Introducing myself

 

My name is Nelly. I'm a fourth year English literature student. I like reading novels and plays, which is already the core of my study. I love spending time with my friend and I like shopping and hanging out with family. I want to speak English as a native. I know it's very hard, but I want to give it a shoot. I can read, write and understand English, but when it comes to speaking English, I become shy and sometimes I can't use complex vocabulary. I become very nervous when I speak English with a native and sometime I give them the impression that don't know English at all. I become very sad when I find my friends speak English professionally and use a complex vocabulary while I can't express myself because of my shyness. Thanks for reading these words and I'll be very thankful if anyone helped me.

Great English language skills!! One note: no need for a space before periods and commas: 

 

This is not necessary . 

This is correct.

 

Maybe you can find a native English language partner and practice with him or her enough where you will feel more comfortable speaking English and your confidence will improve! :)

Hello Mr.Heinz. thanks a lot for your words. As you have said I know English but I can' express myself. But I'll try hear myself more by recording. I see it as a very interesting way of learning and I really believe that it will be useful :). thanks again for your time .

Hello Nelly. You know so much English but it seems you have a difficult time speaking and expressing it. Have you heard yourself speak English in a recording? You should give it a try sometime (and don't worry about mistakes or imperfection). Hearing yourself talking into a microphone and hearing your own voice may help you a lot like it did for me. حظا سعيدا

Hi Bruce , firstly many thanks for your concern and answering me . Secondly I know the right pronunciation of each word and sometimes I know a lot of words but I don't know how to put it in a context . I'm working on that and to make use of the vocabulary that I have . I maybe much like your students I concentrate on the grammar mistakes and I totally ignore the pronunciation and vocabulary and that what makes me do mistakes while speaking . I'm trying to forget grammar while speaking to improve my spoken English skills . Thanks again for your concern , its very helpful .

Hello Nelly: I think you would enjoy "The Importance of Being Ernest" because there is lots of humor, double meanings, and so forth. I think also, that humorous works would serve to help you in any dialogue with a friend that you practice English with. Serious subjects can contribute to the feeling of awkwardness when trying to vocalize. I seldom have any difficulty with shy students, and am always able to induce a sense of ease in their correspondence. One of the ways I do this is that I give them something specific to read for a lesson in English pronuciation, such as reading the words to a song. I find that it really helps, if you are not burdened, all at once, with the need to speak English, and "think" about word choices all at the same time. Add to that, the idea that a tutor or teacher is a complete stranger to you, and it can be awkward for a student indeed. I work with many students, the vast majority of which, informed me that their English was very poor, and that they had speaking difficulty. Usually, this is not entirely true. It is also true that when people are overly concerned with Grammatical Correctness, rather than using simple sentnences, it creates an unnecessary tension. When you choose to work with a new friend, I think you should look for those who have a specific structure or planned methodology for practices. These can all be abandoned, as soon as you find that you are speaking freely about the ideas you use for your dialogues.---Warm Regards, Bruce
