The timing when I should begin speaking traning (スピーキングを始めるタイミング) These days I feel like getting used to English only when I've written English sentences. Nevertheless, I thought that my English ability wasn't up to the standard to speak. But I found the following video today. (Around 3:17) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkbCG2SnAZY Guys say "'Can I have a humburger as well?' is cooler than 'Can I get a same one?' You are cooler just adding 'as well'." This video was so silly that it made me relaxed. So now I want to begin the speaking traning soon if there is a chance! 最近私は英文を書くことで初めて英語に馴染んできた気がします。けれどもスピーキングの練習には私はまだ達していないと思っていました。しかし、今日以下の動画を見つけました。 「Can I get a same one?よりCan I have a humburger as well?の方がかっこいい。as wellを付けるとかっこいい。」と言っています。この動画はあまりにもバカらしくて、気が楽になりました。チャンスがあれば近々始めたいです。

The timing when I should begin speaking training (スピーキングを始めるタイミング)

These days I feel like getting used to English only when I've written English sentences.(better to say: These days I feel that my English language exposure is only when I write English sentences.)

Nevertheless, I thought that my English ability wasn't up to the standard to speak. (why?)
But I found the following video today. (Around 3:17)

The Guys said "'Can I have a humburger as well?' is cooler than 'Can I get a same one?' You are cooler by just adding 'as well'." This video was so silly that it made me more relaxed. So now, I want to begin the speaking training soon if there is a chance!

Note: your writing is actually good!! so if you start speaking now you will have more fun with the language... :) 

Good luck !

Oh, I really appreciate your help! I almost memorized the wrong sentence. I want to be able to use accurate business English, so I always watch slightly academic English speaker videos. But the video which I wrote yesterday was something like a comedy. I felt better after watching it lol.

Hi Kai, Actually, there is a mistake in this video. "Can I get a same one?" is NEVER correct. It is very strange, and if it is included in textbooks, as the guys in this video suggest, then those textbooks are wrong. Perhaps they meant to say "Can I get the same one?" or "Can I get the same thing?" which are perfectly fine. But yes, "Can I have a humburger as well?" possibly sounds more natural. I wouldn't say it's "cooler" but it's more natural.
