The speaker, Maddie from POC English, provides tips on how to improve English speaking skills. The three main tips are:
1. **Speaking comes last**: Before speaking, learners need to learn new words and collocations, and practice writing to build their vocabulary and grammar skills.
2. **Think in English**: Learners can improve their speaking skills by thinking in English, either by keeping a journal, writing down their daily plans and reflections in English, or by talking to themselves in English throughout the day.
3. **Build confidence**: Learners can build their confidence in speaking English by reading aloud, pretending to speak in front of an audience, and continuously improving their English language skills, including vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
Additionally, the speaker emphasizes the importance of making mistakes and learning from them, and encourages learners to practice speaking even if they don't have a speaking partner, by talking to themselves.
