    Hablar libremente.

    No conozco las  reglas gramáticales. Me gustaría hablar libremente, como aprenden a hablar los niños pequeños, sin estructuras gramáticales. De pequeños empezamos a hablar básicamente sin escuela ni expertos, aproximadamente a los dos años. 

    Escucho o veo, repito las palabras que a veces no sabía qué significaban. Además, escucho un programa de radio sobre fútbol donde los comentaristas hablan muy rápido. 

    Tres días atrás, fui a un restaurante mexicano en Moscú. Vi un baile tradicional sudamericano (la bachata, el merengue). Yo no sé bailar estos bailes. Me parecen muy hermosos. Yo veía gente hispanohablante y a un hombre le dije: ¡Hola! ¿De dónde eres? Él me respondió: Soy de Venezuela. Este hombre estaba en el restaurante. Él comía, bebía y bailaba. Fue una experiencia interesante. Sin embargo, la cocina Mexicana es muy fuerte para mi. Mis amigos y yo comimos quesadillas de pollo y bebimos tequila. 

    Pronto voy a ir a ver un partido de fútbol en el que jugará el equipo de Rusia contra el de España.

    Chris, thank you for your corrections. You know, when you write sometimes you don't realize about them, and later you wonder how was it possible to make such a mistake! I'm really glad to hear that you liked the article. Regards

    Stacey, I'm sure that "do a runner" is an English expression and native English speakers use it. Regards

    Wangxin, you're welcome ! I want to encourage you to continue with your learning. It takes time and effort to learn English but it's quite rewarding at the end of the day.

    Hi Dave. We change the context, but the meaning of this idiom remains the same: What people ( politicians, etc. ) really do is more important than what they say and it's better to judge them for their actions instead their words.

    Although I agree that listening and reading what you like is a good way to improve your mastery of a language, I definitely don't think that it's enough.

    Nowadays there's a trend that emphasizes "the natural way" of learning a language, which says that grammar, phrasal verbs, collocations, etc. are not really needed. However, my point is that they absolutely help to enhance your competence on conveying a message. Both approaches are necessary because each one has its advantages and lacks, so we should not refuse any of them.

    On the other hand, practicing speaking supports our fluency in spoken communication, so we also have to take it into account to improve our speech.

    Aunque me gusta mucho leer y me ayuda sin duda a aprender un nuevo idioma, cada día me convenzo más que escuchar es la base para realmente mejorar en fluidez. Hace tiempo mi aprendizaje se basaba mucho en leer, vocabulario y gramática, y a pesar de que creo que es muy importante, no le dediqué demasiado tiempo a escuchar, ver vídeos, etc. Ahora no solo es que reconozca su relevancia, sino que lo disfruto mucho más.
