Approach to Learn to Speak English
Speaking is a skill — train it daily with short real-life sentences, repetition, and confidence.
✅ Speak daily (5–10 min)
✅ Listen → Copy → Repeat → Speak
✅ Fluency first, grammar later
✅ Use construction English
Rule: No speaking = no improvement. Broken English is OK. Speak first, correct later.
🎧
Input
Listen to short English (5–10 sec clips).
🗣️
Output
Repeat + speak every day (even 5 minutes).
🏗️
Real life
Use sentences from your job (site, workers, schedule).
🔁
Repetition
3 useful sentences/day → repeat all day.
1 Speak Every Day (Even 5 Minutes)
Speaking is like driving: you improve only by doing it.
- Speak small sentences.
- Don’t wait to be perfect.
- Consistency beats long study.
Daily mini-sentences:
- “Today I go to site.”
- “My worker is late.”
- “I need to check concrete.”
2 Learn Like a Child (Basic → Repeat → Use)
Children learn by hearing, copying, and using words every day.
Best pattern: Listen → Copy → Repeat → Speak
- Short is better than long.
- Repeat the same sentence many times.
3 Use Real-Life Sentences (Construction English)
Don’t learn random vocabulary. Learn what you use on site.
Useful words: concrete, rebar, column, beam, slab, cover, stirrup, schedule, payment, delay, quality
Practice sentences:
- “The concrete is not strong.”
- “We need more workers.”
- “The steel bar is missing.”
4 Shadowing Method (Pronunciation + Fluency)
Shadowing = repeat immediately after a native speaker.
- Choose a 5–10 second clip.
- Play → pause → repeat exactly.
- Repeat 10 times.
Trains: accent, rhythm, speed, confidence
5 Learn 3 Useful Sentences per Day
Not 50 words. Only 3 sentences — but repeat them all day.
Example (Day 1):
- “I will check the site today.”
- “Please send me the updated drawing.”
- “We must finish this work before Friday.”
6 Speak to Yourself (Self-Talk)
Self-talk makes English automatic. Talk while you walk, drive, or work.
Self-talk examples:
- “Now I am going to the site.”
- “I will check the rebar.”
- “This beam is not straight.”
7 Don’t Translate Too Much
If you always translate Khmer → English, you will be slow. Memorize common phrases directly.
Useful phrases:
- “I’m not sure.”
- “Let’s do it tomorrow.”
- “We need to fix this.”
8 Focus on Fluency First, Grammar Later
Mistakes are normal. Fluency comes first. Accuracy comes later.
Rule: Speak first, correct later.
9 Simple Daily Speaking Routine
- Morning (5 min): say your plan (meeting, site, tasks).
- During work (5 min): say objects/actions (rebar, pour, check).
- Night (10 min): tell a story about today + tomorrow.
10 Practice With Roleplay (Fastest Improvement)
Roleplay helps you speak naturally in real situations.
Roleplay ideas:
- Site Engineer → talking to workers
- Contractor → talking to client
- Negotiating VO rate
- Reporting delay + solution
Daily 30-Min Formula
If you want fast improvement:
- ✅ Listen 10 min
- ✅ Repeat 10 min
- ✅ Speak 10 min
Tip: Do this every day. Even 30 minutes/day is powerful.
