Reward yourself and give yourself credit for your accomplishments

Have I understood something correctly? You just seemed to be having a conversation with a native speaker, right? When you talk, do you typically use shorter or longer sentences?

Give yourself a treat!

You can build your confidence in your ability to speak English by celebrating the completion of smaller milestones.

When you catch yourself using better vocabulary or constructing your sentences more effectively, acknowledge your progress and make a mental note to congratulate yourself on the achievement.

You might even want to make a note of it by jotting it down on paper or typing it into a note on your smartphone. These straightforward reminders demonstrate how far you've come and encourage you to keep moving in the right direction.
