Introducing myself
Hello everyone, my name is Evelyne, I'm a native Spanish speaker and I just moved to America to learn English, the main reason to move is to get the TOELF certificate at the end of this year. I can say that I've improved a lot but I still have some problems with writting and reading new topics (with new vocabulary) I've been taking some test and I'm struggling with reading comprehension and with my speaking. Sometimes it's hard to make me understand because of my accent, I'm practicing everyday but sometimes looks like it's going to take me longer than a year.
Other problem about my English is that I'm shy when I have to speak English, I don't know why but I don't feel confindent when I'm not talking in my original lenguage

This is well done, Evelyne. I bet you can pass the exam by the end of the year. I recommend you keep your sentences shorter, as I've done with them here. Good luck!

I have the same problem. I shy too. Suppose it's because I'm not sure that I say everything right and afraid to seem stupid.
I wish you luck with your English)

Hey there. I'm no native speaker nor near your level but I want give you some tips .
Living there is a great opportunity you have ,do not waste it. Speak as much as possible, try to make lots of friends and to speed up your progress try to be constantly immersed in the language. Like when you're not around people either read or listen to podcasts . I can guarantee you the 1 year is enough since you live there .
I wish you the best!
