1)    Find an English speaking club in your city.  If there is no English club in your city-organize it yourself.

2)    Try to find a speaking partner on one of these web-sites:

3) Missionaries from English speaking countries. 


There are many churches in the USA and other English speaking countries.  Some of them send missions to other countries. Often they organize "English speaking clubs" at these missions in order to attract new people to their churches.  You may go to the speaking clubs but not go to the church( or go to the church if you like it)


4) Employing a teacher:  If you have time and money, you may  hire( employ) a teacher and speak with him/her

5) Moving to an English speaking country.  Some people who I know have moved to the USA or the U.K. and now they have more opportunities for practicing English every day.   Other countries good for Engish practice are: Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. 

If none of these options is availible for you, you may try "self speaking practice" 


Self-speaking  practice.
1)    Imagine an American ( or a British person) and tell him about yourself,  your family, your friends, your work, your city, your country, what you like to do and what you don’t like to  do…
2)    Speak about past events: speak about what happened to you today, yesterday, on the last weekend… If you have just come back from vacation or a trip, tell about  how you spent time there.
3)    Speak about movies that you watched in your native language or in English.. If you watched an interesting movie yesterday evening-retell about this movie in English.
4)    Speak about the books, or interesting articles that you already read in your native language or in English. 
5)    When you watch a movie in your native language or in English, you may make a pause after every scene and tell what you have just watched.  

Self speaking practice-2. Retelling technique.

This technique can be used when we are watching a movie or readind a book.  After watching a part of movie(5-10-15 minutes),  or reading 1-2 pages we can stop and retell what we have just watched/read. It's a little bit boring but powerful method because we always have what to speak about.
