There are few techniques which can help you improve the way you talk in English. I will mention those techniques on point basis with little description on each point below:

1. Avoid copying accent
If you want to speak proper English, don’t try to copy the accent of native English speaker. I am telling you this because I have seen many people who make pronunciation errors while trying to sound like a native English speaker. But, if you think you can copy accent with an ease, try it. If you can’t, just avoid it and speak on your natural tone.

2. Use simple grammar
Try using simple sentences until you are an advance speaker. Using simple grammar will help you avoid some silly mistakes. In addition, try using vocabulary you are familiar with. If you try to introduce new words while speaking, you may not know how you to pronounce them.

3. Talk more to get adapted
Even though it is a very basic technique, I consider it the most important one. Talk more on English whenever possible. Whenever you get a chance, share your ideas or put on your thoughts on English. Talking more will definitely help you built more confidence making you feel comfortable with it. When you start feeling comfortable while speaking on English, you’ll possibly not make the mistakes you make due to your nervousness.

4. Find partners to speak
If you don’t have friends with whom you can speak on English, you may join English speaking clubs. If no English speaking club exists at your please, may find anonymous friends online to do a voice chat. Using Yahoo messenger may be very useful if you want to find friends online to practice speaking English online.

These are some of the techniques which will help you improve your spoken English. I hope these techniques will help you.
