I have an enigma
Hello everybody, i have a big question, and i hope that somebody know the answer to solve this Enigma...
Since i have started to learn English i have two different level of learning!
When i write, i haven't many problems... (But i often make many mistakes :P)
I think because when i write i have all the time to thinking the grammar rules and the words that i need at the moment...
But, when i try to speak english, well, the result's aren't the same!!
Of course, i don't pretend to get fluent in three months, but i would have the same level in writing and oral!
Anybody of you have the same problem?
How did you solve it??
Byeeeee guys :)

I think it is a common "problem" for everyone. When you speak, you tend to used the same words over and over, because as you said, you don't have time to think. Personally, I'm trying to improve my spoken english speaking as possible as I can and While I'm reading a text I try to memorise the most common expressions... and fix them in my mind.

Well, that's what happens to me until now, and I believe that we are not the only people to feel that way. As what you are, I think I do a lot better with writing and listening aspects of english, but when it comes to speaking, I have so much struggle to express my answer/response to the opposite, it was like the all the vocabulary i had just stucked in my throat and won't came out. And when it did came out, my pronounciation was just not clear enough in spite of all this time I learned those word pronounced in many movies or songs.
I believe it's because our lack of speaking practices. In my case, I just didn't have enough chances to practice my english with my surroundings, some people here in Indonesia still didn't notice the importance of english language, so I can only speaks english in certain places like in english courses. However if it's hard to find an english partner then we could also improve our speaking skills through self-speaking or singing english songs (in a bathroom lol), although both are less effective than having the real conversation. We just need more and more english conversation to improve our speaking skills.
Cheers, Giovanni :)

I have the same problem, and a rather hard form of it.
I think it's a quite common problem. When you write you can take as much time as you need to concider what you are writing, but your brain is limited in time when you speak. And to listen and to say - those are separate skills and they need a special training. Different parts of the brain are involved in reading/writing on one hand and listeneng/speaking on the other. Look at me: I can read almost anythig without significant difficulties, I can write (more or less, at least usually people understand what I write) and I absolutely can not speak and it's fine if I can understand half of what I hear.
