Finding confidence to speak in English can help you to not only improve your Spoken English in many ways, it can also reduce the number of mistakes you make.
If you show that you are scared of others and worry about how others perceive (see) you, and if you always worry about what is being said after you walk away from a conversation, then you are always going to have a hard time talking with others about anything. Change your attitude about conversation and what others might think, and concentrate instead on the process of conversation which is words, thoughts, feelings, ideas and knowledge.
It is impossible to please all the people all the time. Remember that we all have a right to express ourselves about all topics. Each of us has a different idea and, right or wrong, if we don’t express those ideas, we can’t grow as people. Our ideas or experiences about any given topic need to be shared.
Greeting people confidently with a smile and looking them in the eye is a sure way of encouraging people to converse. By acting with confidence you will gain more confidence, and at the same time you will help others to relax also.

The art of conversation is a learned skill. Happy, successful people are generally good conversationalists. By developing the ability to effectively express yourself in any given situation, you will find that your life will take on new meaning as you share your feelings, ideas, thoughts and knowledge. You can learn how to project an image of yourself as a confident, friendly, and informed person.
