How To Use Proper English When You are Giving a Speech

How To Use Proper English When You are Giving a Speech

For many of us, giving a speech is one of the most daunting tasks we could ever engage in. You have to stand up in front of a group of people, and you must speak to them about various concepts or ideas. You may be nervous, and if the people don’t understand what you’re trying to say, the experience can be humiliating. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. Depending on the speech and why you are giving it, failing to speak properly will not only cause you to be humiliated, but it may also cost you time, money, and your reputation. It is for this reason that learning how to speak proper English is so important.

At some point in our lives, we will all be required to give a speech about something. Speech classes are a normal subject for elementary schools, and they will also be offered in high schools as well. More often than not, the first speech most of us have to give is in front of our classmates. Once you go to college, you may also take classes where you are required to speak before a group. This training is highly important, and you should not take it for granted. Even if you don’t like public speaking, it is a chance where you can share your ideas with others. If you have an idea, and you need support for it, public speaking is one of the best ways to get it.

The Fundamentals of Public Speaking

When it comes to public speaking, learning how to read and write is fairly easy. If you know about 2,000 different words, you will have the key ingredients that will allow you to speak properly. However, the real challenge comes being able to say things in the right manner. The first thing you will need to do is know your audience. Even if you have a sizeable vocabulary, if your audience doesn’t understand what you are trying to say, you won’t be able to drive home certain points. Your audience may become bored, or they could become confused. You will want to avoid putting yourself in a situation like this.
Those who are good with public speaking will generally be people that are highly adaptable. They know what to say, and they know when to say it. Having 70,000 words in your vocabulary won’t do you much good if your audience doesn’t understand what you are trying to say. If you are giving a speech at an industry meeting, it makes a lot of sense to use industry words and jargon. In a situation like this, the audience will be familiar with these terms. However, if you are speaking to an audience who is not familiar with your industry jargon, you must avoid using it at all costs.

Why Proper English is so important with Public Speaking

When you give a speech, the things you say, and the ways in which you say it will play an important role in whether or not people will be receptive to your ideas. Suppose you are giving a speech where you are trying to raise money. Or perhaps you are trying to convince an investor that your idea will allow them to become wealthier. In both of these scenarios, you can’t afford not to drive home your point. You can’t afford to confuse the people that listen to you. If you do so, you will lose the chance to make money, and your credibility will be gone. Once you lose you’re credibility, you’re in a lot of trouble.



Another factor that you will want to pay attention to is the way you say certain words. If you pronounce words in the wrong way, this will send across a message that you’re unintelligent. Many people choose to type of their speech on paper, and if you do this, you will want to take the time to look up words you have any doubts about. Make sure you can say them in the proper manner. What good is using a fancy word if you pronounce it wrong?

Conclusion : Proper English and Speech

Your success lies in your ability to communicate your ideas with others. One of the most common ways to do this is through public speaking. If you are skilled at public speaking, and you combine this with proper English, there is no limit to the things you can do.
