read alot of english books and read it out loud so that you know while reading what mistakes r u making.Improve on those mistakes.In this way your english will improve and you u wont b shy to talk to someone in english.

You need to practice more and need to translate in your mind, before you say anything. You must know the tricks of translation from your native language to English. You could practice short sentences with your friends and relatives. You could also try to speak standing in front of mirror. This will help increase your self confidence. All the best.

I think the most important way is speaking in our daily life.For example, when you eat breakfast ,you can ask youself how taste the food is in English.Reading English newspaper,watching movies ,learning singing English songs are also good ways.

There are numerous ways to improve your English oral skills. One of the ways I suggest is that you look at different English mediums this can be like movies,sites,newspapers,online surfing. With all this try to comprehend all that you can. If you don't understand a certain word or phrase just use dictionary or something similar :)

Sometimes to speak the english orally is that we are afraid to make mistake or too shy to speak up, if you want to practice the english orally, the method is u can speak to yourself on the mirror, u can speak anything from your daily activities, conference, public speaking or any topic that intersets you on the mirror with only you, so whenever u have a doubt you can do the correction
