My difficulties to learn English My difficulties to learn English I have been learning English since two years. At this time, I can read English without problems. Also, I can listen English tv show and I understand enough well. For series and movies I ever have to need read the subtitles. But the most difficults things are for speaking and writing. Indeed, when I try to speak with my teacher on sky, I have many problems to find the good words and to find the correct form of sentences. I have the same problem to write English. I think the problem is that I don’t arrive to think in English. When I’m speaking or I’m writing, I have to past for my native language and I traduce word by word. I don’t think is the good process. Unfortunately, the form of the sentences is not the same in both languages. Did you know this problem? How did you do to overcome that? Thank you for your answer. Thomas.

Hi Tom, Thank you for your comment. If you want, we can help each other. We can discuts by skype in french and then in english. My name on shypr is THOMAS PREMEL. TC

Thomas, I also have the same problem. I am traveling to France in 7 weeks. I understand enough to read a menu or reserve a hotel room. But when I started working with a tutor on italki, I realized I have difficulty putting together sentences. I also find myself translating words (as fast as I can). I am glad I am not alone. I only have 7 weeks left to improve, so I have increased my Skype lessons from one hour per week to three hours per week. I hope that helps. Good luck with your studies!

I hope that's not crazy because i do the same thing... But i dont know if that's good because when we speak alone there are nobody to correct us. And maybe we take bad habits.
