Ask HN: How to improve spoken and written English skills rapidly?
I was born in India. Although I studied in English throughout I always feel my spoken and written english skils are not good. I work for a tech company and get along with my coworkers easily. There is no problem for me understanding or talking in general.
What I want to improve is -
1. My accent. I don't like Indian accent. Indian English is influenced by British English. But, I like American accent.
2. I have problems speaking continuously. I often miss spontaneity. I can't speak flawlessly without struggling to come up with correct and smart word. I prefer brevity but I often fail to express myself in similar way.
3. My written English are okay but I often miss articles ( you might have noticed from my writing ).
Are there any free courses? I am 29 so it's kind of awkward to take classes but I am ready to work on myself if anything available online.
