Talking about my learning 2
I'm currently reading a book about Collocations. It's an excellent book for english learners. It's very usefull because it teaches about combining words that will sound more natural when spoken.
I'm learning a lot of basic and intermediate collocations that helps on the time when it's needed to talk to a native. What make me more embarassed about talking to a english speaker is not to know how to say what I'm thinking in my own language. I know what he/she said, and I could hold a conversation with him/her, but only if it was in my mother language.
Although, in the time I need to put out my thoughts in english, it doesn't happen, or I just say single words without any conexion. So, it's probably my words doesn't make any sense. Anyway, I would like read this book before, so I would avoid a lot of embaressment. Now, I need to practice my speaking and stop talking like Tarzan.

Remember
- Most words are not capitalised in English unless they are proper nouns. That said, nationalities and languages need capital letters (i.e. English, Portuguese, Brazilian).
- Make sure that if you have a verb that refers to a singular or plural noun that it is conjugated correctly.
- Sometimes in English we use the -ing form of the word when you would use the infinitive in Portuguese, like knowing in the sentence above.
- Spelling: useful, embarrassed, connection
Response:
Don't beat yourself up about your speaking skills in English. Try to watch youtube videos and practice speaking with native speakers whenever you get the chance. If your speaking is anything like your writing than it seems great to me. Don't forget, practice makes perfect :)

Very well written! But Tarzan was a great after-dinner speaker amongst the apes?

I'm currently reading a book about collocations. It's an excellent book for English learners. It's very useful because it teaches about combining words that will sound more natural when spoken.I'm learning a lot of basic and intermediate collocations that helps whenever you have to talk to a native (speaker). What embarrasses me more about talking to an English speaker is not knowing how to say what I'm thinking in my own language. I know what he/she said, and I could hold a conversation with him/her, but only if it was in my mother language/tongue. The problem is, by the time I've managed to organize my thoughts in English, it just doesn't happen, or I just say single words without any connection, so my words probably don't make any sense.
Anyway, I've been wanting to read this book for some time already, since it would help me not to embarrass myself. Now, I need to practice my speaking and stop talking like Tarzan.
