charge a monthly subscription fee for access. These websites pair people wanting to speak English with native speakers. Typically, the native speaker is also learning your native language—hence the "exchange."Thanks
