Whether you're an aspiring lecturer, gamers, or simply someone eager to improve your ability to communicate. It's better when you speak clearer so the audience can understand your message better. Here  I gather some techniques to improve your speaking skills with a more detailed explanation of each point.


1. Make Your Mic Closer When You Speak
- Position your microphone closer to your mouth to capture your voice more clearly and reduce background noise.
- Adjust the mic's distance for optimal audio quality without causing distortion.

2. Record Yourself Talking
- Recording your speech allows you to review your communication style, identify areas for improvement, and track progress over time.
- Listen to the recordings critically, focusing on aspects like pronunciation, pacing, clarity, and intonation.

3. Enable Voice Playback
- Some software and apps offer voice playback features that let you hear your spoken words in real-time.
- Listening to yourself while speaking can help you monitor your tone, rhythm, and overall delivery.

4. Be Confident and Don't Care About the Surroundings
- Confidence is essential for effective communication. Believe in your ability to convey your message clearly.
- Focus on your content and your audience rather than getting distracted by your surroundings.

5. Practice Regularly
- Dedicate time each day to practice speaking. Consistency is key to improvement.
- Engage in conversations, read aloud, and participate in language exchange sessions to practice different types of speaking.

6. Expand Vocabulary and Grammar
- A strong vocabulary and good grasp of grammar enhance your ability to express yourself clearly and fluently.
- Learn new words and sentence structures, and incorporate them into your conversations.

7. Listen Actively

 - Engage in conversations with native speakers or proficient speakers of the language you're learning.
- Pay attention to their pronunciation, intonation, and choice of words, and try to emulate their style.

8. Seek Feedback

 - Ask for feedback from language partners, tutors, or friends. Constructive criticism can help you identify areas for improvement.
- Be open to suggestions and use feedback as a tool for growth.

9. Use Language Learning Apps
- Many language learning apps provide speaking exercises and interactive lessons that help you practice pronunciation and conversation.
- Take advantage of these resources to improve your speaking skills.

10. Work on Pronunciation
- Focus on correct pronunciation of sounds that might be challenging in the language you're learning.
- Use resources like pronunciation guides, videos, and audio recordings to refine your pronunciation.

11. Practice Tongue Twisters and Articulation Exercises
- Tongue twisters and articulation exercises help you improve clarity and diction.
- Regular practice can enhance your ability to enunciate words clearly.

12. Be Patient and Persistent
- Improving speaking skills takes time. Embrace the learning process and celebrate small achievements along the way.

Remember that improving your speaking skills is a gradual process. By combining these techniques and staying committed to practice, you'll see noticeable progress in your ability to communicate effectively in your target language.

Spring Kafka - how to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Kafka is an asynchronous messaging queuing system, but when you have a case in your project that you need to have the result immediately from another service you can do that quite easily. Kafka from the client side produces a message to the server side, then waiting for the server to return back the message exactly what the client wants. It’s identified in the kafka header request named KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID and a topic where the server should send. If the server side produces the same correlation id to the same topic in the request, then the client side will catch that message as its reply. Although you can work with kafka from a different framework and language other than Java and Spring. Here’s in this example i just specifically giving the example of sending and replying kafka messages using Spring Boot. The Project Overview The client-project will send a string message to the server-project over kafka, then the server-project wil

Let’s SSH login using pem to confirm if it’s throwing error or the pem is fine, if error then we need to move to step 2 to fix it: ssh adam@10.0.0.123  -i server-cert.pem And here's the usual error that will throw if your pem file is not ready for SSH login. You need to follow the next step to make your pem certificate ready to login to your server via SSH. 2. Open Windows Explorer, then right-click on the pem file, then select "Properties". Navigate to the "Security" tab, and click "Advanced" 3. Disable inheritance 4. Delete all permissions, so it doesn’t have any permission 5. Now add you as the only only owner.

MySQL and MariaDB password As already mentioned in the title of this blog, this error message sometimes occurred when we are trying to update our root password database, either MySQL or MariaDB, The error says: ERROR 1348 (HY000): Column 'Password' is not updatable This is because if we use this SQL command to update our database root password, and it turn out to be Restricted by MySQL to use update on mysql database.

Reactive Spring Logo This is maybe a very simple task, but for those of you that may not be familiar with WebFlux found it difficult to create a Rest API that handles upload and download in Reactive spring application. Create the skeleton Spring project Create a new project, go to start.spring.io , on the dependencies section, add Spring Reactive Web. Generate and extract it into your desired project location. Instead of using spring-boot-starter-web, use spring-boot-starter-webflux instead in your pom.xml. Here’s the pom.xml for our Reactive Rest API project. Create our Rest controller Now that you have set to use WebFlux instead of the usual web, we have to change a little bit in the Controller class that handles the API endpoints. It doesn’t change much but you have to wrap the Response in Mono and the request parameter to FilePart. So our upload and download file controller will look like this. Create utility to handle file upload We need to structure our project better, so we cr
