speaking problems
When I was starting to learn Hebrew, after my first year of study ( an intensive study) I started to use "language exchange". It was a very positive experience for me. ( It was not on Italky). I thank my Hebrew partner, he gave me a great opportunity for my further studies. My Hebrew level was low, but I had begun to speak, I was not afraid to speak, I was not afraid to make a mistake. Then I continued to study Hebrew using language exchange. ( Certainly, it wasn't my exclusive method, only support).
Many times I tried to repeat this experience with English study. But I failed. My problems with little vocabulary and fear of speaking remain. When I start to speak English I don't remember simple English words (I can remember only Hebrew translations).
I understand that there is Hebrew study in the Hebrew environment, but I haven't found anything in an English environment.
I can write and read simple ( and intermediate)) texts in English, but I can't speak a simple text in English.
I found an English podcast on my level and I listen to it every day, and I understand it without problems, even though I don't know all the words in the podcast. I found an English podcast with a higher level, and I can understand the "big picture", without details. But I can't speak, I am confused, I fear to make mistakes.
This text was written with a training goal, without a dictionary. Excuse me, It is not a lamentation.
