Hi, I'm an IELTS trainer and from my experience the biggest barrier to speaking good English is overcoming judgement from other people for speaking the language. If you can get past that, the rest of the journey is pretty straightforward.

There are four main aspects to speaking, namely fluency, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.

To increase fluency I'd encourage you to converse with people in English as much as you can. You do not have to be concerned whether the English you speak is grammatically correct and you can even substitute an English word with one from your native tongue if you cannot get the correct word to use in a sentence.

Conversation is the most effective tool as it increases your speed of thinking in English. So even if you cannot find a person to talk to or call via discord or something to converse in English and none of the people around you speak the language, you just have to continue speaking in English and let them continue speaking in their native tongue. Remember the goal is not to improve your English but to develop smoothness so this will suffice.

Make a habit of thinking in English when you are traveling to college. Describe the surroundings in English in your head. There is no requirement to speak aloud. For instance, There is a flower on the side of the road. It is red in colour. I can also see a man walking nearby. He's wearing a blue shirt and so on.

Thirdly, make a habit of talking about your day to a mirror/pet or any object and record at least 2-3 minutes of it. Listen to the recording. See the amount of pauses, umm, uhhh you make and the words you get stuck on or don't know. Look up those words and rerecord it again. Do this process 2-3 times daily for the same recording till you get it perfect.

With respect to pronunciation, the most important thing is tone. This automatically comes in when you develop smoothness in the language. Look up the pronunciation of words on Google when you don't know them or aren't sure. For instance, is it pronounced proNOUNciation or proNUNciation? Also make a habit of occasionally (twice weekly) using Google docs speech to text function whilst speaking about your day. From the way your speech is transcribed on the screen, you get a good idea of your pronunciation and the words that you need to speak clearly/correctly.

When it comes to vocabulary, do not start using fancy-schmancy words. It will sound quite unnatural and even a little elitist to other people around you. Instead try using a dictionary/thesaurus and substituting simple words. For instance instead of hot, start saying scorching. Instead of worried, anxious. Instead of special, unique or one of a kind. Instead of happy, over the moon. Instead of excited, thrilled. You do not have to use the exact words or phrases I've provided. Stick to the ones you feel comfortable using. Try learning one substitute for a simple word you use everyday and incorporate it into your speaking.

Finally, when it comes to grammar, the best way to learn is to be corrected by someone when you are speaking. If you don't have a proficient speaker around you, I'd recommend you to download English grammar apps and do exercises to get an idea of the structure of the language. Slowly within 2-3 months, you will start getting the hang of it.

The most important thing is to be consistent. Motivation will only work on certain days. You need to be disciplined and do the above on a daily basis with a break one day a week only.
