If
you want to speak Russian, you'll have to actually do a lot of
speaking. No matter how much you read in Russian or listen to Russian
radio, you won't learn to speak the language fluently if you never
open your mouth.
But
don't stop there. Speak – and record yourself! You can easily make
videos for YouTube and get useful feedback and encouragement there.
Other reasons for recording yourself?
“-Forcing yourself to output something and getting used to pronouncing the words
-Burning the words of your video into your memory forever, since you’ll know them really well thanks to the preparation, especially as I describe it below
-Giving yourself a project to work towards with a deadline, forcing you to improve by that time”
-Benny Lewis.

I liked how you said: "No matter how much you read in Russian or listen to Russian radio, you won't learn to speak the language fluently if you never open your mouth." - that is so true, cause is the same with english...
ReplyDeleteYeah, there is no way you're gonna learn speaking without actually speaking. Just like swimming - only in the water :)
DeleteHappy holidays!
