I want to speak English! I'm studying English about 14years(since primary school). Now, I'm a student. And I feel frustrated that I'm not fluent in English. I listen a lot of English and American music groups. I'm trying to read english books (I have read "Alice in Wonderland", "The Hobbit").I know rules, verbs, constructions(a little more from every part of language), but when it's time to speak- it seems I'm from anoter planet.I have forgotten all that I know - what article or tence should be used. So, I'm hesitate to speak. What can you recommend me? How can I begin to speak? (Sorry, if I made silly mistakes)

I want to speak English!

I have been studying English about 14years (since primary school). Now, I'm a student, and I feel frustrated that I'm not fluent in English. I listen to a lot of English and American music groups. I'm trying to read English books (I have read "Alice in Wonderland", "The Hobbit"). I know rules, verbs and constructions(a little more from every part of language), but when it's time to speak- it seems I'm from another planet. I have forgotten all that I know - what article or tense should be used. So, I  hesitate to speak.
What can you recommend to me? How can I begin to speak?
(Sorry, if I made silly mistakes)

 

[The mistakes aren't silly.  You are pretty good.  It is a matter of constant use.  One friend of mine was two years in Germany and could barely speak it.  Then he met a German girl, who spoke with him every day in German.  Within two months, his German improved to an unbelievable degree.  The answer is constant usage, then.  However, that is not as easy to do as it sounds.]

Таня, ты на ITALKI не первый год, а баллов заработала мало. Правь людям, что учат русский язык, их тексты на русском языке. Легко. Предпочтение отдавай американцам. Тебя заметят и попросят их учить по SKYPE русскому языку (Лучше с видео, чтобы видеть реакцию, мимику человека). Соглашайся даже без обязательств с их стороны помочь тебе. Волей-неволей тебе придётся им растолковывать на английском, так как в русском они - нулевики. Американцы очень скромные люди и, если их не попросишь, они ни единой твоей ошибки не исправят. Особенно этим страдают те, кто желает с тобой письменно общаться на английском языке. Они не заинтересованы в обучении кого-то, включая себя. Им интересен собеседник как таковой. В любом случае ты будешь в выигрыше, так как завяжется живое общение.

When you start having conversations with English native speakers you will be amazed to see how much you already know and how quiclky you will learn to express yourself more. Written messages also count. Just try that and speaking too! :)

Just go for it, Tatiana! It'll be frustrating at first, maybe even to the point of tears, but it gets easier. Pushing through that beginning phase is hard, but there's no way to improve your speaking skills without speaking. You can do it!
