A deliberate attempt is the only solution to build solid communication skills in English. Here are some tips based on practical experience.
Communication is like making a tasty dish at the kitchen. Two things needed for making a good dish are
1. the raw materials
2. cooking skills
In communication also you need two things.
1. Vocabulary
2. Ability to use the right words at the right time
So, get started friends and focus your efforts towards these two things. Want to know about the way you can acheive these. Follow some simple steps and you got it!!!!!
1. Regularly read a good English paper (preferably The Hindu) and listen to the BBC news hour either on radio or on T.V. Collect new words and make a mental note of them.
2. Listen to good interviews in English in BBC or CNN T.V. channel
3. Put whatever you learned to use. Find out a non malayali or a new friend committed to the same purpose and with whom you can experiment your new language skills.
Follow this for an year at least and the results will automatically follow.
Best of luck friends!!!!!

Hello Sir,
The ways of improving communication skills you quoted in this post was nice.The mentioned programmes will help us to avoid many Indianisms like using more 'ing' forms.For example
*Are you having a cold?
*I am not understanding exactly what you mean?
Jarring, may be to the Standard English ear, but the meaning is perfectly clear.
Other important thing is usage of 'take'. for eg:I have to take the boss's permission (obtain, ask for).
Santy you're right. We'll be more precise in our language delivery by doing these.
Thanks for the comment
