Tips for Getting English Conversation Practice

1. Try shadowing.

The shadowing technique is basically repeating word for word some piece of native audio trying to imitate (copy
the way of talking) the native speaker.
This is a great way to help beginners start talking, since the main focus is not understanding what’s being said but
imitating the original audio as accurately as possible.
For this reason, shadowing is a fantastic tool to improve pronunciation and stop feeling stressed when talking in
English.
2. Use FluentU.
FluentU uses real-world videos full of native English content that you can use to improve your speaking skills and
have some English conversation practice.
There are a lot of videos that include examples of real English conversations in many different situations, so by
using FluentU, you’ll learn what to say when those situations come in real life.
Besides, you can use FluentU’s native content to practice tip #1, and since every video includes
subtitles, shadowing will be even easier.
Subscribe now to FluentU English and start having English conversations right away.
3. Talk to yourself.
Take some time every day to talk to yourself in front of the mirror or while you’re having a shower.
It’s better if you talk out loud, but it can also be in your mind.
Even if you don’t have perfect grammar or don’t know a lot of vocabulary, practicing simple conversations with
yourself will get you ready for the real ones.
4. Describe what you see.
Whenever you have the time, describe what you’re seeing to yourself or to others.
If you’re in a place where you can’t speak out loud, do it in your mind.
Describing what you see doesn’t look like a real conversation, but it helps you think fast and react to what’s
happening, which is exactly how conversations work.
If you feel brave enough, you can also describe how your day went to your family, friends or partner, but you’ll
need to learn the past simple and past continuous first if you want to do it properly (correctly).
5. Listen to and watch English media.

Using English media, especially English media made by and for native speakers, is also a fantastic way to practice
your conversation skills.
English movies, series, the radio, YouTube videos, podcasts… There are many ways in which you can access
native English and listen to real examples of conversations you can later reproduce (copy) when you speak.
As you know already, FluentU uses real-world videos and transforms them into English speaking, listening,
grammar and vocabulary lessons. Give it a free try and see for yourself!
You can also watch native English media in places such as Netflix, HB, Amazon Prime, Disney+ or Hulu, just to
name a few.
For example, I’m completely hooked on (very interested in) Netflix’s series “Snowpiercer.” It tells the story of a
group of people who are living on a train called the Snowpiercer after the whole planet has become frozen. If the
train stops moving, they’ll freeze to death, so everything in the series happens inside of it.
I also recommend you listen to a good native podcast and try to pay attention to the speakers’ pronunciation,
intonation and speed/rhythm. This will help you improve your listening skills, and when you understand better,
you learn more, so you can also speak better.
My favorite podcast lately is “Stuff You Should Know,” a podcast perfect for everyone who’s interested in the
world around them and wants to know more about it.
In this podcast, you can learn a lot of facts about topics like speed reading, uranium, taxes, circuses, the Titanic and
many, many more.
6. Use conversation apps.
There are phone apps that specialize in teaching English conversation.
Apps come in handy (are useful) if you like learning everywhere because you can download them into your phone
and use them whenever you need to.
Conversation apps can offer different ways of learning. Some teach you word pronunciation and sentence
intonation, others give you vocabulary and examples of conversations, and there are others that even have speech
recognition and allow you to record your own voice.
Two fantastic apps I really recommend are SpeakingPal (which is a perfect option for beginners) and ELSA (which
is a great option if you want to improve your American pronunciation).
7. Try tongue twisters.
This tip can sound crazy, but it really works.
Tongue twisters normally focus on one or two specific English sounds. These sounds can be difficult sometimes, but
what makes tongue twisters challenging (difficult) is having those sounds repeat many times and very close to
each other.
If you practice with tongue twisters, your pronunciation will improve, and when you have to pronounce a difficult
word or talk faster during a conversation, you won’t have any problem.
8. Read out loud.

Reading out loud is an excellent exercise that’ll help you improve your pronunciation, accent and intonation.
When you read out loud, you’re going from a passive to an active activity.
This means you’ll be more focused while doing the activity, which will help you remember more words and
grammar patterns you can later use in conversation.
In addition, when you read out loud, you try to sound more like a native, so if you don’t know how to pronounce a
word, you’ll probably look for its pronunciation online.
The result is an improvement in your pronunciation and speaking skills.
9. Find a language partner or a speaking tutor.
Another way to get some English conversation practice is to find a language partner or a speaking tutor.
Language exchange partners are normally free because you’re teaching them your language and they’re teaching
you theirs in return.
There are many websites where you can find a language exchange partner living in your area, although (but,
however) having a language exchange online is getting more and more popular.
Another option is to find a tutor who specializes in English conversation.
Language tutors and teachers cost money, but their knowledge of the language and their teaching skills will
normally allow you to get better and faster results than with a language exchange partner.
If you want to find a good English tutor, you should check out Verbling.
10. Take an online speaking course.

My last tip for you is to take a conversation class or course.

This type, of course, is specifically designed to make you speak and lose the fear of making mistakes. You’ll be
surrounded by other classmates with a level of English similar to yours, so you’ll feel more comfortable
talking around them.
This will give you a taste (an example) of what having a real conversation in English is, and when the situation
comes, you’ll be ready to impress everyone with your English.
Online speaking and conversation courses are a perfect alternative to in-class speaking courses because you don’t
have to leave your house to take them.
Thanks to the internet, it’s now possible to choose among thousands of courses directed to students who want to
improve their conversation skills.
Many of them (especially if they’re MOOCs) are completely free, so there’s no valid excuse not to start improving
your conversation skills today.
If you want two high-quality courses to start with, my recommendations are:
 Speak English Professionally: In Person, Online & On the Phone . This is a MOOC offered by the Georgia
Institute of Technology. It’ll help you improve your pronunciation and teach you how to speak English
correctly in different situations.
 Speak English With Confidence: English Speaking Course . If you’re at the A2 level and want to start
speaking more and better about everyday topics, this course is perfect for you.
 
Simple, right?
You’re now an English conversation master!
Having a conversation in English doesn’t have to be complicated. You may feel a little awkward and shy about your
English speaking at first, but it’s okay.
If you’re scared of making a mistake, it’s understandable. But mistakes are going to happen when you get started
with spoken English—it’s absolutely normal.
Making mistakes is a big part of learning English conversation for beginners. This is how you get better, so just go
for it. Just start talking, because now you know what to say!
Stay curious, my friends, and as always, happy talking!
