I am new here. My favorite subject right now is English. Even though I am studying English very hard, I can't seem to speak it very well. I want to improve my English. What should I do? Do foreigners consider grammar when they are talking? Thank you!

-- Hi Bonnie! I'm just going to write a short response to your entry. Your English is good! You can improve your English by having "English" things around you, such as English books or music. Another great way to improve your English, especially speaking, is to take classes with a native speaker, either in a classroom or online (like here!). When speaking to a native speaker, grammar is very important because it helps the speaker understand what you are trying to say --

I am new here. My favorite subject is English. Though I learn English very hard I'm trying very hard to learn English, I can 't speak it well. I want to improve my English. What should i do? Do foreigners consider ('consider' is fine in this instance but it may sound more natural to say "think about") the grammar when they are talking?
thank you!

To answer your question: "Do foreigners think about grammar when they are talking?". Very infrequently, I would say. Most of the time, I'm thinking of ways to better organize my words or stronger/more appropriate diction.

Bonnie, your English is good (still, I corrected some things). I would also like to tell you two things: 1) instead of "foreigners", I recommend "native English speakers"; 2) grammar is simply part of writing, not speaking. However, this is the fun part: the better you understand grammar, the better you will speak--because one of the most important reasons for grammar is to clarify how the writing should be spoken.

Here are two examples of how grammar changes how to say something--and definitely changes the meaning of the sentence:

1) "A woman without her man is nothing." This means a woman is nothing unless she has a man.

2) "A woman: without her, man is nothing." This means a man is nothing unless he has a woman.

I hope that was helpful.
