Speaking versus Writing
Have you ever happened to know that 25% of the world's not able to read or write and these people can function and interact normally with each other every single day. Remember when you were a child, you listened to your parents speak and you copied them. It is normal for little kids and children to learn speaking first, become fluent, then start reading, then writing. So the natural order is listening, speaking, reading, then writing. Over the years, people have tried to learn languages like they learn a concept or a theory. They try to understand the meaning behind each sentence and try to put them together through logic. If you are studying to pass a test, then you will have to try to understand every word of every sentence and know why each word is in a particular place. But when you speak, you don't need to know any rules. The more rules and logic you think about, the harder time you will have. The best way to learn to speak a language is to memorize. First, have a sentence that is correct. Listen to the sentence, repeat the sentence over and over again until it becomes a part of you. Let me give you an example to throw a light on what I am trying to express. You probably learned how to say, 'Nice to meet you.' You don't have to think about this sentence because you practiced it so many times. Imagine if can say other things as fast as you can say 'Nice to meet you." That is what you will be learning by listening and speaking.
Hi Tyler, nice to meet you. Your English is advanced but I have made a few suggestions as to how the passage might be improved - just added/changed a few words. Little kids and children would be the same; memorise is correct english (memorize is americanism); practised is correct english - we were always taught to remember that ...ice is the noun and ...ise is the verb (although in american english I think they can use either).
