    You are doing it wrong...you have to speak to improve..what you are doing now is like learning to swim by reading a book....speak with yourself in English,think in English,try to speak with someone as much as you can...

    Here is the thing machan don't be afraid to fail. when it comes to the speaking it's not a language issue, it's a lack of communication skill. So first of all build your personality. that can raise you to the good speaker. Don't just try to remember each and every word in dic. That's not gonna work. watch english movies with subs, try understand the accent. Until you start believe in yourself You ain't gonna have life.. Cheers mate.:frown: :frown:

    machan trust what on what you have already earned. don't fear to make mistakes. you have to speak to yourself. remembering each and every word doesn't do anything good for you. learn words from what you see, what you hear. listen to news,songs, films. believe me, i was also like you. but talking to me worked well.
    all the best machan

    don't worry mate,it's out second language so we are not proficient like native speakers.
    if you are near to a British council you can go their speaking sessions, like Rs150 or so per day
    you can join toastmasters too
    watch tv series and films with out subtiles(mabe get some help from English subtitles),using Sinhala subtitles will never help
    try to speak with friends in English.If you have tamil friends who don't use Sinhala it will be ideal, coz you'll always have to speak in English :D
