Dear Imran, I agree with Geetha but would add a few things: Firstly, listen to good spoken English preferably on BBC or so and try to pronounce those words yourself so that your tongue will get used to the queer pronunciations. Secondly, read good literature (I do not mean Shakespeare and such) but even good articles would do since it would help in increasing your vocabulary and you would have more words to play with and of course, as Geetha said speak as much as you know with those who know the language and ask them to correct you whenever they find errors in your speech. Hope this helps. If it is any consolation, I have had my education till class X in Marathi medium with English as my third language. However, now I love the language and though not very flowery speaker, I have not had any difficulties to be understood even by native speakers. If you need help do not hesitate to communicate with me off list. Thank you. (I am writing this on the list just so that other youngsters can also follow this). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Syed Imran" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2008 8:29 PM Subject: [AI] How do I increase my fluency in spoken english? > Dear friends > > My intuition tells me that most of us are quite "OK" at our written > english, although some of us (like me) make errors not often while > writing.
