Okay!!! Here it goes… Talking Good English isn’t all that complicated… Conversationally, English is simpler with a set of powerful rules… Americans and British are attributed to talking an exceptionally flawless language… Well, that’s never unachievable…
Grammar—the Big Base:
Focus of any language is Grammar… Spoken English deviates from essentials of written English such as spellings and punctuations… However the primary want should be acceptable pronunciations and finer fluency… Many English language trainers suggest learning grammar to an extent that renders just the necessary lessons to manage a fair conversation… Another important aspect is the use of adverbs and tenses… in every respect, fix the tenses right and never overuse adverbs while talking… Your conversation loses clarity when you thoughtlessly combine adverbs and verbs…
Use of Idioms and phrasal verbs should potentially be limited to casual conversations… Chiefly, idioms occur in slang and informal usages that are hardly accepted in terms of formal and official English… Make sure you don’t use them often when you’re in an official environment… Clearly, you won’t sound neater if slang joins your spoken English…
Example1:
Joe was all ears when I told him about the murder...
Joe was keenly attentive when I told him about the murder…
The first one sounds better with the slang... If you try replacing it with Keenly Attentive, it does sound kooky… It’s because you don’t have to be keenly attentive when someone’s telling you things about a murder... You can employ keenly Attentive if it is a conference or anything that’s sincerely official…
Example2:
Ross was wishy washy about his plans to move to Iowa as he wasn’t all that good at English
Ross was unclear about his plans to move to Iowa as he wasn’t all that good at English
Here, Wishy washy sounds plainly informal… Ross has plans to move to Iowa, with the reason that he isn’t fluent at English… When you’re talking to someone about this, however this being a sentence of importance, you should be using unclear replacing wishy washy...
Stop Translating!
A very serious problem that nags almost everyone who takes steps to talk perfect English is this Translation from the native language… It is indeed an issue that would curb you from talking neatly patterned sentences… Listen to a lot of Pure English speakers and its time you should stop memorizing idioms and synonyms to most used words… Alternatively, you can surf the thesaurus and make sure you listen how it is pronounced… Put a big end to using dual language dictionaries… Remember it’s a big caution… Translations cannot always prove right and may tend to destroy the beauty and uniqueness of a language…
Here are some usually spoken sentences that are ridiculously translated…
Example:
1. Wrong: I had breakfast in the morning itself
Right: I had my breakfast earlier this morning
2.Wrong: Why is she doing like this?
Right: What’s wrong with her?
3.Wrong: Please go and sit in your place
Right: Please go to your place
4.Wrong: They are also coming
Right: They are coming too
5.Wrong: Have your lunch soon
Right: Have your lunch on time
6.Wrong: She is going to go in the evening
Right: She will go in the evening
Besides, there are lots which most of the beginners use everyday…. Ensure you correct those as your learning process progresses by time…
Socialize confidently
Open your talk with an undaunted spirit… I am sure it won’t let you down… When you have that drive to talk, with a lot of mistakes though, you should realize that you’re in the developmental stage…You may take hell a lot of time to understand American or British English, but it’s worth listening and socializing… English is not like math or science that requires lot of research… All that English wont need is translation and everyday learning as what a schooling kid does… English enriches by listening, reading, and writing… It’s about creativity and innovation… Never get hurt if you are made fun of… Every success comes from a bitter experience… Loosen your worries and inhibitions and its time you start communicating with ease…
Example:
A: Hey, How are you doing??
B: I am doing good and you??
A: Great!!
B: Are you in town??
A: Yes I am, could we meet some time???
B: Sure!! Why don’t we invite Jude?
A: Of course!!!! We could have a blast this weekend if Jude is available...
B: Hold on!!! It’s Jude on the other line…
A: Okay...
B: Hey Jude, I just spoke to Sam about a meet this weekend…
Jude: Hey know what, I’ve gotten three tickets to Palm Beach, this weekend…
B: wow!!!! It’s going to be an amazing weekend!!! Let’s enjoy ourselves…
B: Hey!!! Man!!! I have some news for you… (To A)
A: Oh… Really?? What’s that???
B: we’re spending this weekend in Palm Beach with Jude... He just told me that he’s gotten three tickets... It’s the VIP suite...
A: WOW!!!!!
B: Okay!! Let’s meet in Bolton square on Friday, 6: 00 PM sharp…
A: Alright!! Take care…
B: Bye...
All you need to be doing is practice that proves effective with an out-and-out know how of grammar rules, enough vocabulary and just the right employment of words…
