You must have read tonnes of tips and tricks to improve your English. People have written hundreds of pages of books about it. People are putting their kids in English medium schools, yet they complain about how their kids cannot communicate fluently in English.

Talking from personal experience, I was an average student; I was almost failing in maths, I barely passed in chemistry and physics, but I consistently scored well in English. I give credit to my English teacher not only to her but to all the English movies I watched. Both of them helped me work on my English communication skills, and here I am writing content in ENGLISH.

Not to waste any more of your time, the first trick I used to learn English is to watch English movies and series, with subtitles, of course. Initially, it was difficult for me to understand the words without the subtitles. Words would not fall on my ears. They were like random sounds, and slowly I got familiar with those sounds reinforced with subtitles. I started learning phrases and sentences. Later I started understanding them, and subtitles started distracting me, so I turned them off; sometimes, I used to miss what the character in the movie said so I would go back, turn on the subtitles, watch it, then turn them off again, and move forward.

Secondly, I started thinking in English. This might sound stupid, but this is the strongest potent. When we think in another language (our mother tongue) and then try to speak in another language, we often get stammered because it takes time for us to translate the message to and from the brain to our mouth. Try to think in English. No matter what, it can be all your random thoughts, daily routine, your plans, bitching about someone literally anything, you just need to think in English.

Lastly, Read in English, I know I know you might say that this is the most common trick the first step to learning English is reading it, how can it be uncommon? Reading is not everyone’s cup of tea. Not everyone enjoys reading, and I’m not telling you to read long novels or something instead what we can do is read things that are not boring to us. Like the lyrics of an English song you like, the terms and conditions behind a brochure, or even a recipe would work. You have to read at least 100–200 words in English daily.

Practice all these tricks for a month, and I bet you will be fluent in English communication.
