Improving your speaking

To improve the way you speak you should practise as much as possible but we can't count on native speakers to work with so try to do it with your mates, friends and so on. The other way is to practise on your own; in that case use a recorder and speak for at least 3 minutes about the topic. Once you've finished, listen to what you've just done and then correct your performance by yourself: entonation, speed, blanks, vocabuary, structures, richeness and variety and so on.
