Quick Tips for Accuracy

1. Slow down. Take your time — clarity is better than speed.
   
   

2. Plan your grammar. Think about the tense or structure before you start speaking.
   
   

3. Listen to your own mistakes. Notice patterns (e.g., articles, prepositions, verb endings).
   
   

4. Ask for feedback. “Can you tell me if that sounded right?”
   
   

5. Repeat corrected sentences. Say it again the right way to build muscle memory.
   
   

6. Focus on one error type at a time. Don’t fix everything at once.
   
   

7. Check collocations. Learn words in pairs (“make a decision,” not “do a decision”).
   
   

8. Use reformulation. “Sorry, I mean…” / “Let me rephrase that.”
   
   

9. Read aloud. It helps you hear mistakes and internalise grammar patterns.
   
   

10. Learn chunks, not words. Memorise useful expressions as full phrases (“I’ve been meaning to…”, “It depends on…”).
