Dear Shashikant,
All the above suggestions are very good. Follow them scrupulously. One more thing I would suggest to you is to become a child in learning any new thing. A child is new to the world. He tries and knows the world. He/she is not bothered by who laughs at him/her when he/she commits a mistake. The child is also not shy when his/her ignorance is revealed. See how you picked up your own mother tongue or how any child picks up one's own mother tongue. Whatever your present age, become a child for learning English conversations.

Hi there,
First of all, I would like to say that it doesn't matter from which medium you have done your study. All that matters is confidence in speaking any language.
I am also from a Hindi medium, and still, I can speak good English. I deliver my sessions in corporates as well. I have worked with IBM as a team leader, and these days I am teaching English medium students. Along with that, I am working as a motivational trainer as well.
As Mr. Shyam Agarwal has written, for learning anything, you should become like a child, which is absolutely right. For the first one and a half years, a child just listens to people and what they say. In the same way, first, you listen to this language, then try to speak broken English. After that, try to read more books and finally work on your writing skills.
I also run my own speaking English course and have prepared my study material for basic English learning. If you are interested, please email me at aakash2517@gmail.com, and I will send you the material.
First of all, be confident that you are a good writer of English. This means that you already know English very well, but speaking may be a problem for you because you have lost your confidence.
Thank you.

Dear Additya,
Many people are facing this problem, but I feel in your case the issue may be hesitation or fear of being laughed at.
1. The first thing you need to do is come out of your hesitation or fear.
2. Read stories or news that you like. For example, if you are interested in films or celebrities, then read only page 3. Even one newspaper is enough for a week, but make sure you enjoy reading thoroughly. You should not get bored with it; otherwise, you will lose interest.
3. While reading, try to read it loudly and with expression. The reason behind this is that it will help you to express yourself. Because many times, we are good at reading, but when it comes to expressing ourselves, it sounds like we are reading a book.
4. Confidence plays an important role in this case. Even if you could not recall the word you want to express, your confidence level will help you to explain things differently to get through the situation.

Hey, there are so many ways to improve your English. Start reading newspapers, books, and don't just read it but use the dictionary. Try to note down the meanings of difficult words and then use those words in your statements. You don't have to use tough words right from the beginning; use simple and common words. Also, try to talk to yourself in English; that's the best way to get rid of your problem. And most importantly, don't try to run away from the situation like this.

Hi Friend,
I too was from a Hindi medium (Read and Write) until STD VI. I developed my communication skills by always speaking in English with others, reading newspapers, watching English news, and watching lots of English movies without subtitles. If you make any mistakes in communication, try to identify the mistake and correct it yourself by listening to the correct version through any form of media. Make sure not to repeat the same mistake in the future. Good luck. I will be expecting a post in the near future that shows you excel in English.

Dear all,
It's really interesting and motivating to know about so many suggestions to improve oneself. But I feel that the first thing which is most important to get rid of is your EVALUATION APPREHENSION, i.e., to stop worrying about what others are thinking about you. When you are not confident in your English skills, you may be very concerned about others' opinions, which can lead to more mistakes and increased self-consciousness. Be confident.
Remember, RIGHT PRACTICE MAKES A MAN PERFECT.
GOOD LUCK!!!

Not a big problem. The four skills, i.e., reading, writing, listening, and speaking, are complementary. They help in each other's improvement. You have a multinational atmosphere. Get involved in it. Follow certain tips:
1. Make English your thinking language.
2. Do not hesitate to speak in English with anyone.
3. Do not translate; let it come automatically.
4. Make English your language of communication. Talk to everyone in English.
5. Read something in English every day. Read aloud.
6. Brush up on your English grammar.
7. Memorize some idioms and phrases. They will add spice to your conversations.
8. Once you start speaking English properly, do not stop.

Good afternoon,
All answers are important. I find the answer of ACT very informative, especially when complemented by the answer of amot 84. For me, reading aloud and thinking in a foreign language are very important. I have also noticed that searching for something (eBay, courses, patterns, etc.) that you truly desire obliges you to find the right words and understand what you read, thus helping you learn new words. This process can make you "specialized" in a particular subject. You acquire knowledge of words that others do not use, which can boost your self-confidence.
