Toastmasters International - http://www.toastmasters.org/\n\nI heard about them for years, and often would people reccommend them to me. I had lots of excuses: "I'm an instructor! I talk in front of poeple all day!" "I am too tired when I get off work to add something else" "I took Speech class in school"\n\nWhen I finally got around to going I was amazed - it worked! A few tips -\n* Try different clubs as a visitor until you find one that fits. Each club is run by the members - which means that each club is a little different.\n* Once you join, make a committment to stay at least long enough to finish the first book. It will help you work through the rough spots. Because Toasmasters is ongoing, there is no "end" like there would be with a class.\n* Toastmasters really helps you work through your specific issues whatever they are. The variety in my club is not unusual: IT guys, non-native speakers, trainer/instructors, retired, unemployed, FT employed, student...etc. Everyone starts from thier own place.

I believe your asking for online resources to help you improve speaking and possibly writing?\n\nMake sure the lessons and helpers are free (no charge). If you are in United States, local library is great source to get material.  They have tutors who work with people of all ages that teach English as a Second Language.\n\nIf you use  http://www.ask.com  and put in English as second language it should provide a number of good sources.\n\nFinding someone online willing to chat and help you improve in simple phrases is good.  Watching dvds in english can get you use to conversation too.

PRACTICE.\n\nI recommend doing a mock presentation and making sure you have everything down exactly as you want it, including timing, eye contact, etc.\n\nAlso if you want a long term improvement, you should join ToastMasters, an organization that will help you in this department. Try: http://www.toastmasters.org/

I'd recommend getting a book and its corresponding "book on tape."  Follow along in the book as the narrator reads on the tape.\nYou should pick up the proper way to speak and write English in no time.

Hi there, \nMy mom is using a software that is called Talk Now! English.  She says the programs included in this package are really helpful and entertaining.  She's learned a lot. Of course, she also has books on tapes, and I make her practice her English with me.

If you get some counselling things will work out easier for you. Otherwise you know your problem. So you can take some simple steps to boost your self esteem . \n\n1. Join a class to hone your social skills.\n\n2. Know what you are good at and get a hobby. Practice your\n    skills\n\n3. Update yourself on happenings around you. Read the papers\n    and watch the news.Keep abrest of happenings in music, \n    movies and fashion (common topics of conversation ) know\n     atleast whether the Sensex is up or down.\n\n3.  With other people till the time you master conversation skills\n     learn to be a good listener. Pay attention to what the next \n      person is saying and keep eye contact. A good listener is \n     much more popular than a good speaker.\n\n4. When you wake up every morning tell yourself that you are  \n   going to do atleast five things right during the day. At the end of \n   the day take your diary and note down what went right and \n   where you went wrong. Remember your weak points and keep\n   working on then for betterment\n\n\n5.  Good luck

They have test practice books out there on the market.  Invest in one.  As for confidence, you have to find that within yourself.  Maybe this just isn't the right career choice for you.  If you're positive it is, then the confidence will come when the time is right.  It's also what Basic Training is for.  Good luck!!

As I said today to another Asker, the following:\n\nI have improved (in my view) English by following steps:\n\n1. Read daily English language Newspapers as a habit and enjoyed reading each and every page from Top to Bottom (in those days when TV was just showing presence in B/W format).\n\n2. Watching English movies and then TV News in English. By the way, BBC Radio (later on BBC World and CNN) helped me a lot while listening to then news of war of liberation in Bangladesh.\n\n3. Having English as medium of instruction and communication in my days in Pak-Swiss Training Centre, Karachi from 1970-1973. PS. I am not sure if the same is continuing now as I can see the present graduates of PSTC are lacking in English.\n\n4. Have a lot of business or friend-circle people whom you can talk / negotiate / chat / SMS / e-mail etc., in English.\n\nHappy English learning!!

Actually, I think reading books and even watching television can be very helpful. Also, go out and socialize in a group setting with people who speak English with proper grammar. While having a conversation you will hear how they set up their sentences and will easily pick up the essential rules needed in English.

I am confused whether you want to improve your english speaking skills or hindi speaking skills. Going from your post, your written english seems good. To practise speaking any language, the only way is just start speaking in it, without feeling shy of making mistakes. No other way. See lot of movies, tv serials, radio and tv news broadcasts. Befriend people who speak these languages and keep listening to their conversations and start speaking with them. This is the best way to learn. Do not waste your money in any coaching centre or online tutorial. all the best

reading improves vocabulary and spelling. do a lot of reading. also, practice is the biggest isue in terms of confidence. talking in front of crowds  helps you gain confidence and makes it easier each time you speak.

Get into the habit of reading books loud, this will help you increase the pronunciation and vocabulary skill.\nPractice in front of mirror, \nJust put your mind at ease, your main aim is communication, so try to say what you are thinking.\nUse short sentences, simple words and good pauses. \nYou will do fine
