A student while speaking English faces some difficulties. Few of these difficulties and the possible solutions are as follows.
1] Fear of committing mistakes: Most students hesitate to speak English because what others may think if they find the mistake. They can laugh at them or insult them. To be on safe side, they prefer to keep quiet or speak as little as possible.
Solution: It is normal for a non-native speaker of English to commit mistakes while learning English because English is not his mother tongue. Even the uneducated or less educated native speakers do mistakes while speaking English. One should take courage to speak English without caring for mistakes every time. They may ask the listeners to rectify them, as and when needed.
2] Non-availability of words to express feelings: A non-native speaker of English wants to say something but he doesn’t get words to express them in English.
Solution: A student should always have two dictionaries – one from mother tongue to English and other from English to mother tongue. Searching words in these dictionaries inspires one to speak English.
3] Difference of syntax: The arrangement of words [syntax] in mother tongue is different from the syntax of English. One cannot translate a sentence from mother tongue to English in the exact same manner.
Solution: Reading of English books, especially one meant for lower classes helps to learn the English syntax. The arrangement of subject, predicate and object in every language is quite different. One needs to know it clearly
