5 Helpful Ideas To Build Your Fluency In English:

Learn to welcome discomfort! Stepping out of your comfort zone is the key to improving your speaking skills. If you want to reach a higher speaking score on the CELPIP, start taking more conversational risks with English-speakers. That might mean starting the conversation yourself! It might help to come up with a few conversation starter questions before to get the ball rolling.
Change how you practice: Don't forget the power of practicing with your cell phone to record your responses, and then listen back to them. Think: what did I do well? What is one thing I can improve? Repeat.
Remember: there are no short-cuts to fluency! Focus on building and following daily habits for improving your English.
Being proactive in conversations is crucial. Don't wait for opportunities to come to you, create them by initiating discussions with others.
Focus on using new vocabulary words, not memorizing them. The more you use new words, the more your vocabulary will grow.
