Do not translate
Avoid translating what you hear, or what you say. Translating a phrase from your
mother tongue to English or vice versa will completely ruin the actual meaning of the
phrase. It will also most likely be incorrect. Instead, use a dictionary.
Study words and phrases
I’ve been using the term ‘phrases’ a lot. You may know a thousand words in the
language, but putting them together and making an intelligible sentence could be
difficult. This is because you are not concentrating on using the words you are learning.
To speak fluently, you need to learn how to put words together into phrases and
sentences.
Idioms
Idioms are an essential part of the English language. You will find yourself dumbstruck
if you do not understand idioms. You might hear somebody saying ‘break a leg’ to you
before your English exam, and you would be baffled at why somebody would want you
to break a leg. ‘Break a leg’ is actually an idiom meaning ‘best of luck’ or ‘I hope you
do well’. Fluency in English requires the knowledge of idioms.
