A few ways to improve English speaking skills is to hear what is being spoken and repeat the phrase and speak it out in context. Speak it out in real life scenarios. The key is to apply the vocabulary words you have learned and form them into a sentence that you would regularly use in day-to-day life. We learn most from our mistakes in conversation with others, even if it may be embarrassing to us. You must go for it and speak, even if you are afraid to. Application in context is key. Pronunciation will come as you practice. Be brave!
The best idea is to watch Youtube/movies/TV shows where people speak in the accent you like best and to repeat what they say many times. Replaying the same section of the video can help you to accurately hear the way it is said by natives of your target language.
Very Simple really, choose a tutor book a lesson and have a conversation. Rinse and repeat!

Actually, when we say walk in the street, we don't know which street exactly, but when we say walk on the street, we exactly know which street they are walking on. For example: she was walking on st.jose street. Plus we can use along the streer instead

Through modeling, where the teacher provides a clear model of the pronunciation, and the student repeats it. Secondly, phonetic transcription using the International phonetic Alphabet (IPA) which can help the student understand how words are pronounced. Another way could be using tongue twisters, which can be a fun and helpful way for practicing pronunciation , especially for sounds that are difficult to pronounce. The last way could be recordings, where students could listen to native speakers and imitate how they pronounce words.
