I can't speak English I can’t speak English. It seems like a hard work for me. I always check myself on and recheck several times before sending a message or make a note in my notebook. I really enjoy reading books in English or watching movies and series, but I understand that’s not enough if I really want to speak English. I’m waiting for a signal or something. It sounds stupid, I know! Nevertheless I think if my vocabulary is larger or my grammar is better, I’ll be ready to chat. I’ve tried to communicate in English. I felt so exhausted like I’d been working hard rather than had a nice and friendly conversation. That’s idiotic, but I really can’t manage it. What do you think? Do I need to keep trying or maybe I’m not ready yet?

I can't speak English

I can’t speak English. It seems like a hard work for me. I always check myself on and recheck several times before sending a message or making a note in my notebook. I really enjoy reading books in English or watching movies and series, but I understand that’s not enough if I really want to speak English. I’m waiting for a signal or something.

[Very good. Your written English is quite good. Conversational proficiency usually comes last when learning a language.]

Hi Yulia, I believe that we are in the same situation about learning english. I have any partners who we are talking by skype. Have been profitable. You could try it.

I'd also add that reading books aloud and talking with a language partner or a teacher/tutor can help a lot. Best of luck!

Thank you, Romen. I've never heard about these courses. I've been listening to ESL podcasts for years. I love "English cafe" a lot. It's all about American culture. Do you think it can work?

As a learner I'm going through the same process as you are. And I'd recommend using the same approach that @Radhi mentioned, however doing this with comprehensible audio materials rather than difficult movies or TV shows. There's a lot of programs out ther, and I'd recommend two that I've been using for years to improve myself. And there are: 1) Effortless Engslish (you can get it for free, just do a google search) 2) Master English Conversation (this one I couldn't get for free though) By doing one of this courses you'll feel a big change in your English progress (both listening and speaking) Good luck.
