What Are the Issues That Stop You From Speaking English Fluently?

I think some people don't have enough vocabulary,so when they speak english,some words which they know in their mother tongue,at the time,they don't know the meaning in English of that words.

Fluency comes,when you are habitual of Speaking english. Although you have studied in English medium school,still many people can't even express them,,because in school too they were not regular in speaking english.

I think its the lack of practice of speaking in english that makes one fumble...making it a habbit of talking in english even with our siblings at home will help

Surely, it's lack of practice and shortcoming posed by inadequate vocabulary and insufficient knowledge in grammar but the one I would like to point out here has something to do with the psychology of the speaker what I term as 'mental block'!

As I have indicated in the original post that persons in question knew grammar as well as having strength of vocabulary but they suffer from acute self-consciouness which I call 'mental block.'So one must remove that diffident nature first.

Sir,that is removed automatically,as he/she starts speaking and when it comes in habit.

Making English your second language would help you out. One of my professors used to say that if you think you want to learn bicycle and keep starring it for days together, it won't help you in anyway but if you really want to learn it then you need to ride it. Same goes for English, along with it's regular usage try thinking in English as well!!

Lack of practice and like Chinmoy said, mental block! Also the fear of being ridiculed when you speak something in the wrong manner! is what deters most people from speaking English fluently!

yes , lack of practice of speaking, If they practicing daily then they can speak English fluently

I also observe that there are many professionals in chartered accountancy, medicine and law who are proficient in English but cannot converse fluently in English.

We need to differentiate between spoken and written English. Proficiency in written language does not give you skill in spoken language. We need to practice reading and writing for written language. But spoken language needs listening and speaking. It is necessary to see English language movies, TV shows, radio broadcasts and speak in English preferably with individuals expert in spoken English.

Personally, I did not know English beyond simple words and alphabets till class V. On my fathers's posting to Kanpur, I was admitted in a school that imparted English language study from primary level. This caused me a feeling of inferiority. However, I began speaking, talking, reading and writing in English only. Within six months, I was at the top in my class. In this connection, please see my article. The link is given below:

Let me correct your spelling. 'Explain' is correct but 'explaination' is wrong. This should be 'explanation'.

You need to start communicating in english with the person,who knows english very well. This will help to come out different words which is in our mind,but not coming out. I mean the knowledge will improve.

To get the speaking of the english fluently, we need to have great practice of english, as much speaking practice we have that much fluent we can speak in english. for have good practice we should be in between the people who know the language which you know. the communication between you must be english only then only your english develops professional level

I remember when i was in abroad in Nigeria,i was with the people who only know one language,that is english,so i was only having one choice and that to communicate in english. There i have improved a lot and from there i got understood that English language is very important and you should know this language.

Yes english is a universal language..if one can speak english ,im sure that he will find someone to talk to in every country of the world.

Speaking in english is really a good thing. to improve it we need to speak and read alot
