Most job roles and industries require public speaking to engage and communicate with team members and audiences. While public speaking can be stressful, this skill set makes you a more competent and appealing employee. Understanding the importance of public speaking can help you create strategies to improve your skills and help ensure you become an effective communicator in the workplace.
Try to describe what you are doing out loud to remember daily actions quickly. Voicing what you think will also help you when you are actually trying to articulate your thoughts to someone else.
7. Listen to recordings and repeat.
Saying words out loud while comparing yourself to a native speaker is the best way to improve your pronunciation.
8. Prepare for daily routine situations.
9. Try to practice your speaking with a native speaker.

10. Know your audience.
This is especially important for languages like Japanese, Korean etc. where the register changes dramatically depending on who you are talking to.
11. Ask for feedback and reflect on it.
If you try our Premium Plus membership a remote teacher will be ready to give you honest and constructive feedback.
12. Avoid reading directly, try to use an outline.
13. Shadow language CDs, then repeat what you heard.
14. Keep practicing regularly, otherwise your hard work will be wasted.
Practice, practice, practice! Your knowledge will move from short to long-term memory.
