Do you have your own ways to practice English speaking?

Yes, I do have many ways to better in English speaking. Here are six strategies you can use to practice speaking English at home. Students studying English pronunciation in American universities commonly use these strategies.strategy
1. Use online dictionaries
Make a list of words that you use frequently and look them up in an online dictionary that uses American English pronunciation audio files. Two online dictionaries that I recommend are merriam-webster.com and dictionary.com. Using a dictionary, find each word on your list. Play the audio file to listen and repeat the word several times. Then say the word in a sentence. Do this several times a week until you can say all the words on your list with confidence.
2. Friends and coworkers
Talk to some trusted friends or coworkers and tell them that you are working on improving your pronunciation. Ask them to correct you when you are in private conversations. Friends and coworkers often want to help but they usually don’t know how to approach you without hurting your feelings.
3. Get physical
Speaking is physical so put your hand on your face, throat and jaw to feel the way your face moves when you say American English sounds. Be aware of the way your tongue touches the different parts of your mouth when you speak. (Of course you want to do this in the privacy of your own home!)
4. Rehearse
Many public speakers and actors ‘rehearse’ what they are going to say when they are alone. When you have an upcoming situation where you know you will be required to speak English, practice the situation aloud paying attention to the speech features (stress, consonant clusters) that you are working on.
5. strategy
When you are watching an American television program or movie choose a character to ‘mirror’. As soon as your character starts to speak say exactly what he or she is saying as they say it. Mirror your character’s speech for about 15 seconds at a time. This will help you get a feel for American English intonation and stress patterns.
6. Record yourself
One excellent way to monitor your own progress is to make a recording of your voice. Here is one way to do it. Take some text and mark the features that you are trying to improve on: syllable stress, intonation, etc. Then record yourself saying the text. When you are done recording used the marked text to judge your accuracy. If you are not happy with your recording try it again. (Take a look at the Mini Lesson below to read more about this process).

I always practice my English speaking skill with my American friends on skype. It helps much because I can speak with native speaker and they can correct my grammar. But sometimes they're talk very fast and I can't undersand it. So I usally ask em to speak more slowly.

First of all, I practice my English speaking by talking with my friends.
And another one,I pratice my English speaking by discussing and also debating
with my teacher in oral's class. .

These are my way to improve and practice my English speaking.
1. Get over any fear you might have of making mistakes. You will make mistakes.
2. Be patient with yourself. Learning any language can be frustrating, but frustration won't help you, so let it go.
3. Grasp every opportunity you have to speak with people in English.
4. Talk to friends who are also learning English. Go out together for coffee and only speak English to each other!
5. Read short stories out loud and try to see, say and hear the words to reinforce your memory. Record yourself and play it back later, how does it sound?

your speaking skill. If you dare to speak or join with
imprompt speaking in abrupt situation, you will speak English
natuarally as Aj. Thubthong said. I still remember
how good it is. I have tried and I knew it is the best one to
improve my speaking.
Thank you very much.

Yes, I do!!!

I think watch DVDs rather than TV.

It’s better to use something that you can watch over again

to catch information you might have missed the first time.

Then we can try to speak after the sound.

>>>> Siriam Luadthaisong 039 3EN

Absolutely, yes.

Just think in my mind "Don't afraid of it, just speak out"
The way you learn or try is the way you become successful.

In the past, I'm worry to speak English with my teacher and foreigner
because my English is not strong. Nowadays, I try to improve and practice my English.
So, It make me dare to speak out. Sometimes, it's wrong and i lose my face,
but i think this is a way you have a good chance to practice.

Don't be afraid, just speak out.

I always think in English. Sometimes I blame on something or someone in English as well. It is very fun while speaking English without the hesitation about the grammatical mistakes. It is challenging if I speak English idioms to my foreign friends because they need some more explanation about the idioms, similar or different to Thai ones. I need to speak out to give them more detail. I always try to speak about the current happenings in my country or outside my country and then analyse: I need to express my ideas about a topic.
