Bite Your Tongue! Ten Tips to Be an Effective Listener: First, you need to stop saying, "I" the whole time you are saying something. If you are in a meeting or you're giving a presentation, say the name of the person you're talking to, and you've got nothing to worry about.

Talk slower. Speed up your speech. If you can't keep up with the speaker, he/she may get bored and leave.
You need to use the dictionary. Go to the dictionary and look up words the person you're speaking with might have just said the previous day. Ask them questions, and they will answer faster this way. You also need to make eye contact with people you talk to.


Practice makes perfect. The more you speak to people, the more you'll understand them. Sometimes you'll need to repeat what you hear. Don't be afraid to ask questions when you don't understand.

You should always end your sentence with a question. Start sentences with "so," instead of "uh-huh." When you say, "You probably know that," instead of "You probably know that I know," you need to make it clear that you're asking the question. Bite your tongue!

You have a toolbox of tricks at your disposal. If you want to say, "I think you've gone too far," say it with the tone of voice you would use when asking a question. Say it with your eyes shut. When you say, "I can't believe that," say it with the tone of voice you use when describing something really amazing. Don't use your voice to describe something boring. These are just some of the things you can do to help with the tricky behavior.

Remember that there are plenty of resources out there on how to say you're sorry. A simple search on YouTube should yield plenty of results for people who have learned how to say it properly. In fact, these same tips will help you learn how to say anything else too. Bite your tongue!

Say you don't know what to say when somebody asks you for something, don't worry! Use the tips for saying thank you! There is no shortage of things people might ask about. Your job as a speaker is to be ready to say a few things, and then come up with original answers for those situations.

Asking someone if they are okay is easy enough. Just say "Are you okay?" When they tell you they aren't, make sure you say "Thank you." This shows that you've caught their attention, and they may actually start to feel better about themselves.

Asking someone to repeat something you've said is another great tip. If you get someone to do this for you, be sure to thank them. The motivation to say something is almost as important as knowing you said something at all. People love to help others and will be more likely to say a few words to help you out.

Of course, you can't expect people not to talk. Sometimes, a simple hello or goodbye will do. If you find yourself saying something that seems like a silly hello, or you find yourself saying goodbye to someone, make sure you take a moment to consciously control yourself and say hello or goodbye properly.

Another thing you can do is to practice saying "please" or "thank you." Repeating these simple words can really help with self-control and self-confidence. When you are in a situation where you need to say please, for example, trying to say please, thank you, or even just having the tone of voice that conveys the meaning. People will naturally ask you what you're doing, or what's going on.

Finally, you can take some time and really think about why you are saying something. Are you just stating something as part of a routine? Maybe you have a funny memory that you want to share with someone. Whatever it is, these tips can help you if you can commit yourself to making it happen.
