Hello :)

I'm new on this site, and I came here to practice my english - not because I need to, but because I've always been drawn to it. I can read anything in english and understand most of it. I make some translations on websites and I can even understand when people is are talking. But, somehow, I can't remember the words or what they mean when it's me who's going to use them. I've never practiced it properly. I have no one to talk to in this language, and when I was on in highschool the only thing they taught me was to say hello and other basic things.
I would like to speak fluently, and improve my grammar because I know it sucks. People could ("could" does work here, but I think most people would say "might") say that I should take classes, or study with textbooks, but it would be boring and I know I'd lose the interest on learning the language.

I am very shy and I've always been (This works, but usually people would say "I always have been"). It's hard for me to start a conversation - whereas they're whether it's with my friends or family or complete strangers. How am I supposed to talk with people I don't know in a language that makes me nervous cause I barely speak?

I hope I can find nice people here that has have the patience to deal with me. :) And maybe be helpful for those who want to learn some spanish. I'm not a good teacher though, but I'll do my best.

Excellent english, your grammar is really excellent. And I feel the same way about trying to start up a conversation in Spanish! Keep it up.
