3 golden rules for effective communication
Here are some easy tips to do it on your own:
1. Improve pronunciation and diction There are a few tricks to making a vernacular accent more globally understandable. ~ Try making sure that 'air' comes out of your mouth when saying the letters, 'T, P, K' and the sound 'Ch'. ~ Focus on elongating your vowel sounds. This will also automatically slow down your rate of speech. ~ Sing English songs out loud! ~ Watch news shows on channels like CNN and BBC. ~~ I would also suggest buying books on pronunciation and language that come with audio cassettes. A good book that I found really useful was Better English Pronunciation by J D O'Connor. It is part of the Cambridge series, and some of those books come with cassettes. 2. Spruce up your writing skills ~ Believe it or not, you have to Read More! ~ Well-written magazines, like The Economist and India Today, are great to read not only to improve language skills but also to learn more about the world. ~ In terms of books, read what interests you. The basic goal is to read as much as you can. There are a plethora of good authors who are popular today. Some good writers whose language is easy to follow include Vikram Seth, Jhumpa Lahiri, Paulo Coelho, J D Salinger, Albert Camus and Roald Dahl. ~ People tend to forget basic grammar when writing e-mails. An e-mail is nothing more than a letter which is sent electronically. Make sure salutations and content are professional. Use special phrases when attaching documents. For example, "Please find attached with this e-mail a report on..." This helps you sound professional. 3. Five exercises to practise every day! i. Pretend you are a newscaster and read out the newspaper to your mirror. ii. Do not read local newspapers. Focus on national newspapers. iii. While reading a book, underline all the words you do not know. Look them up in the dictionary. iv. Make a list of these words, and make sure you use at least five of them in a conversation during the day. v. Most important, make an effort to speak in English to your friends and family.
