Good question - it's easy to hit a wall in the learning process and wonder how to get past it. General advice won't help much anymore, so here are some extra ideas: - Be brutally honest about your own ability, and work on finding and fixing your typical mistakes. This also means finding people who will give you honest feedback instead of only encouragement. Forget about "close enough is good enough"... that sabotages your progress. Make notes as you go. - Try expressing the same information in different ways. Look for synonyms and equivalent phrases. See if you can deliberately apply grammar rules. For example, I once had advanced-level students introduce each other to the class, using only second and third conditionals. - Try to copy styles in your speaking and writing: formal, casual, poetic, slang, dialect... see how the same information changes. - There's a nice little game called "Taboo" which is popular in language classes as well as being generally fun. Maybe you've come across it before, but if you haven't it's worth checking out. - Try other word games. Not only crosswords or board games like Scrabble, but also the games used in improvised theatre. If you can think of any word-games you use in Spanish, try doing an English version. - How long can you really speak for on a topic? Time yourself and find out. Again, try to work out what mistakes you typically make, and improve on your delivery, time and structure. - Record yourself and listen back. Or even better, video yourself speaking. Don't feel embarrassed... everyone else around you has already heard you. ;)
