We may have memorized endless lists of vocabulary, we may know all the grammar needed to hold any conversation and still find ourselves at a loss when wanting to express ourselves.

1)Speak, speak, speak!Be confident and speak as often as possible to as many people as you possibly can! Do not be shy to make mistakes! The more you practice the better and more confident you will become in your pronunciation and vocabulary. Remember, speaking is a skill like learning a musical instrument or new sport – the only way you can get good is to actually do it!

2)Listen! Listen to news bulletins and songs in English to listen to the pronunciation of words. You can also learn new words and expressions this way. The more you listen, the more you learn! Try copying what you hear to practise your pronunciation and learn which words in a sentence are stressed.

3.Read out loud!Read the newspaper or a magazine out to yourself. You could even find a script for your favourite TV show and act it out! This is a great way to practise pronunciation because you only need to concentrate on making sure you English sounds great and don’t need to worry about sentence structure or grammar.

4)Learn a new word every day

Choose a word you would like to work on and use practice it in different sentences. Use the word until you have learnt it and keep using it regularly.

5)Make friends. Make friends with English speakers or others learning to speak English and compare notes. Talk about things that you have learnt and exchange ideas.

6)Have a debate.Debate all the topics that interest you with friends in English. Try to use as much vocabulary as you can to get your point across and listen to the other arguments carefully so you can argue against them effectively.

When people say that communication is a two way street, the two parts they are referring to are :1)expression 2)interpretation

If we want to refine our skills in expression, we should assume that everyone is bad at interpretation, and shoulder all of the cognitive load of communication on our end.

Let's break down expression into 2 major parts:

1)The words we choose

2)How we deliver them
