Make the Language your priority
Create opportunities like speaking to small children, and finding new words by investing your time daily to commit yourself by giving more importance to the language.
Interact with English
Listen to English songs and music, watch English TV shows or programs and movies with subtitles so that, slowly, you can grab the language without even reading the subtitles. This technique is a great way to grasp the sounds of a new language.
Pronounce new words
After watching movies from subtitles and listening to music, you repeat the words used in dialogues and recollect the same if you happen to hear it again. This practice will improve your listening skills simultaneously. Check out English Elementary Conversation.
Learn vocabularies
Try to learn at least two to five new words and frame sentences of your own so that regular usage of new vocabs can help you know when and where to use the words, and your language can gradually improve.
Form phrases
After learning vocab, take a general topic of your own like your travel experience, hobby, etc. and try to put the words in sentences of about 50 to 100 words in the form of phrases like, “Tonight I am going to Ooty“ and develop your ideas to a passage.
Don’t focus more on Grammar
It seems weird, but some hesitate and always speak with consciousness by thinking more like, “Is my Grammar correct? Let me not speak; what if I’m wrong? So many questions like this arouse, and one can lose interest and confidence. So understand Grammar but don’t focus more on it.
Put yourself in situations to speak English fluently
Allow yourself to make mistakes and try to speak further even when you are grammatically wrong. You can surely learn from your mistakes by putting yourself in situations that can help you master your English.
Get a personal training
It is advisable to train yourself with a trainer if you wish to seek proper guidance in clarifying the doubts to develop your interest in the English language but don’t consider English as a “textbook subject”.
Practice frequently
