Hi,

At the outset let me tell you that the problem you have shared is quite commonly encountered by many people. However, very few people take proactive steps, like you have done to make an effort to tackle the problem by seeking help.

It is essential also to remember that for anything you do in life, a clear goal /vision, adequate motivation / enthusiasm, hard work / discipline and the ability to take risks/ challenges are critical attributes. What you also require are the key attributes called 'discipline' and 'enthusiasm' with which you can achieve anything you want.

Your enthusiasm is the reason you wrote in at Citehr. The next test is to be disciplined and follow the suggestions given here.

1. My first suggestion is to read aloud as much as possible in English ALOUD. A standard daily English Newspaper and the Readers Digest have very good reading material. If possible record your voice and listen to it to know the areas the sounds, words and alphabets that give you trouble and on which you need to work. If possible read aloud to a friend who can give you his/ her feedback based on which you can work on improving your pronunciation as well as articulation.

2. The mother tongue influence is a problem for many considering that very few of us are native English speakers. To reduce that, make more English speaking friends and make a determined effort to speak only in English, even if you keep forgetting words, or tend to stammer or your friends tend to laugh at you. This will require a lot of will power but believe me you will soon improve. If someone corrects your pronunciation don’t take offense, instead be grateful that he/ she is helping you correct yourself.

3. I would also suggest you try to learn at least 3 -5 new words and look up the meaning in a dictionary. then try and use these words in your daily work and in your communication to improve your vocabulary. Find synonyms for words that give you trouble and use the synonym.

4. If you still feel that professional help is needed then you will have to attend English speaking classes

5. You are also welcome to go through my reply in the following link to get some more inputs on Written Communications in English

6. Finally, if you can, do visit my blogs listed below regularly and try to learn the new words in it and also be inspired by it. Try to read the blog content aloud and you can be sure it will be worthwhile since the blogs have a good response from the readers.

PS. Since you asked for feedback on what you wrote let me share the following
  • You have made an excellent effort to write so much and express yourself in English
  • I suggest you type in WORD and check for grammar and spelling mistakes

Best Wishes

Hello Jayashree,
Your eagerness to learn more and frankness to say that education
is more than studying for exams is laudable.
In addition to whatever has been suggested in the above two mails,
you can do many more things.
First thing is to have patience and a systematic approach.
As an example of learning please read the text you have posted slowly.
You will find many silly mistakes, absence of punctuation etc.
There is plenty of training material available and you can access them
by typing the topic you want to learn in the search box of the Cite HR.
You can also follow some contributors and senior members of Cite HR.
See how they make their point and interact.
