Undoubtedly,to speak to native English speskers or friends is a good way to improve English speaking ability.
There is also a useful way to practice our English speaking.
When I read my English textbooks, newspapers, or magzines, I usually read them out.
By this way, I can practice to pronounce English beautifully, and I can familiar with English pronounciation.
After I get used to it, I find that I can speak English more fluent than before.
It makes me feel more confident so that I overcome the stage fright at last.
I think that self-confidence is important when speaking English because it will not make you blank in your head!
This method is helpful to me, so I hope that it can help you, too.

Hi Kathy,

Will these help you?

I usually read them out LOUD.

IN this way, I can practice pronunciation beautifully or I can practice pronouncing English beautifully....

I can BE or GET familiar...

After I GOT used to doing this, I found that I could speak English more fluentLY

It MADE me .....I overCAME (no "the") stage fright at last.

It will keep you from GOING BLANK (you don't need IN THE HEAD here)...

If you don't mind sharing, what is your native language. I almost felt like I was reading another language I know.

I hope you won't be upset with these corrections. I always appreciate it when someone tweaks my writing in another language. I can always be corrected as well.

What is your native language? I'd be curious to see your hints in your first language.

1. Review the suggestions by native speakers already available in the previous pages.

2. Listen to the music of English. I don't mean songs in English, I mean HOW the language is spoken. Are you trying "to sing" English using your native language?

3. Listen to pitch and where the words melt into each other.

4. Listen carefully to vowels. English is rich in them.

5. Try to use what you know. If you are in class and hear a phrase, ask your teacher to repeat it and try to imagine using it in real life...THEN do it, use the phrase with a native speaker.

6. Join a singing group of English speakers in your country. If you live in Tokyo or Paris, you should be able to find such a group. Contact an English-speaking church to see if various groups meet there (for example, ESL, boy scouts, gospel choir, classical music/traditional choir, seasonal choir (i.e Messiah by Handel)...If you have children perhaps you could get them in an international boy scout or girl scout group.)

7. Volunteer. Offer to exchange your language for English with a foreigner.

8. Find out where English speakers gather and try to share your hobbies.

9. Try to speak correctly all the time. Yes, it's okay to make mistakes, but ask for feedback ("Did it say that right?")

10. This is what works for me and it works for students too.

1. First listen to the phrase. No speaking.
2. Listen and silently move your lips the second time.
3. Say it aloud the third time.
4. (optional) Say it at the same time as the native speaker.

K.T, such an excercise gets boring in a trice. There is no better way other than spending a considerable amount of time in a native country.
