Why we feel hesitation in English speaking?

 

As many of us think, the reason for not being able to speak English fluently is not because one does not have enough English vocabulary. That is, not knowing a lot of words in English is not a barrier to speaking English. By knowing some basic vocabulary, you can carry out flawless simple English conversation.

 

The reasons for stuttering while speaking English are mostly psychological. They can be listed as follows.

 

Aversion to new things: Even though we have learned English from a young age, speaking English is something new for us. Speaking English is a new thing for us who are used to speaking our mother tongue every day. Reluctance to start new things is the number one factor that causes difficulty in speaking English.

Convenience Accustomed Mindset: It is convenient to speak in mother tongue or in a familiar language that we speak every day. The human mind is always habituated to convenience and has a tendency to follow the same. The mind is reluctant to deal with things outside the boundaries of this facility.

Building confidence is important 

Confidence is important: It is essential to get rid of hesitation, nervousness and fear caused by other reasons related to speaking English. First of all we should sincerely believe that if we can convey something in our mother tongue then we can convey it in English as well. Next, we often think about the benefits of speaking English.

Confidence in being able to speak English and thinking about the benefits of speaking English can go a long way in removing hesitations and mental barriers about speaking English. Well, we have overcome these hesitations, we have developed self-confidence, and can we speak English only through these? There are some exercises for that

Mirror practice: Successful orators, political commentators, and many other public speakers routinely practice speaking to themselves while standing in front of a mirror. This method can help a lot in speaking English.

Video Recording Practice: Next, video yourself speaking in English. By listening back to what you've said, you'll know what you're doing wrong, where you're stumbling, and it can help you fix those problems.

Subtitle Training: Today the trend of watching international movies and web series on OTT has increased. We watch works in other languages, including English, with English subtitles. Tamil movies are also available with subtitles. Watch with subtitles even though we know the language. After watching the sentences in English subtitles paused the video and try saying the English line aloud. It also helps in speaking fluently in English.
