Suggestions to improve Communication Skills..

You might also try to get on skype and communicate with English speakers. This will help a lot too. It's very good to read the magazines and books! That's a great idea! And watch movies or tv in English if it's available too.

I think that your mum is right to told you to rehearse your voice and pronunciation because this can add some charisma to your speech. Charisma is a very good thing when you are in front of crowd or in an important meeting.

Every language is simple and difficult both. We can develop our communication skills but for that we have to be determined and that becomes even more difficult when the language is second or third language. Now lets discuss about English. The first thing which you can do for developing English is go on communicating with others. Try and read some good literature. If you want to really improve your pronunciation you have to try and read very loudly for at least half an hour everyday. Practice makes a man perfect. The second thing is we should not forget that every language has got its own origin, own rhythm,its own flow and very important its own uniqueness. What happens in maximum cases is we speak English but our first language i.e. our mother tongue greatly influence English and this problem is known as mother tongue influence.If you really want to get rid of this problem then you have to listen lot of English that too from the people whose first language is English. And the best thing to do this is watch lot of English movies. And last but not the least use Internet. This is the best place to enhance your communication skills. Hope this info will help you

For me the best sources of communication skill is constant practice like telephone conversation, listening audio conversation, forum, social chatting, and for grammar reading and reading more books, new papers and other... see you around and good luck

Interacting with many english speaking individuals here in mylot is already a good practice, you definitely need to keep this up. Also, in your idle time, you could try impersonating your favorite actress or some english speaking person that you admire and try imitating her accent or the way she speaks. It sure helps me, I hope it helps you too.
