Respond on the phone with, "this is she" or, "this is he" when someone calls and asks if you are there. "This is her" or, "this is him" would not be the proper grammatical form.
Step 2
Avoid saying "more better" or any variation of this--"more faster" and so on. Simply say "better" or "faster".
Step 3
Refuse to say, "I could have went." Replace this instead with, "I could (or should or would) have gone." On the same note, replace, "I could have ate" with, "I could have eaten."
Step 4
Use, "I sneaked" instead of, "I snuck."
Step 5
Never speak the words, "I never did nothing" or, "I don't got no..." This is called a double negative. You never did anything. You don't have any.

I usually hear black people use double negative.

I dont go no to her place, yo.

As per my suggestion you can try to more English language and find that error by your self and also you can listen English speaking speech. Through that you can get many benefits from them.
