7 things to improve your English communication







English is very easy to learn.All you need to do is train yourself to speak English as comfortably as you speak your mother tongue. You need certain practice in your daily life. Here are some tips to follow:


1. Make friendship


Find out a friend who also wants to improve his or her English and have lunch or dinner with them. Make it a habit and utilize the whole time for communicating in English. Introduce penalties if this rule is broken. Of course, this will help you to improve your listening and speaking skill. If


you don't have enough time to go out and meet people at least you can chat a little by telephone. Play games printed in English which require some knowledge of English Monopoly, Scrabble, Life, Dictionary, etc. Before starting, come up with a repertoire of basic commands for playing, and encourage the other players to speak only English. If you do like this no doubt you can improve your English speaking skill, what you want to do is keep on practicing.


2. Read English books like comics, magazine, entertainment

Comics are always full of idiomatic language and are very easy to understand, but some are very difficult to understand the jokes and dialogue. So try to choose comics carefully. Usually, serious or adventure comics are easier to understand than funny ones. Which one you feel more comfortable buys them and read. Magazines also useful to improve language and get knowledge. If you can read two versions of the same magazine, for example, Newsweek in your language and in English, that will help you to understand easily.


3. Read a translation into English

Choose a book that was originally translated into English, preferably from your own language. Even if you haven't read the book in your own language, you will find the English are written in a slightly simplified way that is more similar to how your own language is written than a book originally written in English would be. This will be easy for you to understand and learn that language.

4. Watch films in your language with English subtitles

If you find English films with English subtitles too difficult or you, watch films in your language. This is the best option to understand learn English. Local films with English subtitles can also help you to attain good English language.

5. Watch the same film or TV episode over and over again

You can learn the language without having to study it. Some comedies can also get funnier the more you watch them, especially if you watch them with no subtitles and so understand a little more each time you watch it

6.Learn and use the phonemic script

There are many sounds in English; if you learn phonetics you can understand these words. By learning the phonemic script you can improve your pronunciation and you will get the idea how to pronounce. It can also make things easier for you by stopping you trying to pronounce different spellings of the same pronunciation different ways.


7. Read a book with lots of dialogue

Dialogue is also much easier to understand than descriptive parts of a book and is much more like the language you will want to learn in order to be able to speak English.

The science of assessment

A skill is defined as the speed of accessing the subconscious memory to follow the instructions of the brain without any hindrance of the conscious brain to perform an activity is called a skill.                         There are two types of quotients that are crisp in a definition and separately measurable through basic gauges. One is the conscious brain and sends off the subconscious brain. IQ and EQ are quotients of the conscious brain.  The science of assessment lies in calibrating which quotients is you working on, to begin with. Knowledge sense or skill resides in totally different parts of the brain. Knowledge can only be tested through testing memory. Which schools do by taking exams. That's why kids are not functional human beings when they come out of school. Conscious Memory doesn't at all contribute to any skill. And mostly it's the skill part that...

What skills and training would any of you deem essential for a trainer? I.e. qualifications, skills, training for a trainer, certifications, etc. (Maybe we can derive a general common list out of this)?

My personal opinion is that a trainer should be   strong in practicing empathy and problem solving skills so that they can identify and understand the 'actual problem that's there' and have a 'solution that's relevant to the participants and their reality'. This has always dictated my homework/preparation and content development process and has helped me create engagement during the sessions too even when my public speaking skills are 'just average' and I've seen more certified trainers and excellent public speakers struggling with engagement or/and staying relevant.  Companies mostly don't invest much in post training anchoring of   behavior change that in my opinion impacts the long term results. And without that I personally believe that no training can bring a behavior change in the long term.  There's an excellent book called 'know can do' on this that I would say all trainers must read.
