The following tips helped me improve my spoken English and overcome my hesitation in the language. Hope they are useful for you too.
1. Don’t worry about making mistakes because you will make mistakes as a learner.
2. Be patient. This isn’t a one day process.
3. Learn certain phrases that can be used in multiple situations.
4. Learn how to greet someone properly.
5. Talk slowly and carefully. Don’t rush through your sentences.
6. Restrict yourself to simple sentences until you gain confidence.

8. Carefully observe how proficient speakers of the language pronounce words and frame their sentences.
9. Ask your friends, relatives and anyone you can to point out your mistakes and correct them.

14. Learn new words everyday.
15. Read at least one article of your choice aloud every day.
