Many things can cause our confidence to decrease when speaking English. So, what do you need to do to grow your confidence? First, we need to understand the benefits of practicing and how it’s critical to gain more confidence.
WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF PRACTICE?
Consistent practice is one of the most important things we can do to improve our skills. But what about the techniques we use to practice. Experts tell us that we should practice purposefully. For example, to master a language, we should identify our weak areas and work on those.
There is no specific number of hours you need to practice to notice results, but research has given us a simple message. People who practice for 10 hours a week or more are more likely to see success than those who don’t.
Practice means repeating some activity to improve. A systematic approach means concentrating on specific skills needing improvement. For example, if you practice on something for 10 hours per week or more, you will get better results than practicing randomly and less frequently.
THE MANY BENEFITS OF PRACTICE
Listen to English: The more English you listen to, the less complicated it will be for you to copy what you hear. Listening to native speakers and then mimicking their way of talking is a great learning exercise.
Write Every Day: You can improve your English fluency by understanding sentence structure and a more advanced vocabulary. Writing also engages a particular part of the brain to make your learning more permanent.
Practice Speaking: The more you talk, the more comfortable you feel communicating with others. Begin with everyday conversations. Ask questions when buying things at a store. Ask where you can find something to strangers, even if you already know. Give a warm natural greeting to everyone you see.
A unique way to practice your speaking is to use our AI voice recognition tech. You use your microphone and mimic the words or phrases we show you. The AI will provide feedback. It tells you if you pronounced it correctly or not. If not, it shows you the words it thinks you said. This is a brilliant way to quickly improve your English delivery.
Stop worrying about making mistakes: We all make mistakes. Make them and stop caring about it so much. To keep trying is what’s most important. If the other person understands you, feel happy about your progress. It’s all about improvement over time.

Try Reading Aloud
How the brain reacts to speaking aloud is fascinating. When you talk out loud, the brain gets activated in various ways. Initially, the frontal lobe starts to self-regulate more of the body’s movements when speech becomes active.
One study found that when people spoke to themselves in an ‘inner voice,’ they construct confidence for when they said it aloud. Likewise, when someone reads aloud, the brain has better access to all their senses which helps them remember what and how they read more easily.
HOW MUCH PRACTICE DO YOU NEED TO SPEAK CONFIDENTLY?
If you are not confident speaking English in public, don’t worry! You can fix this. There are many ways that you can practice your speaking skills. For example, you can take an English class or find an online group to converse with English speakers.
To speak confidently, you need knowledge of vocabulary, sentence structure, pronunciation, and listening comprehension to understand the other person. NY English can help you to practice all of this online.
As long as you commit to a regular schedule, you will see progress. Next, try taking our online quizzes to measure your progress. Your scores will guide you to how much practice you need. Scoring higher on advanced challenges is a sure way to build up your confidence. And that’s what’s required if you want to be successful at speaking English.
