Just communicate in English like you are a fluent one and from that you will slowly gain the confidence as it trains you to get better every time you speak English. 

2. Enhance the vocabulary 

Do we have confidence to communicate in this language if  we are lack of vocabulary? Of course no as vocabulary is one of the crucial thing that we must master in learning English. We use vocabulary when we want to speak something in order to keep the conversations run smooth without any distractions and maintain our confidence level. So, you must have a lot of vocabulary and practice them daily when communicate in English to make you get used to the new words.

5. Get a conversation partner

This is also important for you in order to practice speaking in English as it helps you to improve your communication as it is a two way communication if you have a partner. However, you can still practice by your own by practicing to speak English in front of your relatives or in front of mirror. These may be helpful to overcome your nervousness when communicate with other people.

6. Do not too nervous to speak English

 Nervous is something that is really hard to avoid as it comes naturally when we are doing something that we are not too confident or do not really get used to it. But, when speaking English you must control it to avoid from influencing the whole part of your speech or conversation. Try to pronounce word by word and it will be fine as long as people can understand you.

7. Read a lot of books and listen to radio or watch TV in English

Read books? Listen to radio? Watch TV? Come on guys these are among of the interesting things that we always do everyday right? How about changing all the habits of listening to Korean songs, watching Korean dramas or movies and read Malay novels into English one? From that, you will become get used with their way communicating to each other and the way they arrange the sentences into a proper one to be confident to speak.

8. Have a good attitude in learning English

Actually it is not only when learning English but in all subjects, we must have good attitudes but now we are talking about how to be confident to speak English so we must always think that English is something that really close to us as we had learn it since we are child. So, do not think it as another subject that requires to remember all those facts and formulas or saying that  English is very difficult one. It is absolutely wrong!

9. Start with the base

 Learning process starts from the basic one and after mastering the basic, we can move on to the tougher one to enhance our knowledge in English language. From the base you slowly built day by day until you are able to write and speak English perfectly as at that time you already have a strong "root" to make the "tree" stand still.

10. Have patience and take your time

Do not rush and just take it easy. If we just only learn it once or twice and hoping to acquire it in a short time, it may be learning something else and of course not English guys! In order to learn English, you must have patience and do not easily give up as it needs a lot of practices.

The most important thing in learning is of course to practice it frequently and we also knew that practice makes perfect right? So, do enjoy yourself learning English because ENGLISH IS FUN !
