Where can you find people to speak English? And how can you practise speaking when you are alone?

　　At school　If you pay to go to a language school, you should use the chance to speak. If your teacher asks you to speak in pairs or groups with other students, try to say as much as possible. Don’t worry about your mistakes. Just speak!

　　Conversation Clubs　Many cities around the world have conversation clubs where people can exchange one language for another. Look in your local newspaper to find a conversation club near you. They are usually free although some may charge a small entrance fee.

　　Shopping　Even if you don’t want to buy anything, you can ask questions about products that interest you in a shop. “How much does this cost?” “Can I pay by cheque?” Often you can start a real conversation—and it costs you nothing!

　　Cafes and Bars　There are often American, Britain, Irish and Australian cafes and bars in many large cities. If you can find one, you’ll probably meet many people speaking English as a first or second language.

　　Language is all around you　Everywhere you go, you find language. Shop names, street names, advertisements, notices, and car numbers. . . . When you walk down the street, practise reading the words and numbers that you see. Say them to yourself. It’s not exactly a conversation, but it will help you to “think” in English. But don’t speak too loud!
