Struggling with English at Work? How Can I Improve My Communication Skills?

Hi,

I studied in Tamil medium only. In my previous job, all the employees spoke in Tamil only. Currently, I am working in the IT field where all the employees speak in English.

Please help me improve my communication skills, both written and oral.

Regards,

Hi,

Try reading the newspapers and other publications; it will help you learn how sentences are generally constructed. Use a dictionary to identify new words, meanings, and pronunciation. Buy "Wren and Martin"; it's an excellent book on grammar. Identify a friend or a close colleague who won't make fun of you and has great English; speak with them in English only, and ask them to correct you when you are wrong. All the best. Don't worry; you will learn it! 😄

Hi,

You can attend a communication class to clarify all your doubts in grammar. You should read "The Hindu" newspaper and watch English channels like CNBC, NDTV, etc. You have to speak in English with your friends.

Hi,

Are you working in a company or are you studying? No matter. Please read an English newspaper and watch English channels.

Hi Suresh,

If you want to improve your fluency in English speaking, then read any interesting topic which you like from a newspaper or magazine itself and read that one loudly. Do that thing at least for a week to see the difference you have. You will gain some confidence as well. If you require some data on grammar articles, then email me at "mannupauri@yahoo.com". You can also watch some good channels like National Geographic, ESPN, CNBC, etc., and speak with them. I know you may face some difficulty in doing so, but the time will come when you will reach a comfortable level.

Hi, check this out...

1. Read newspapers.
2. Read English story books.
3. Watch English news channels.
4. Listen to English commentators.
5. Watch English movies.
6. Avoid reading articles like Archies or other comics that are in American English.
7. Talk to yourself in front of the mirror.
8. Look into your eyes and then speak (it increases self-confidence).

Carry on with these practices for six months continuously and then feel the difference. Try these to achieve success.
