What do you think about English courses in non-English speaking countries?
To begin, I'm from Colombia, Barranquilla. Nowadays I'm learning English and French, but students don't practice speaking much English at some schools in Colombia; we're only able to practice writing and grammar, of course.
I think that we need to improve our education system, so we can improve our English speaking skills. In addition to this, I know that there are ways we can learn by ourselves: for example, we can use internet websites such as italki where we can find that person who can help us to improve.
In conclusion, Colombia needs to improve itself and look at the models of different countries around the world.

Hi imk, well, as a neo latin mother tongue I would say that you are not supposed to force your pronounce. Unfortunately many languages require, to be spoken perfectly, a certain mouth conformation and a specific ability to use the tongue in a certain way.
For example the italian "R" is, somehow, too hard to be perfectly pronounced by foreign speakers who, however, will never find anybody blaming them because they don't have a perfect accent

One of the biggest challenges for a Spanish-speaking English student is pronunciation due to the variety of ways that letters are pronounced, including vowels (Tengo el mismo problema a la inversa. Mi pronunciación es bastante malo porque uso las vocales como un estadounidense). I have had sessions with hispanohablantes where their grammar was great, but when they came upon a word like "aisle" or "luxurious" they had a problem. In my opinion, the best way to overcome this issue is with speaking.

The problem is that we are only taught English grammar and we never learn to speak English only to read.
