I feel helpless. I'm trying to learn English, but I'm very trouble because I can't stop to think in Portuguese. It's so dissapointing. But, the hurt part of this is that I can't talk. I stop everytime. But I'm well to write and read, but when I need to talk, I brake. And now, I'm trying to change this. In my future work, I wont need to talk, no much, I hope. Basicly, I'll need to translate some instruction manuals, so, I think that Speak is not so necessary. But, I want to travel at the end of course, to Canadá. I'll need to talk fluently, sure. Thanks for reading.

I feel helpless.

I'm trying to learn English, but I'm very troubled because I can't stop thinking* in Portuguese. It's so disappointing. ** "Troubled" = adjective form. "Trouble" = noun
But, the hurtful part of this is that I can't talk. ** "Hurtful" = adjective. "Hurt" = noun

I stop everytime. But I'm well to write and read good at writing* and reading*, but when I need to talk, I brake. And now I'm trying to change this. In my future work, I won't need to talk very much, I hope. Basically, I'll need to translate some instruction manuals, so speaking* will not be necessary. But, I want to travel to Canada at the end of course. I'll need to talk fluently, sure. There, I will definitely need to talk fluently.
Thanks for reading.

Don't give up!! Your writing is very good :-)

I am learning a language, too, and I am very nervous about speaking.

I hope you have found some English conversation partners through this site. Everyone here is learning, and no one will laugh at you if you make mistakes!

dont be like that,you can make it soon if you practice every day,actually,i think the basic way to improve the spoken english is to chat with your friends every day.now,i chat with my friends every day and i improved a lot.but,at first,they were unwilling to speak english,bec everyone looked at us in the road,but later,maybe they got used to it,so they speak english too,actually,they do want to improve spoken english.btw,i even had a game with my friend about speaking english,if i speak chinese that day,then i must buy some food to them,i cant speak chinese even when i go to the shop to buy the food.i remember that i didnt speak chinese even when i was in the shop,which i thought it was the most difficult part to get through,until when i was chatting with someone through the net,i wont forget about that scene,when i just put the chinese out,all they got crazy,and i was speechless about myself,bec i know i could make it,but i didnt for an unknown reason,although i failed,but i received great fun,and my friends too.about mistake,i make too,i think even the native speaker too,so dont worry,you said that when you are going to speak a english sentence,you always think about the portuguese first,i think it's a progress,with more practice,you will be better..i'm not a english native speaker,i commented in here,hope you dont mind,rsrsrsrsr,,,,boa sorte!
