Listen to good speakers. Watch television shows with English language as their medium.
Listen carefully on how they pronounce the words. Imitate if possible.
You can also do reading orally. read aloud and listen to how you talk. It can help you improve your oral English.

On my experience is that I learn better with my diction when I enrolled in a phonics class. (Long time ago when I was still a grader).
Then yes you have to develop your conference to be able to really get more used to it.

@callmemonna thank you very much...in our country, the schools here are actually using English as a major of instruction that is how we learn it. And our school would encourage each student to be speaking in English when we are in school and not to use our own dialects to be able to understand each other and avoid misunderstanding of words. Because we have different native languages here.

@jndlponti So, that creates a good environment for you to learned English well. Anyway, English is one of the necessary courses in my country, but we seldom use it in our daily life. If you chat with your friends in English frequently, they will consider that you are a weird.

Try your best and keep talking with it. Even if you have to talk to yourself in the mirror. Have a conversation with yourself or if you can with someone else. You can try to listen or watch videos or music with people who speak really clearly. Or even audiobooks.

Regarding from my personal experienced, you can practice with your friends or expart. Try simple conversation or just repeated by movie scene, follow song lyrics, or your favorite book chapters. Your and your friends could evaluated which the correct ones while you do those activities.
Writing also can improve your oral English because it encourage you to revise continuously before you publish it.

American English or English English? 
Either way just choose people who are accustomed to public speaking like a president or a news reporter. They have to speak correct and plain because it's their job. Listen to them. Try to repeat statements and phrases they make. That's a start.
This is not my idea. I actually got the idea from former California governor Arnold Schwarznegger. He suggested that if people wanted to learn to speak Spanish, they should watch Spanish television. I sort of modified his idea.
By the way, if you want to improve your oral English, do not copy Schwarznegger? Copy his ex-wife Maria Shriver.

Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne may be calling it quits, but they're far from the only ones to split up at a later age.

@callmemonna - You're welcome. It's an inside joke also. Was born and raised in America. My husband was brought up speaking “the King's English” as he likes to call it; which means, according to him, the English I speak is not the real English. Whatever! My friends from the UK understand me perfectly.

@cmoneyspinner Unbelievable! I think that it's a little different between British English and American English, so it's not that difficult to understand each other.

However, my parents don't understand English at all, and i always lack of confidence to speak it out.
