Even if you make mistakes, donβt switch to your native language. The goal is fluency, not perfection!

If you translate from Hindi or another language, youβll always hesitate. So train your mind to think in English.
For example:
Instead of thinking βMujhe pani chahiyeβ, think βI need water.β
This mental switch will slowly make your spoken English practice effortless.
Step 5οΈβ£: Record and Listen to Yourself π€
Use your phone to record short English audios β like self-introductions or stories. Then listen carefully to notice pronunciation or grammar mistakes.
