Now, I have decided to achieve better communication skills in English. :evil: My husband says, there is a bit difference between written and spoken English.
Can you guide me with some simple tips? :)

See Chinmoy's reply on this post!! Also speaking good English or for that matter any language, it is not just about facing a big audience but doing equally well in speaking with a single person or a few people!
Spoken English actually means informal conversation with single or a few persons. Speaking before audience is altogether different and that is usually monologue. You may deliver a prepared lecture before audience but need to speak extempore during conversation.[/quote]
You are absolutely correct! A speaker addressing an audience is privileged to speak and unless there is a 'question and answer' session,he or she is not supposed to be disturbed by any!
Let me give you a good comedy scene from a Malayalam movie "Achuvinte Amma" meaning Achu's mother.
Though you can't understand it full, I am sure, you will really enjoy it. It's one of the best comedy scenes in Malayalam movies related to spoken English.

Have at least one member gone through this video?? :angry: :angry: :angry:
Incidentally, the last few posts are not relevant for discussion but mere chatting. There us no short cut to spoken English. I may suggest following steps:
(1) Listen to English language telecasts, videos and movies.
(2) Read aloud text in a book or newspaper. This will enable you to practice English speaking. Better read aloud conversational portions of a novel.
(3) Speak in English only as far as possible.
I could learn fluent English speaking within six months while in class VI just by stubbornly speaking in English only. I had virtually no knowledge of English till Class V.

Where there is a will there is a way!!!
yes, your proverb is really and absolutely 100% correct.
Even i don't know english to speak at all. Full of broken english i used to speak. Later i felt i need to learn to speak fluently for good communication. Then I joined spoken english classes. But it is not much benifited. Only i understood grammar form spoken english class. Then I understood that as much practice we have of speaking english that much we will get fluency of english. so i started using few tricks.
Those are 2 tricks i have worked out to speak.
When ever an free, I used to call to customer care and keep the language in english. and i used to talk to those people in english and i used to observe their english.
Another trick is, I mostly used to make friends who does not know any of the language i know. so that i can communicate with them only in English. and i used to spend most of the time with those people and keep on communicating in english.
Even by attending interviews also i have improved my speaking.
