hey there. I'm a learner myself, so don't judge me too harshly. One the best way to improve fluency, in my opinion, is listening to something that you can understand repeatedly. But not only that. You could pause after one sentence and repeat what you've heard. Let's say there's a scene when the actress said 'Putting away groceries is like unwrapping presents from myself'. I then pause and go to the kitchen and pretend to be pulling groceries from a bag and repeating the same words. That way I connect my actions with the meaning in my head. It may seem odd, but really helpful for me to achieve basic fluency.

Hello Suki, You need to have the words ready to use in your head, it helps if you know the topic of conversation before you start then you can refresh your memory. The other big suggestion is practice, if you only practise speaking once a month your speaking will not be as good as if you practice several times a week. It is normal to be nervous at first but the more you try the easier it will get. Hope this helps Bob
