How to Improve My Conversational Skills? It's ok to make me write something in English while it seems quite hard for me to talk with someone in it. Maybe there are three obstacles in front of me. They are my Chinese thinking style, lack of practice and my fear of doing so. For example, while I want to say a word, I will convert Chinese to English, and maybe in this process I will even make some mistakes as called Chianglish. I often react slowly and incorrectly due to lack of practising speaking English. I think it must be the most serious problem which should be solved at once. Then I come here to find someone talking with me. Anyone want to talk with me? Practice makes perfect. And I think I should spend more leisure time talking with others in English.
