How did you learn foreign languages, my fellows?
I really want to know how you get to be fluent in speaking. Please let me know ㅠㅠ
In Korea, most people who learn English focus on reading skills. I have to admit that in EFL environment, we have few chances to talk to foreigners and use productive English. Reading the texts and learning new infomation from the developed countries might be much more important back in the era when Korea was develoing. However, as Korea gets to better off, it is getting more and more chances to come across foreigners and speak out our own thoughts. So, English education also have to center on the communicative ability.
To be honest with you, me, who is struggling to become an English teacher, isn't equipped with the high grade of communicative competence. That's because I learned from the focusing-reading soil. I was't exposed to a whole lot of expressions that could be use in daily life. Whenever I speak or write, I kind of make up a new expressions that no natives would like to use.

*when you use fellow, you generally have to follow it with another noun. so my fellow students, my fellow coworkers, etc.

*My understanding of grammar isn't that strong so I can't say if this sentence is grammatically correct but as a native speaker, it sounds a little awkward. you may want to change it to something a bit simpler. "To be honest with you, I'm struggling to become an English teacher because I'm not equipped with a high grade of communicative competence." If you send me what you wanted to say in Korean then I could try to more accurately translate the sentence.

a lot of native speakers don't know about grammar rules. even simple ones like what the difference between a noun and proper noun is. we learn them in elementary school but they're all quickly forgotten. Honestly, native speakers just speak through experience. We don't really care about grammar rules when we speak, we just think about what sounds natural and easy. And getting a feel for that just comes from listen to hours of English everyday. So try not to focus too much on the actual grammar rules. I know this advice is very vague and uninformative but just keep listening and speaking and eventually you'll get a feeling for it lol. Watch a lot of movies and listen to the characters. Listen to how they say things and think about how you would've said it. Sorry for the long post haha
