The internet enables you to hold a conversation online just like you can on the street or over the telephone. And you don't have to worry about the embarrassment of sounding bad in front of someone you know. You also have the advantage of being able to learn conversations from a native speaker, even if you live in your home country.
So all you need is access to the internet and use some useful websites that help learners develop conversational English skills.
You can:
- listen to native speakers talk about various topics;
- learn useful idioms;
- learn common words and phrases;
- test your vocabulary skills in everyday English;
- practice responding, in English, to real-life conversations;
- listen to native speakers give sample responses.

The following websites can help you develop conversational English skills:

- http://www.livemocha.com/

Hello Maram,

You want to make it faster not only "seem faster" ;)
You have to read a lot and practice a lot of speaking to improve your ability to speak fluently.
This will require as well learning lots of new vocabulary and listening a lot to spoken English.
It is a gradual process that will bear its fruits on the long run.
Good luck:)

Hello Maram. How are you doing? I hope you are OK.

When you say "Make English conversation seems faster" probably you mean "Make my English conversation seems more natural (or fluent).

My pieces of advice are:
1 - Don't confuse fast conversation with fluency during the conversation. Persons speaking too fast does not mean that they speak fluently. Fast speaking most of the times is understadable and it's necessary to ask for repetition from whom is talking. Speak in a speed not so fast as a rocket, but also not so slow as a turtle.

2 - Fluency comes from flowing, like water flowing in a stream (or river). Independent on the curves and other things the wather cross following its way, the water continues flowing. To be fluent in a language does not exactly means you dominate it absolutely. First you learn how to speak and have fluency according you practice; later you will learn the formal language and possibly have a domination level of it.

3 - Having or not accent during a conversation, the important point is being understood for the other ones you are talking to. Lose the accent in the adult phase is a lot difficult but despite of it, communication that matters.

And finally, 4 - Listen too much, listen good and listen always. And do not forget to repeat what you listen until you can do equal or almost equal what you have listened.

Good luck, happy studies and best wishes.

Rod.

Hello Maram,

To improve your English conversation you will need to improve your English language in general : Your grammar, your vocabulary and your ability to form correct sentences:

Here are some tips for you to help you learn English and improve your level gradually:

To start learning English from the scratch you might need to take some initial classes to learn the alphabet , how to pronounce ,basic vocabulary and grammar. You can do that by taking classes in a language institute or by self learning online, although some guiding from a tutor at that early stage is recommended, unless you are able to depend only on audio/video facilities.
Then you have to practice and increase your vocabulary through different means such as :
*Reading at your level of comprehension simple texts or books and looking up new words .
* Listening to English through music and possibly reading the lyrics.
* Watching movies in English with subtitles in your mother tongue..
* Chatting with natives online using voice chats or in real life .Mingling with natives is a very good way to be constantly listening to speech in English, even if you don't understand at the beginning.

Make lists of words you learned and categorize them, e.g words you use at the office , words you use at school , greetings etc....
- Keep a diary in English . Try to use the new words you learned to write and compose simple sentences .The more you add up to your vocabulary, the more you can form intricate ones. Test your level!.
-Take a holiday abroad if you can afford in countries speaking English. It is an opportunity to practice with natives and learn more about the culture and people.You can sign up in language courses in those countries as well beside visiting its historical and monumental buildings and museums . You will be using guiding phrasebooks to help you get along there. The whole process will help you learn more words, expressions and practice speaking.
All the above can help you improve your language. Intensifying your efforts will make you improve faster. Concentrating on whatever method you are applying will guarantee you a more steady improvement.
