The problem is my speaking skill I have struggled against my poor ability to improve my speaking skill for three years. At first, I imagined I would feel the greatest difficulty in improving my listening skill. But, in reality, it's not listening skill but speaking skill. Particularly, I'm bad at speaking in the conversation. Alternative and instant speaking action is very hard for me. I'm short of time to think in English, talk to myself in English in daily life. I guess I have to spend more "awkward time" permitted to use only English everyday. Maybe I shouldn't avoid feeling frustration aroused when I'm forced to use only English. There might not be fun way to become fluent in English. It's tough to keep self-confidence.

say skills with an s instead of skill

and you don't really need the word aroused after frustration.

But you're doing a great job!

I personally think it's natural that one's speaking ability is somewhat behind their listening ability because when we learn a new language, we learn it through people who already understand it and can use it properly. So, we develop our listening ability first. Also, listening is comparatively a passive action, whereas speaking is an active action (well, feels weird about my English here). In fact, I was able to improve my English listening comprehension just by listening to people (or maybe this is not the case with everyone), however I needed (and I still do) to actively seek ways to build up my vocabulary and to have a good command of English grammar to speak fluently. But then, your English seems really nice especially in the vocabulary and grammar..... so, I'm assuming that your speaking is also good? Wonder how harsh you are on your English :)

The problem is my speaking skill

I have struggled against my poor ability to improve my speaking skill for three years.

I have been struggling with my ability to improve my speaking skills for three years. (If you are experiencing something currently, the second verb will usually follow with an -ing ending.)

At first, I imagined I would feel the greatest difficulty in improving my listening skill.But, in reality, it's not listening skill but speaking skill.

At first, I imagined the greatest difficulty would be improving my listening skills. In reality, it's not my listening skills but my speaking skills. (Do not use 'but' twice in a sentence or in conversations because it is improper. Skills can be singular or plural because you can have more than one problem. Since you are having problems with speaking, is it because of pronunciation, accents, grammar or others?)

Particularly, I'm bad at speaking in the conversation. Particularly, I'm bad at speaking. (Or you can say I'm bad at conversations. There's no need to include in the conversation because speaking and conversing are interchangeable.)

Alternative and instant speaking action is very hard for me. (Alternative and instant speak is very hard for me.)

I'm short on time to think or talk in English on a daily basis. I guess I have to spend more "awkward time" permitted for English everyday.

Don't get frustrated. You have passion and the drive from what I've read to want be fluent in English. Keep your head up. Research for the best tutors and identify what areas you think you lack or want to improve. Good luck.

Yes, I have tried skyping for language-exchange!
