practice reading out loud. Watch English movies and TV shows taking note of intonation, diction and tone then you can practice your speech. You can start at home by communicating with hosuehold members or friends in English. One thing that you can do to access how you sound is also to record your voice while reading or talking and playing it back to see how you are doing. You can record as many times as you want until you feel that you sound like and English-speaker. I personally tried this and on the phone, I'm often mistaken as a native English speaker. Good luck :-)

I appreciate this discussion, I also want to improve my English speaking, I know practice makes a man perfect, but some good guidance would make it easier, so waiting for that.

Try to meet people who speak English and talk to them and ask them to correct your speaking. Keep in mind that they are trying to help and not make fun of you.

The only way is practice. You must have a friend or friends who speak good English and talk a lot with them. Reading English books or watching English films will also help. What about an English speaking pen pal who will correct your written mistakes? If you wrote the above on your own then you have already a good basic knowledge and could quickly build on that. Only real mistakes you made were "funlent" should be "fluent" , English is "a" basic requirement and I need "your" help. Good luck with your learning.
