It’s never been easier to practice speaking English from home! Firstly, you can try finding a partner to talk to over video chat through a language exchange app or website. Here’s our picks for ten of the best platforms. Secondly, there are several apps that use AI technology to turn your phone into a robotic conversation partner. Andy, Mondly and Elsa are some of the market leaders. Thirdly, you can try talking to yourself! As silly as it sounds, narrating your actions whilst you go about your daily life - “I am making a cup of tea, I am sitting down” - can help you get faster at forming English sentences. Fourthly, the most effective tip of all: find an online tutor for 1-on-1 classes over video chat. Even an hour’s dedicated practice with a fluent speaker per week will have a dramatic effect on your speaking abilities.
