The 10 Secrets to Speaking English
1. Self-Esteem
The most important aspect of speaking is having good self-esteem. Self-esteem is how a person feels about himself. This includes “self-talk”, how a person thinks or what a person says to himself. What a person feels determines what he thinks, and what he thinks determines what he says and how he says it. A person who feels good about himself will say good things and speak well. A person who feels bad about himself will think negative thoughts and not have self-confidence. Then fear will cause a person to not speak. When most Chinese people are asked how their English is, or if they are told their English is very good, they immediately respond by saying, “Oh, my English is very poor. I have no chance to practice.” A student of English should not say this to himself or to others. A person who says it often enough will begin to believe it and soon will be paralyzed and unable to speak. Students will begin to forget what they know since the right brain cannot speak or use the knowledge stored in the left brain. A person learning to speak English must put the Chinese custom of modesty (saving face) aside. When complimented, the correct response is “Thank you.” When asked, “How is your English?” or criticized, a good answer is “I love to speak English,” or “My English is improving,” or “I am working very hard to improve my English.” These positive statements will reinforce positive thoughts and good feelings. With increased confidence a person will overcome fear and speak more freely. The mind is the most fantastic computer in the universe. Saying or thinking negative thoughts will short circuit the mind or give it deadly viruses.
2. Teaching Others
It is a known fact that the teacher learns more than the student. One receives more when one gives. When a person only receives, he becomes crippled and soon dies. First of all, a person who teaches someone else to speak English forgets his inhibitions and concentrates on helping. This is a key process in learning. The teacher actually receives more than he gives. The teacher becomes better at speaking when he gives others instructions and encouragement. Secondly, the person who speaks is forced to utilize all the skills of speaking well. The brain is forced to remember what is stored in the left brain, transfer it to the right side, translate it from Chinese into English, and then verbalize it. A teacher must speak to teach. The teacher hears himself speak and recognizes needs and self corrects while teaching, correcting and encouraging the student(s). It’s a great method and a self-motivating process. For thousands of years, this method has been a powerful secret to learning. Remember that teaching others stimulates improvement.
3. Singing Songs
Singing songs has magic that no other exercise can duplicate. A person who sings English songs over and over again will automatically memorize words and phrases. When someone says, “Let’s sing ‘Jingle Bells’ or ‘Happy Birthday’, immediately a person begins to sing the song exactly right without even thinking about it. There is no hesitation, no translation, no confusion. Also, singing allows for the practice of saying words and, at the same time, practices pronunciation because singers verbalize each word more slowly and exactly with the music. That’s what music does for a person who wants to speak English. Good songs with good words are a great aid to speaking fluently. It is amazing how quickly singing helps a person to speak. Finally, the Chinese language has many tones and in a way the language is sung. When songs are sung in English, the brain can quickly connect the thoughts and meaning with sound.
4. Talking to the TV & Radio
There are English speaking television and radio channels. Watching and listening to them is important, but talking to them is even more important. This may seem strange to family and friends, but it is almost as effective as having a native speaker present. Listening is a great way to learn, but speaking back and asking questions benefits the mind and speaking mechanism as if a real person were there. True, the TV and radio will not answer questions nor pause for comments. Nevertheless, a person’s listening skills will improve and his ability to ask good questions and give good answers will also improve. This is a good method. This method will require concentration since people habitually just “listen” to the radio and TV. Listening is good, but speaking is better. It makes all the difference.
5. Reading Aloud and Reading A Lot
Good teachers always emphasize the value of extensive reading. It’s through reading many stories and books that one absorbs the culture, meaning, and beauty of a language. So the student must Read! Read! Read! But in addition to just reading, students should read out loud. Little children learn to speak by listening to their mothers read to them. Mothers learn to read and speak better by reading and speaking to their children. Together, both the reader and listener learn to tell stories, adding drama and emphasis to words and expressions. It’s important to read to others whenever possible. If there is no one to read to, students can read to themselves. It’s important to read aloud a lot!
6. Calling Others on the Telephone
This is one of the most common and most helpful methods of improving spoken English. First, language students must identify others who are willing to speak to them in English on the telephone. These can be friends, classmates, workmates or family members. Students can either make surprise calls or make appointments to speak with a number of people every day. At first, conversations may only last a few minutes, but with practice, time spent speaking will increase. The value comes in developing the ability to hear and understand the other unseen person. Repeating parts of the conversation and asking the other person to repeat parts of the conversation might prove useful. Soon the ear will become accustomed and the speech will also improve allowing both parties to better understand each other. This can be a fun and very useful practice that exercises the brain, ears and tongue.
7. Group Participation
A student in a formal English class at a school, university, or training company must participate. It is vital to ask questions, offer opinions and actively contribute to the class’s speaking activities. It’s only the active participant whose mind and mouth work together to speak and improve speaking. The left brain of a passive spectator will record what is seen and heard while the right brain weakens and speaking difficulty increases. Also, a person cannot participate unless he attends. Active, dedicated members of a class practice many of the skills necessary to increase verbal speech.
8. Interpreting for Others
Interpreting is one of the strongest methods of exercising the whole brain to improve speaking ability. Interpreters must draw on their left brain reserves while exercising their right brain skills. It is similar to teaching others, but even more powerful because the person interpreting must hear in Chinese, mentally understand and translate information in the mind, then almost instantly verbalizes these ideas correctly in English. The more advanced the English speaking ability, the better the interpretation. It is important to begin very early to interpret, not waiting for proficiency in speaking. Interpreting is not translating written documents which are mostly a left-brain skill.
9. Memorizing New Words and Phrases
In order to progress in learning to speak English, new words must be added to the vocabulary. Always having a small list of words and using them in every day conversation is vital to mastery. Speaking new words in sentences will bring ownership. Doing this faithfully over a period of a few years will build a vocabulary as large as most native English speakers. More effective than just adding new words is adding entire sentences. Great progress comes when quotes and phrases are not just memorized but used in daily speech. The key is to Speak! Speak! Speak!
10. Read, Write, and Memorize Poetry
“Words do not convey meaning, they call it forth.” David O McKay. Like music, poetry enlightens the soul while it exercises the mind in rhythm and vivid imagery. By reading, writing and memorizing poetry, a person is exercising one of the highest forms of spoken English. It energizes both the left and right brain while it conditions thinking and trains the tongue.

Tips Menjadi Lawan Bicara yang Menyenangkan
Ketika berbicara face to face dengan seseorang kita harus terlihat antusias dan harus menunjukkan sebagai partner bicara yang baik dan menyenangkan. Akan tetapi masalah yang sering kita hadapi setiap kali kita bertatapan langsung dengan mata lawan bicara tersebut, seketika itu pula timbul rasa tidak nyaman, grogi dan bahkan salah tingkah.
Menjadi teman berbincang yang menyenangkan bisa dibilang susah-susah gampang. Apalagi dengan orang yang baru dikenal. Itu bukti bahwa tidak semua orang betul-betul menguasainya, walau sebenarnya hampir setiap waktu tak lepas dari aktivitas komunikasi dengan orang lain.
Lalu, bagaimana menjadi teman berbincang yang baik dan menyenangkan? Berikut tips-tips nya
1. Hindari detail pembicaraan yang tidak penting
Terkadang dalam sebuah perbincangan seru, Anda akan merasa terpojok terhadap pertanyaan-pertanyaan yang mendetail mengenai diri Anda atau sebuah kasus. Jika Anda menganggap hal tersebut tidak penting untuk dibicarakan, Anda tidak harus menjelaskannya. Namun, jangan pernah mengalihkan perbincangan karena akan mengubah suasana komunikasi yang telah tercipta.
2. Jangan menanyakan pertanyaan lain jika pertanyaan sebelumnya belum selesai dijawab
Jika Anda menanyakan pertanyaan mengenai salah satu sisi kehidupan dari lawan bicara Anda, jangan langsung loncat pada topik pembicaran lain mengenai diri Anda sebelum hal tersebut terjawab. Selain akan membuat Anda terlihat egois, lawan bicara Anda pun akan malas melanjutkan perbincangan dengan Anda.
3. Jangan memotong seseorang yang sedang berbicara
Ceritakan hal yang ingin Anda perbincangkan dengan jelas dan tidak bertele-tele, serta jangan pernah memotong lawan bicara. Dengan begitu Anda memberikan kesempatan pada lawan bicara Anda untuk mengutarakan pendapatnya. Perbincangan seru dua arah pun akan mudah terbentuk.
4. Jangan bertentangan, khususnya jika hal tersebut tidak penting
Perbincangan tidak akan pernah luput dari hal-hal yang bertentangan dengan nilai-nilai yang dianut seseorang. Namun, jangan pernah ngotot jika hal tersebut tidaklah penting untuk dibicarakan.
5. Jangan menguasai perbincangan
Tanyakan pertanyaan untuk mengetahui kesamaan di antara kalian. Jangan pernah egois dalam sebuah perbincangan. Perbincangan dua arah antara kalian akan membuat perbincangan semakin seru, dan Anda pun akan menemukan banyak kesamaan dengan lawan berbicara Anda.
6. Jangan selalu menjadi pahlawan dari setiap cerita
Bangunlah perbincangan yang seimbang. Jangan selalu bercerita tentang Anda, kehidupan Anda, teman Anda, dan apapun mengenai Anda.
7. Pilihlah topik sesuai keinginan bersama
Bacalah topik yang menarik untuk diperbincangkan dengan lawan bicara Anda. Jangan berbicara tentang politik jika Anda mengetahui lawan bicara Anda bukanlah orang politik.
8. Jadilah pendengar yang baik
Dengan menjadi pendengar yang baik, Anda dapat membangun topik-topik perbincangan yang seru dengan lawan bicara Anda.
9. Perbincangan harus seharmoni dengan lingkungan
Perhatikan keadaan sekitar, terkadang kondisi di sekitar kalian bisa menjadi topik yang menarik untuk diperbincangkan.
10. Jangan terlalu membesar-besarkan cerita
Ceritakan sebuah cerita sesuai fakta yang ada. Gunakan nada bicara dan ekspresi yang sesuai unuk menggambarkan cerita tersebut.Salah tingkah akibat grogi saat bicara dengan orang lain tentu menimbulkan rasa serba salah bagi kita, di satu sisi bila wajah dan tatapan mata kita tidak ditujukan ke lawan bicara ini tentu menimbulkan kesan tidak sopan dan tidak memperhatikan, tapi bila kita terus melakukan kontak mata secara langsung rasa grogi dan salah tingkah tetap akan muncul.
Untuk menghindari grogi dan salah tingkah bahkan sampai menundukkan kepala akibat grogi ketika habis saling bertatapan mata. Maka ada kiat yang sangat jitu yang patut dicoba, yaitu ketika berbicara dengan lawan bicara kita, arahkanlah tatapan mata Anda di wilayahtriangle face yang meliputi dahi, gelembung pipi dekat hidung dan wilayah bibir kiri-kanan.
Pengalaman Penerapan
Tentu saja hasil positif dari keberhasilan menggunakan tips ini akan sangat membantu kita dalam melakukan pembicaraan yang berhasil, terutama ketika sedang menerima curhat dari teman, pemberian pengarahan/ penjelasan kepada bawahan/atasan, negosiasi bisnis, dll yang memerlukan tingkat konsentrasi tinggi untuk menghasilkan sesuatu yang penting.
Cobalah terlebih dahulu kepada teman dekat Anda. Minta pendapatnya, apa benar dia merasa Anda sendang melihat matanya?, yang padahal saat itu misalnya kita sedang melihat ke arah keningnya, begitu seterusnya dicoba-coba dengan memindahkan arah tatapan mata kita ke hidung, dan bibir teman Anda tersebut. Tidak percaya? Silahkan mencoba… semoga berhasil…!
