How can I boost my English learning journey?
Hi. I've been trying to do whatever I have to do in order to improve my English listening skills. I've been watching TV shows, I'm always surrounded in the language. I speak everyday in English. But still I feel I need to do something else.
I'm trying hard to learn English. I'm pushing myself to the next level. What is the best way to learn common phrases? Even though I'm able to have a conversation in English, I don't feel comfortable yet.
Yes, when I look back I feel very happy because I know I've done a great job so far.
What do you recommend me guys? Do yo think I need a language partner? If you know good ways to learn a language faster, just let me know.!!!
Have a good day.

It's true that when I look back I feel very happy because I know I've done a great job so far. (Note: very isn't wrong but native speakers won't really use it in the phrase "feel very happy". Don't ask me why, it's just one of those things that non-native speakers say a lot in English but we say very rarely.)
What do you recommend to me guys? Do you think I need a language partner? If you know any good ways to learn the language faster just let me know.!!!

Great job by the way. You really have a good grasp of English... of course speaking it can be a different thing entirely but immersing yourself in it is the best way that I know of.

Hi Olga, Yes, I'm living in the USA. I've been living here for the last 8 months. I speak everyday in English because in my workplace nobody speaks Spanish. I'm listening to podcasts, watch TV shows in English, etc. But still I think I need something else. Probably a Language Partner would be and awesome idea but is not easy to find one. Thank you for writing.!

Hi Fernando, have you tried to speak with native English speaker? Do you have Language partner here on italki? have you ever learned English in the English speaking country (UK, Ireland, Australia...) I took lesson from italki teacher, he said i'm good at conversation and recommended to listen to podcasts, talk to native speakers and to spend not less then 30 min every day. I had similar question to him, so I think this recommendations could be applied for your situation

Hello Fernando, I can see from your entry that you have a fantastic grip of the language! To answer your question, I think the only way to learn the everyday phrases is to talk to a native or live in a country in which the people speak English. If you are interested I can prepare a list of the phrases I use on a daily basis and we can have a chat? That usually helps people pick up that final bit of fluency that you are looking for. Check my page, and let me know if you want to do a lesson!
All the best,
James.
