Hi Jacqueline I agree with Gabby. I am a native English speaker and I can totally understand what you have written. Remember that the whole point of any language is to communicate, so as long as you are getting the message across you are successful. I find it so much harder to get the words together when I am face to face with someone though! I am learning Italian and when I am speaking face to face with my tutor I have to really search my brain for the right word but then afterwards when I am reflecting on the session I can think of many ways to say it! I think it will get easier the more you do it, so be brave and learn some fill-in words like... well, maybe, um, I think, let me think...that will fill the gap while you get your ideas into English. :) Kirsty

Well if you speak the way you write you should not have any fear of speaking to a native speaker. From what i have read, you have an excellent level of english. Just keep in mind that it is okay to make mistakes when speaking to native. We're not suppose to speak perfectly and the natives understand that. Keep up the good work!!
