How to learn spoken English effectively?

I am very afraid to speak English, because I am scared of saying it wrong, and I am not confident. Could you give me some suggestions?

Thanks.

I am 53 years old and have spoken English all my life and it is adequate for my purposes. I do not try to speak perfectly because that is impossible. Perfection is subjective and therefore changes depending upon the observer. There are some that will say that I am talking nonsense but essentially I believe achieving a level of understanding relevant to where you are and what you need is an adequate objective. I have been surprised by many of the people I have spoken to because we have established a dialog with what words they know.

The reason why we are afraid of making mistakes is because we have expectations towards ourselves. No one can speak perfectly, would you say that you are a perfect speaker in your language~? The more we learn from mistakes, the better we can be. 加油

This is right on the nose. I make mistakes but unlike you I am not ashamed or afraid because they are opportunities to learn providing they are assessed correctly. Instead of, "Oh my God I am such a stupid person, I will never understand this!" My thoughts are, "well that was a little wrong, so where did I mess up, ah right I meant to say this or that, no problem I will just fix it."

Do not try to imitate anyone. I believe your objective ought to be to speak clearly and meaningfully. I know you have a beautiful voice and accent and you do not need to lose that to speak good clear English. If Jackie Chan spoke with an English voice and accent then I probably would not enjoy his movies so much.

Watch movies with Chinese subtitles and English audio but do not try to grab onto every word. Get used to the sound we make and eventually you will notice the words we repeat, some words will become clearer to you. In my country I am surrounded by my language and in your country your language is prominent so you need to artificially create an environment where English has some impact.

Worry, stress, fear, insecurity, are all emotions that we impose upon ourselves and they serve no useful purpose when we wish to learn, in fact they undermine our efforts. We need a safe environment among supportive friends, or alone where we can speak, listen, focus, without fear of ridicule.

Relax, have fun, stop worrying about the destination and focus on the process of learning and recognize your achievements. Focus on one aspect, "today I will understand verbs, what are they, what purpose do they serve, and create sentences using them." Become familiar and then proceed to another topic.

Hey Lucy! You have to stope being scared [emoji] Tip 1. Do you have a Couchserfing community in your town? If yes just try to attend one of the meetings. In Moscow it always was a lot of fun and pleasure. People are drinking, having fun, you are relaxed. Tip 2. Try to speak NOT with native speakers, find a partner on italki to practice English who is not a native speaker. This person will make mistakes also. Tip 3. Take English class with native speaker (or not). And try several persons. Then you will be sure that they understand you. You will be more relaxed while speaking in real life. I wish you all the best with your English learning. Take care! [emoji][emoji][emoji]
