Dr. Amalina Bakri is a London-based Malaysian surgeon who is part of a team at the Imperial College in search of the Covid-19 vaccine now. She shared her tips on how to become fluent in English as a lot of people demanded.

1. Practice makes perfect

"No matter how good or bad your grammar is, just be confident and talk in English." Yes, always try and error, practicing the correct way to speak and ignore the people who think that you are showing off. You can only improve if you speak frequently.

2. Communicate with your foreign friends through social media

"I even wrote letters to them. I joined some educational groups online. I started doing all these things when I was 12." Find a group of friends from other countries and starts with a simple conversation like greeting and small talk.

3. Watch Englis TV shows and movies, listen to English music 

"When you learn something new, say the words/phrases out loud!" I totally agree with this as I always did. You can learn a lot of vocabulary and phrases by watching dramas and movies. Write it down and practice how to use it.

4. Practice, practice, practice!
