Speaking the English language is easy. Study of English language requires certain rules in grammar and sentence construction.
Principle guide to spoken English is specifically written for all undergraduates and post graduates with aim of improving their written and spoken language.It is important that you speak loudly and clearly when you are studying spoken English. You are retraining your mind to respond to a new pattern of proprioceptive and auditory stimuli. This can only be done when you are speaking aloud at full volume. One of the reasons that your English study in school required so much time while producing such poor results is that none of the silent study did anything to train your tongue to speak English. Traditional English instruction for non-English-speaking students has reversed the process with poor results. Most English classes teach grammar as a foundation for spoken English. The quickest way to teach students to read English is to teach them to speak it first. The fastest
way to teach them sufficient grammar to pass college entrance exams is to build a foundation by teaching them to speak English fluently. Whenever the process is reversed, it takes a needlessly long time to succeed in teaching grammar and writing skills, much less fluent spoken English.Phonetic differences of type between speakers reflect the way that the individual speaker has learned, over a lifetime of habituation, to use his/her vocal apparatus. An obvious element of phonetic use is the speaker’s accent, which will be partly a result of learning the mode of speaking which typifies the speaker’s sociolinguistic accent community, and partly a consequence of the (usually minor) idiosyncrasies which help to identify the speaker as an individual within that community.
