Default Re: help me to improve my oral communication

Your topic is quite interesting because i got a same problem too.I'm taking TESL but i don't really practise to speak English because i'm very shy.I afraid that my grammar and pronunciation is wrong even though i`ve learned English since i was in kindergarten and English is my second language.In college, i speak English with lecturers when i want to ask them regarding my studies.back to your problem, i know how you feel.I have an Indian lecturer and collegemates who speak English with Tamil accent.It's quite strange for us (students) to hear someone who speaks English with Tamil accent.I think one way to solve your problem is to learn phonetics. It teaches you to pronounce English words correctly or you can access to any websites which provide phonetics learning.There, you can listen to how native speakers pronounce the words.
