Hello Shashi,
Don't worry about your problem, yaar. I also faced the same issue during my college days because I am from a Tamil medium background. Later, I realized that I had to learn, or else I could not survive in the corporate world. I took it as a challenge and followed through.
1. Try to talk to friends who know only English (a few of my classmates from Gujarat & Bhutan).
2. Read children's books (LKG to 5th standard).
3. Whenever I hear a new word, I try to use it in my conversations.
4. Read English novels even if you do not fully understand them.
I did all these things during my undergraduate studies. Currently, I am reading English novels with understanding (Chetan Bhagat's "Two States," "3 Mistakes of My Life," etc.).
So, don't lose hope. If Shashi can do it, who else can?

It seems from your question that you can write but cannot speak English fluently. You should not feel nervous and start speaking in English without any hesitation. You may also join English speaking classes in your town. You will certainly improve. Have self-confidence and start speaking English.
Thank you.

Dear friends,
In order to increase your English language skills, you need to read the newspaper daily so that you can learn new words and their meanings. Another important thing is that the more you practice, the more expertise you gain in English.

Aditya, we should go down memory lane and understand how we learned our mother tongue. It is a very simple technique: listen and repeat. The same applies to English as well. If you are in Bangalore and want to know more, write to n_babithja@yahoo.co.in.

It's a common problem among us Indians. A lot of us can write well but can't speak. Speaking English is a skill - just like cooking, singing, or playing a guitar. You need practice. Join a program that gives you a lot of spoken English practice. Listen to TV news discussions. Just as you can't become a better singer just by reading books about singing, similarly, you can't become a fluent English speaker by reading manuals. Practice is the mantra. Figure out the best way to get the right practice.
