Speaking English fluently starts with lowering the fear of making mistakes, then adding speaking practice hours every day. Nervousness about speaking usually traces back to language anxiety and fear of judgment, while the ability itself is often already adequate. As a sense of safety grows and speaking practice becomes routine, fluency develops faster than most people expect.
