If the plural of goose is geese, why isn’t the plural of moose meese? And since vegetarians eat vegetables, do humanitarians eat humans?
The structure of the English language is both confusing and laughable at times. And it’s really one of the most difficult languages to learn in the world.
But practice makes perfect, or at least it makes you slightly more fluent. And when you’re more fluent, you gain confidence.
Today we’re going to talk about a few easy ways to practice speaking English. And by the end, you’ll have a few new tricks for learning both on your own and with your friends.
1. Use Technology to Practice Speaking English
Technology made the world flat.
We can now communicate across vast distances instantly.
And being able to practice English with someone without having to leave your home is a major perk of internet technology.
You can find a conversation partner with websites like “My Language Exchange.“
Or, if you already have a virtual reality headset, you can talk with native English speakers using an avatar. And you can do it in fun environments like the bridge of The U.S.S. Enterprise from Star Trek or in a wild west town.
2. Use Community Websites
The internet is full of communities ready to accept new and intermediate English speakers.
Of course, the best way to practice your English is in a face to face environment.
And if you feel like getting out of your house and into your community, the Meetup website might have a group near you.
3. Use Apps on the Go
Just brushing up on your English while you’re on the train or riding in your carpool each day can really keep your skills fresh.
And there are plenty of apps that can teach you a little more English on the fly.
But when you want to practice speaking English, you’ll probably have to find time on your own.
If you do a quick search, you’ll find there are plenty of apps that facilitate conversations with other people trying to learn English and sharpen their skills just like you!
4. Use a Dictionary App That Let’s You Practice Speaking
Before smartphones, if you heard a new word you had to write it down and the pull out a massive bilingual dictionary.
Now there are apps galore able to listen and translate.
But what if there were an app that corrected your pronunciation?
