1. Speak a Little Every Day—Even to Yourself
Daily practice is key. Talk about your day in English—even if you’re just speaking to the mirror. Describe what you cooked, how your day went, or what you plan to do tomorrow.
Simple Tip: Use both English and Tamil/Hindi in the beginning, then slowly switch to only English.
2. Learn Phrases You’ll Actually Use
Instead of memorizing long grammar rules, learn short phrases you can use at work:
- “Can we discuss this further?”
- “Here’s what I suggest…”
- “Let me get back to you on that.”
At Shruti Kamakshi, we teach workplace-ready phrases you’ll hear in real interviews and meetings.
3. Speak Clearly, Not Fast
You don’t need to sound like a foreigner—you just need to be clear. Focus on pronouncing words slowly and correctly.
Real Insight: Over 70% of our adult students say unclear pronunciation was their biggest block before they started with us.
4. Learn Basic Grammar in a Simple Way
You don’t need perfect grammar to speak well—but you do need the basics. We simplify grammar into real-life use cases.
Example: Learn when to say “I did” vs. “I have done.”
Our grammar-first method helps adults form better sentences right from the start.
5. Watch and Imitate—Don’t Just Watch
Pick a show you enjoy. Pause a sentence, repeat it aloud, and copy the speaker’s tone. This builds fluency naturally.
Did you know? A Cambridge study found that copying TV dialogues daily helped adults speak 40% more fluently in 2 months.
6. Speak With Others—Even Online
Join group discussions or online speaking clubs. At Shruti Kamakshi, we have regular conversation sessions where students from Chennai to Singapore speak in a safe, friendly space.
7. Prepare Cheat Sheets for Common Scenarios
Write down how you’d introduce yourself, explain your work, or answer common interview questions. Memorize and practice these daily.
Examples:
- “I’m currently working as a…”
- “My experience includes…”
These templates are part of our lesson kits.
8. Record Yourself and Improve Each Time
Use your phone to record yourself. Talk for 2–3 minutes, listen back, and note what needs fixing. You’ll quickly become aware of your improvement areas.
9. Human Guidance Beats Any App
Apps are good, but they won’t correct your mistakes or guide you with Tamil-English explanations. Our one-on-one sessions are interactive and based on your pace and goals.
10. Start Thinking in English
Start small: “What time is it?”, “I should call him now.” As this becomes a habit, you’ll stop translating in your head and speak more fluently.
We use picture prompts, story-making, and flashcards to help students move from thinking in Tamil or Hindi to English.
