Spoken English

Writting is not the best mean way to improve my spoken English, but I'm desperately trying to improve it, mainly for professional purposes. I speak my native language rarely, since I live abroad. So, I spend my days ranging between French and English. I have to admit that for me it is easier to speak French... I'm more fluent and I feel that I can express in more details my thoughts and feelings. In English, it is not the same, especially when people come up with unnexpected questions or remarks. Soon, I will have to give my first lecture in English and I'm quite excited and afraid at the same time. I know that if I prepare carefully the course will be good... the only problem is that students have questions... loads of them... Fortunately they are not native spearkers... but as a professor I'm really a perfectionist and self-demanding..

Hello, I don't think you have anything to worry about for your lecture. Your written English is very good. Most of the corrections are self explanatory I think. There were just some minor misspellings and some missed words. The section that I underlined is because as native speaker would say it differently but what you said isn't wrong. I would say "I can express my thoughts and feeling in more detail." Other than that this notebook entry was great. Keep learning :-)
