9 English Speaking Tips for Hindi Medium Students

Febuary 11, 2025 Published by Gaurav Kandari

You must’ve been once frozen in mid-sentence, ‘Mujhse nahi hoga?’ Relax! English is not talent. It’s a skill. You can master it.

The Struggle is Real, but So is the Solution!

Of course, translating in Hindi slows you down. Have small goals at first like ordering chai in English or planning your day in English.

Even if it feels weird, Think in English

Sounds crazy? Maybe. But it works! Take a call — “I am making tea”. English stops feeling foreign and then we start to be confident.

Talk To Yourself (It’s OK If You Are Loud!)

Not even the most native of speakers speak perfect English. Focus on fluency first. If they get you, you’re doing what you’re doing.

Ditch the Grammar Obsession!

Choose an English movie, play a scene, and mimic their speech. Shah Rukh’s style? Tom Cruise’s swagger? Copy them—it’s fun & effective!

Shadow Your Favorite Actors

Don’t force fancy words. Learn 3 useful words daily. "Hmm... What’s ‘jugaad’ in English?" (Incidentally, it’s actually ‘hack’ or ‘workaround’!)

Befriend the Dictionary, But Casually

You will make mistakes. So what? Even Virat Kohli misses shots! Own your errors, learn from the errors, and carry on. No shame, only growth.

Speak, Stumble, Learn, Repeat

Absorb English like a sponge, whether it’s songs, podcasts, or Instagram captions. The only thing is the more you hear it, the more natural it becomes.

Surround Yourself with English

Be bold! Greet a stranger, request directions in English, and comment on YouTube videos. Real learning happens in real life talks!!!

Start Conversations, Not Just Sentences
