To speak, to tell, to say, to talk.. What's the difference? Hi. Could you explain. what is the diifference between following vebrs: - speak, - tell, - say, - talk? Thank you for your help!

Why am I here? Hi. I've been studying English for a very long time, since my fourth year at school (but it was so carelessly). Recently (about a mounth ago) I've started to learn this language more thoroughly. I don't know, why it hit me, but I'm perciving strong need to do so. And as opposed to my prevous expiriense in learning, now it brinds me some kind of happiness and satisfaction. But there is the strange thing: while doing exercises I have almost no mistake (apart from articles :D), but when the going gets to the (a) real-time conversation (e.g. chating), I can't even say a simple sentence. I increasingly realize, that I need more live speaking with native English speakers, with feeling all this stress and a lack of time to make a sentence. And that is why I've registered in this site. I hope some of you wuold help me with learning and in return I could help you with your Russian. Futhermore, I'd be interested to found new friends in different parts of world and discover something about their homeland and traditions.
