Self Study English Speaking - How to Self Study English Speaking

self-study skill speaking oh this one many  of you think what how can i self-study  

speaking we often want feedback for our speaking  or we want to be in conversation to practice  

our speaking but this is not always necessary  to practice you can do self-talk which is like  

writing a journal but we do it out loud we speak  it instead of write it you can do something called  

mirroring so you can watch our july 13th  live stream for a whole lesson on how to  

do mirroring or you can join an online language  exchange so let's talk about these three methods  

self-talk which is like journaling out loud so  this is something you can do in the comfort of  

your home you can practice describing your  day maybe pull up pictures on your phone and  

try to describe them in english or describe  what you see around you out loud to yourself  

so this of course is something we do when we're  alone and we just want to practice speaking  

one of our viewers last week recommended doing  this in a mirror so you can practice things  

like keeping eye contact and using gestures  while you speak so that's great but you can  

always start by just describing your day  and practicing your english to yourself  

if you are thinking well i am not alone  often maybe you live with other people  

or you're very busy you can also practice  thinking in english and practice internally  

when you're in public or around other people  so you can still do these things but just  

think instead of speak right if you uh  like this method and you want to use it but  

you are around other people very often you can try  doing it uh with your thinking as well right okay  

next is mirroring so i'm only going to talk about  this for a minute but if you watch our july 13th  

live stream you will see a whole lesson about  how to do this mirroring is a study practice that  

involves studying and mimicking or copying a good  english speaker's speech which means their words  

intonation and rhythm and their body  language so gestures facial expressions  

and so on so make sure to check out that live  stream this is a great study method that can  

help you feel more confident in your speaking in  your pronunciation and so on and last is join an  

online language exchange there are many apps and  websites for online language exchanges here you  

can chat with native english speakers anytime for  practice for example try speaky this is one that  

is a typing chatting app but you can chat with  native english speakers for practice it's very  

comfortable because it's just again on your  phone typing so you have time to think there's  

no worries about making mistakes or anything like  that so you can use an online language exchange  

and before we end remember that enjoyment  and consistency are extremely important
