Listening and Speaking. The best way to learn a language?
Hello everyone, I'm an italki beginner. I'd like to write some conclusions which i'm experiecing since a few months ago. I've always been studying english since I was younger. Studying regular leasons in a tipical language school, well, I realized that in all these years I was creating a basement, a strong basement i'd say, which allowed me to pass the current exams but didn't allow me to speak English fluently, with confident, without fear to make mistakes. About 1 year ago I started to see and listen youtube videos, I'm 31 now and don't study any language since I was 20 or 22, I realized that I could still understand the most of their content. Since then, I listen 1 hour per day of that videos (docs, learning language series, etc..) and nowadays I be able to understand in v.o. about a 80-90% of a sucessfull american tv show called "Breaking Bad", I supose somebody heard about it, lool!
But there's a problem. I continue with the same fear to speak when I was younger. That's the mani reason because I decided to be part of italki. To help some people to fight this fear and to try to win my speaking fear too!
So here I go!
thanks to everyone, I need lots of corrections in my writting too so I'm openned to learn!
