Spoken English Learn By Doing it Everyday Until You Succeed
Eventually, we shifted back to our ancestral home in Bihar. Time passed, I got married, and new responsibilities entered my life. One day, my brother told me, “Let’s go to spoken English classes. I’m going there, you should come too.”
At first, I didn’t take it seriously. But then my mother also encouraged me to go. Honestly, I was getting bored staying at home, so I thought — why not? It’s just one hour a day.
That’s how my journey began.
I started going to spoken English classes with my brother. Time passed quickly — more than six months went by. My English wasn’t perfect, but I could finally speak! The first time I realized that I could actually express myself in English, I felt an unbelievable sense of pride. For the first time in my life, I felt like I had achieved something that truly belonged to me.
From then on, I practiced every day. I used to go to the rooftop and speak to myself whenever I had time. When I got bored, I spoke again. But soon I realized that just speaking wasn’t enough — I needed to record myself and listen. So I began recording my voice on my phone and that’s how I started improving.
After about six months, my brother moved to Dhanbad. That became a challenge for me because I had to travel to class — and I wasn’t confident riding my bike in heavy traffic. So, I asked my cousins to help. They would drop me at the main road, and from there I took public transport — usually an auto. After reaching Hajipur, sometimes I had to walk to reach my class.
During the hot summer days, it was tough. Sometimes my cousins were busy, and I had to walk the entire way, both to and from class. Still, I went, because I knew how important it was to me. Once I discovered that I could speak, I wanted to improve even more.
I faced many small challenges too — like paying extra fares to auto drivers because there was no fixed rate. Some charged ₹10, others ₹20. It sounds small, but those daily struggles taught me a lot about patience and consistency.
After a while, I decided to go to class on my own bike a Royal Enfield Bullet I had bought years ago. I had only ridden it around my neighborhood before, never on the main road. I was afraid of traffic, of making mistakes. But one day, I decided to overcome that fear.
At that time, I was also going to the gym early in the morning. I used to ride to the class area, stop before reaching, take a U-turn, and go back just to get comfortable with the route. One day, I finally gathered the courage to go all the way. And you know what? It felt easy. I realized that the fear was only in my mind.
From that day on, I regularly went to class on my bike. A month later, while waiting in traffic, I suddenly smiled to myself — thinking about how something that once felt impossible had now become so normal. That day, I truly understood: most of our limits exist only in our minds.
As time passed, I improved even more. I fixed many of my problems, gained confidence, and learned to understand myself better. I realized the reason I succeeded wasn’t because I was the smartest person in class — I definitely wasn’t. It was because I showed up every single day.
In the beginning, I used to avoid spoken English classes because I was afraid people would laugh at me. But once I started speaking, I began to look forward to every session. I couldn’t wait for class days — I just wanted to speak more. That’s how I got better.
Over time, English became more than just a language for me — it became part of my life. That’s why I decided to make it my occupation, so I can keep improving and stay connected with it forever.
A lot has happened since then, and if I start talking about everything, it would take hours. But I want to share one thing with you:
No matter who you are, if you truly want to learn a language — any language — you can learn it.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s English or something else. From my own experience, I can tell you — the time it takes depends entirely on you. Don’t believe anyone who says you can learn in three or six months. Some people may learn fast, others may take a year or more. That’s okay.
What matters is your consistency and desire. As long as you truly want to learn, as long as you keep going, you will get there.
Don’t compare yourself with others. Everyone has a different pace. Someone might learn faster, someone slower — but that doesn’t matter. If you want to learn, you will. If you want to speak English, you will speak it.
That’s the truth I’ve lived — and the message I want to share.
