You need to know some golden rules for spoken English in order to speak effective English. I have seen people are not able to speak English despite they have joined English speaking coaching. The main reason they are not able to speak English or any other language because somewhere they miss these rules. Following are the significant keys to speak good English:

1. Speak slowly: Although one of the purposes of speaking English is building fluency. But please take care you can not have fluency from day one. Start slowly and gradually develop your own speed. This technique will help you to start speaking English smoothly.

2Remember how you have learnt your mother tongue. Your parents and teachers just taught you how to speak; they never taught you how to speak fluently. Once you learn speaking, you automatically speak fluently.

3Your words should be clear: As a learner of speaking English it is important to understand that your words should 100 % clear and audible. If you have good command over words you will become a good speaker soon.

Speak with confidence: While speaking you should make sure you have confident voice. With shaking voice you can not make good impression.

4. Think in English: Even if your mother tongue is Hindi or any other language, gradually make it a habit to think in English only. By and by your mind will develop this habit and become a fast thinker.

5. 100 % I think you remember how you learn driving. If you have been instructed to turn first gear, you will concentrate on first gear only. Likewise while speaking English concentrate on the topic without thinking about upcoming chapters. Unless you understand the topic, just copy it 100 %.

Listen interview, talk shows and debate shows: This is one of the important tools to develop speaking English. Initially you might understand nothing or 10 % of what someone is saying. But very soon your understanding will increase. And when you start understanding English, your spoken English starts improving automatically.

7. Consistency: What ever you are doing to improve your speaking, be regular; do not be lazy. If you maintain regularity no one can stop you from becoming a good speaker.

8. Reading newspaper: When you just start learning English, do not start reading newspaper. Even if you want to read newspaper, just read a specific column. Because in start you have limited knowledge of vocabulary and if you are not able to understand what you read, you may not touch newspaper again.
