Experience #1: Enhance vocabulary and grammar
Vocabulary and grammar are always the two most important knowledge areas in English. You cannot form a complete sentence if you lack vocabulary and do not know the grammar rules. Therefore, the first experience is to learn the two components that make up a complete sentence. You don't need to learn too much, every day you just need to learn an adequate amount of vocabulary and study a grammar topic. Gradually, you will have enough vocabulary and a solid grammar foundation to speak English fluently.

Experience #2: Focus on pronunciation
While learning vocabulary, you need to pay attention to the pronunciation of the words as well. Incorrect pronunciation not only affects communication efficiency but sometimes also puts you in difficult situations. Therefore, focus on and cultivate the habit of accurate pronunciation from the beginning, avoiding common mistakes made by Vietnamese learners when studying English.
Experience #3: Natural intonation
Pronunciation always goes hand in hand with intonation; if you do well in these two aspects, your speech is almost perfect. You need to pay attention to which parts need emphasis, the rise and fall of intonation, and how to pause between sentences. Clearly, no one wants to listen to a speech that has the same tone from start to finish, right? Therefore, pay attention to intonation when speaking English to make your speech interesting and captivating to the listener.

Experience #4: Watch a lot of English videos
The development of the internet makes it easy for you to find many English-language videos. You can choose videos on topics you like such as music, talk shows, speeches, etc., then listen to native speakers pronounce each word and emphasize the intonation in sentences. This not only helps you a lot in practicing English speaking but also expands your knowledge. Killing two birds with one stone, isn't it convenient?
Experience #5: Apply the Shadowing method thoroughly
Shadowing means you listen to an audio clip, then mimic exactly the pronunciation and intonation of native speakers. Combined with method #4, this is an extremely effective experience in practicing English speaking, proven by many learners. Persistently applying this method, you will gradually find your accent more natural and your English smoother!

Experience #6: Confidence, No Fear of Mistakes
Many individuals, when practicing English speaking, have a fear of making mistakes, feeling ashamed, and being hesitant, which greatly reduces their reflex speed. Some are overly obsessed with grammar when communicating. These are all bad habits that significantly hinder reflex speed. Therefore, the 'backbone' experience in practicing English speaking is to forget that feeling of fear and self-consciousness. You just need to communicate in English as naturally as possible, and gradually, you will speak English as fluently as a native speaker.
Experience #7: Persistence, Daily Practice
Persistence is the key to success in everything, and it is also the most important experience in practicing English speaking. You cannot excel in English without practicing every day. You can find a conversation partner to practice English with daily. If you want to practice speaking with native speakers, you can go to places with many Western tourists such as lakesides, tourist areas, churches, etc. Not only will you practice speaking English daily, but you will also make new friends. Isn't that wonderful?
