️ Tips for Speaking Skill ️
The first rule of speaking English is to learn to speak clearly and concisely.
Try to avoid using idioms and slang. You may use it in the wrong situation, or maybe the other person simply doesn't understand you. The value in what you have to say is what you say, not how clever you look or sound when you say it. So it's a good idea to try to use simple, clear vocabulary, KISS - keep it short and simple.
Be Confident
Get over any fear you might have of making mistakes. You will make mistakes. Do not hesitate. Talk to whoever you can. Decide among your circle of friends that you will only talk in English with each other. This way you can get rid of hesitation and also have your friends correct you when you are wrong.
Talk to Friends
Talk to friends who are also learning English. Go out together for coffee and only speak English to each other! This would be a perfect initial stage to improve English Speaking Skill.
Record your own voice and listen
Another effective way is to record your own voice and listen to it. You will notice hesitations and pauses. You may also notice that you make some grammatical mistakes while speaking that you do not make while writing. You must aim to improve and rectify these mistakes in subsequent recordings.
Read short stories out loud and try to see, say and hear the words to reinforce your memory. Record yourself and play it back later.
Conversation
Start a conversation with strangers in English. Since you do not know them personally, you will feel less conscious about what they would feel about you.
Be patient with yourself
Be patient with yourself. Learning any language can be frustrating, but frustration won't help you, so let it go. Speak clearly and concisely. Grasp every opportunity you have to speak with people in English.

What is a dangling preposition?

Dangling Prepositions   What is a dangling preposition? A dangling preposition (also called a hanging preposition or stranded preposition) refers to a preposition whose object occurs earlier in the sentence, or else does not have an object in the sentence at all. It is left “dangling,” “hanging,” or “stranded” because it does not form a complete prepositional phrase. Despite what you may have been taught, it’s a myth that ending a sentence or clause with a preposition is an error. We’ll discuss that myth—and its origin—later in the article. Encountering dangling prepositions Remember that a preposition expresses a relationship (as of time, space, distance, causation, etc.) between a noun or pronoun (the object of the preposition) and another element in the sentence. Dangling prepositions generally occur with prepositional verbs or phrasal verbs. These are verb constructions that require prepositions to complete their meaning. For example, you don’t talk someone, you ...
