Hi,

I have been in U.S. for 4 months as an exchange student. My writing and reading skill are getting better, but my speaking still sucks.
I'm looking for a way to raise my speaking skill.
If you know one way, please let me know.

The best way to improve your speaking is to practice as often as possible. Talk to native speakers whenever you have a chance.

At first, don't worry too much about accuracy. Concentrate on your fluency.

When you feel confident and can hold good conversations, then start to focus on your accuracy. Try to be aware of when you're making mistakes - maybe ask a friend to point out your mistakes to you occasionally. When you know you've made a mistake, try to remember it, so that you can get it right the next time.

Thank you for giving me such a good advice.
I'll think more positive from now.
