Ten Important Short Habits for Speaking English Fluently.

Hello everyone! A warm welcome to this channel!  Today, in this video, we will talk about ten  

short habits that will help you speak efficient  English. So, let’s start with the first habit.  

The first habit is to write things down. Writing  does help us remember far better than just reading  

because while writing, you imprint your thoughts  not only on paper but also on your mind. Studies  

have shown that the more senses you use to process  information, the more likely you will remember it.  

Reading is simply visual. Writing adds a tactile  element. It also forces one to concentrate and not  

skim the material. Moreover, we have two kinds  of memories: long-term and short-term. When you  

write things down, you pass the information  from short-term memory to long-term memory.  

During this process, you spend longer with the  information because you write it down. Trust me,  

it's effective whenever you come across new words,  phrases, idioms, or any other information related  

to your speaking skills. So, dear learners,  without wasting your time, just jot it down. Now,  

let’s talk about the second habit. The second  habit is to pause before you respond. The pause  

helps you feel comfortable in your words and, in  turn, will help you align your thoughts correctly.  

Short pauses or short breaks give you time to  process your thoughts and focus on the keywords.  

You don’t need to rush ahead of yourself. Most  importantly, it allows your listener to process  

each part of your thoughts and stay connected  with you. The famous author Mark Twain said,  

“The right word may be effective, but no word was  ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.” Let  

me tell you, our train of thought often surpasses  our train of words. We need to pause to make them  

match and run together. Always remember English  is not about speaking fast. It is all about how  

you express yourself. The most important factor in  speaking English is not “what you say.” It’s “how  

you say”. So, just don’t rush while speaking.  Take a pause and then speak. The third short  

habit. Prioritize your task for a day. Limit your  to-do list to the topmost important task. Now  

the question arises: What should be the important  tasks of the day that would lead to achieving your  

goal of English speaking? Let me talk a little  bit about this. People mostly wake up and ask  

for bed tea or coffee, but you are an English  learner. Instead of asking for a bed tea, you  

should ask for bed English. Bed English may sound  weird. Right? But it's an incredible habit for  

learning English. Just after you wake up, whatever  thoughts come into your mind should be in English.  

Your day should start with thinking in English  and Speaking in English. And throughout the day,  

you should carry on with this habit. The moment  we wake up, the first thing that comes to our mind  

is aaj to main late ho gaya. Oh, I’m late today.  And why do we get late? Because we all have the  

habit of snoozing the alarm button. After waking  up, you need to think in English. For example,  

English related to your bed. Let’s understand  it further.

For example, when you wake up,  

you look at your bed. You can think about  the different parts of the bed. Now, let’s  

understand the different parts of the bed. Let’s  see here. This portion this portion of the bed is  

called headboard top Rail, and this portion this  portion is called headboard slat. See here. This  

is mattress. This is called mattress, and this  portion, this full portion is called cross rail.  

If you come down then here this portion is called  side rail, and these are drawers. Right? Side  

drawers and this portion this down this portion  is called bottom side rail and this portion this  

portion of the bed is called footboard slat,  footboard slat, footboard slat. Now, here, this  

portion of the bed is called headboard leg. Right?  And this portion of the bed is called cleat. This  

is called cleat. This portion is called footboard  top Rail, and this down part is called bottom  

front rail. This portion is called front leg. This  portion is called front leg, and this portion is  

called cut slats, and this portion is called side  drawer slot. This portion is called side drawer slot.

If you start your day with English in mind,  it will boost your confidence. I know it may  

be difficult for you. After all, old habits die  hard. Trust me, slowly and gradually, you will be  

habituated to this practice. Now, let’s talk about  the fourth habit. Be less reactive. What I mean by  

becoming less reactive is just ignore the people  who criticize you. Itihas gawah raha hain. History  

says whenever someone tries to learn new things,  people criticize them. For example, when Thomas  

Edison was trying to make a bulb, everyone around  him made fun of him. They would say he has already  

attempted 100 times. What is he gonna achieve?  He is wasting his time. But Thomas Edison didn’t  

react and wasn’t disappointed because of their  remarks. He didn’t lose the hope. And finally,  

what he did, the whole world knows about it.  Right? So, my dear learns, be less reactive.  

Whenever people make fun of your English, you  don’t need to react. Because the people who laugh  

at your pronunciation, at your broken English, and  criticize you, one day they will be surprised at  

how you have improved your English. How have you  learned such good English? They will try to find  

out what you did for this. They will ask you  about it. And here, let me add one more point:  

being nonreactive will help you in various aspects  of your life. Now let me tell you how it will help  

you learn English. Suppose you are in your  classroom and trying to answer in English,  

that too in broken English; let it be because  you are still learning. You are under process.  

And you observe that everybody is making fun  of your English. Don’t you think the situation  

would be very embarrassing? Yes, it would be. In  this situation, you have two options: either you  

react and lose your emotional stability,  which will add up your stress level. You  

will not only deliver your message incorrectly  but also lose your confidence. And that’s it.  

You are out of the game. But if you choose the  second option, and in the case of this option,  

you are not on the ground of being a reactive  person. You are a non-reactive person. Suppose  

you are a non-reactive person during the English  learning journey. You are in a classroom and  

trying to answer in broken English. Your friends  are making fun of you, but remember you are a  

non-reactive person this time. What happens? You  will not lose your emotional stability. It will  

allow you to analyze the situation objectively  or help you communicate constructively. It will  

not only uplift your confidence but also help you  to align your thoughts. Isn’t it? But if you’re  

constantly reacting to the people around you.  You are not living your life. My dear learners,  

being a non-reactive person is like having a  superpower. Don’t mind the people who backbite  

about your English. Ignore them. Always remember,  “Dog can bark at the moon, but it cannot bring it  

down.” The fifth habit. Find hobbies that engage  your mind and soul. The most important thing is  

to find an activity that you enjoy the most. And  stick with it. Here, you could play some small  

games that engage you in English, like vocabulary  chain, guessing a word, completing a sentence,  

and many more. Find a TV program that is  appropriate for your age, class, and learning  

level of your English. Let’s see the sixth habit.  Speak in English as much as you can. Rather than  

going for any English coaching, you better start  to swallow, eat, laugh, react, and sleep with the  

English language in your daily life. First, for  the time being, minimize Hindi or your mother  

tongue from your everyday life and replace your  old habits with new habits of learning English.  

If you watch only Hindi movies and Hindi web  series or listen to Hindi songs of Bollywood  

and do everything in Hindi then it is the right  time for you to change these habits. Activate  

channels on your TV that would help you to absorb  more English. Start listening to English songs.  

Turn on the subtitles if you are having difficulty  understanding the accent. You will need a lot of  

patience. But trust me, this really helps. That’s  how you could brush up your English. The seventh  

habit is practice. Practice is the powerful source  of learning English. Speak whenever, wherever,  

and however. Try to grab every single moment to speak  in English for your practice. It doesn’t matter if  

you talk with the wrong accent. It's completely  fine because you are learning, and you have all  

the right to make mistakes and learn from them.  Forget how people would judge you; forget how  

people would think of you. All these stuffs don’t  matter. Just speak as much as you can. If people  

don’t understand you, repeat it. But don't quit  practising. Let’s talk about the eighth habit.  

Speak more than you listen. People generally  advise listening more than you speak, but this  

rule is not applicable while learning a language.  Always remember that speaking is a stepping stone  

for non-native speakers to learn English. Let’s  understand this: reading is an individual task,  

but speaking is an interactive process. You can  appreciate others' ways of thinking and ask many  

questions through speaking. This helps your mind  understand how certain parts should link together  

while speaking. Speaking has a positive impact  on reading cognitively. If you really want to  

tune in to the language swiftly, you must speak  as much as possible. Therefore, for the students  

who are horrible at listening, I always recommend  that they work through speaking first. Moreover,  

speaking gives a chance to clarify meaning and  encourages learners to revise their understanding  

constantly. The ninth habit. The ninth habit is  having no validation and expectations from others.  

The next compelling habit is to be independent  while learning this language. Sometimes, we expect  

somebody to appreciate or motivate us during  this learning journey. If this doesn’t happen,  

we become very sad, but always remember you  don’t need any kind of validation, recognition,  

or acknowledgment about your ability to learn this  English language. However, nobody is gonna come  

and pat your back for your efforts. Let me give  you one example. Whenever you wear a new dress,  

you crave appreciation, And when nobody praises  you for the dress, you become sad. You get  

disappointed. You feel that nobody noticed it,  and you start doubting your choice. But in another  

case, when someone compliments you, you feel  exuberant. Isn’t it? I want to draw your attention  

here. Do you really need your friends' validation  of whether your dress is good or not? No,  

you don’t need. That’s your choice. Suppose you  speak broken English, and your friends laugh at  

you. Let them laugh because you made the choice to  learn this language at any cost. During learning,  

you have to pass through this phase. You must  be self-aware to recognize your mistakes and  

learn from them. That’s it. Remember, you are  not competing with efficient English speakers,  

but you are attempting to reach your personal  potential. You need to fight alone to learn  

this language called English. You need  to struggle alone. And the tenth and the  

last habit. Take breaks and recharge yourself.  Two vital ingredients of learning English are  

your mind and your attitude. Everything starts  from your mind. If you have a positive mindset,  

then only you can generate sentences in English.  Let’s understand this by an analogy: Take one case  

where you have a very good, luxurious car that  shines like anything. But its engine doesn’t work  

properly. You can’t use it for long journeys.  And on the other hand, you have a simple car  

that doesn’t look so nice, but its engine works  perfectly. You can use it confidently. You can  

take it from New Delhi to Kanya Kumari without a  second thought. Let me ask you. Which car would  

you prefer? It’s very obvious. The simple one.  Isn’t it? You will choose the car whose engine  

works perfectly because other things don’t  matter—only the engine matters. Similarly,  

our mind is also like an engine. If you don’t  have a positive mindset while learning a language,  

your engine won’t work. When a car’s engine gets  heated up, what do we do? We just cool it down,  

then start it again. In a similar manner, you need  to train the Engine called mind for English. So,  

while getting up, while sitting down, while  eating, while drinking, while walking, while  

standing, while waiting for someone, only English.  That’s how you need to develop this habit. So,  

like an Engine of a car, it’s crucial to take  breaks and recharge yourself so that you can  

work towards your goal with full potential.  Jab hamara ye engine roopi dimaag garam ho  

jata hain. Isse cool down kijiye, isse fir se break dijiye or fir se shuru kar dijiye. I wish you all the  

best for your bright future. Before I sign off,  let me share my golden words. Dip in the ocean  

again and again until you get your favourite  shell. Bye-bye! See you in the next video!
