I want to speak English fluently but I can't.
I'm better at writing than speaking.
And first thing that comes to mind when I say something in my head is how I translate it in Englsih.
And I'm afraid if I make mistakes and stutter when I start saying.
I don't even know how to think in English at all.
When I read English, it's fine with me. But when it comes to speaking English is a whole lot different from that.
Please tell me how to be great with speaking English?

진희, 안녕하세요! I think it is natural to struggle when you start speaking a new language. Fluency is an ongoing process. Try not to worry too much about stuttering or making mistakes, especially when talking to native English speakers. We can usually figure out what you are trying to say even if it isn't perfect.
What I would recommend is a form of word-association. Putting note cards, or Post-It notes, on objects in your house. Write the names of the objects in English and a sentence or two about them. Whenever you walk past the object or use it, practice saying it out loud and thinking about it. For example, if you have a plant in your house, you might write a note that says "I need to remember to water this plant." Or, near a television, a note that reads "I wonder what shows are airing tonight."
I would also recommend "mirroring." Where you listen to a song or a watch a tv show in English and you practice your fluency by repeating(mirroring) the words or conversations. I've found this method has helped me in my Korean learning. If you have any books written in English you can try reading aloud. Since you already know what the words mean, you won't be thinking so much about what you're saying, instead, you can become more comfortable using the words. This will help you to recall them more readily when you need to speak in English.
I hope this helps! :')

Hi!
I suggest that you:
1- try to speak with friends in English if possible.
2- Change a certain sentence by replacing words.
for example the sentence: "I try a lot and will learn English fast"
You can change this sentence and make new sentences without translating
So you'll say for example: "I practice a lot and will learn Spanish fast"
