Dear Akidon!

- Your questions are pretty hard to answer. I think I'm not good enough to give you some advice. But to be honest with you and to my own experience, there are some ways that you can speak English well. As some Teachers mentioned earlier. you can improve your speaking English by watching English movies with English title below the screen, you should speak along when they speak. If you find some cool sentences, just write down, and practice speaking.

- My English was very bad in the past. I tried my best and tried many ways to speak good English. Every Sunday morning I often go to the English Speaking Club, talk to native speakers or non-native speakers about many topics. If your English is not good, they will correct you. I even practice speaking English when I'm having a bath or when I'm cooking ( you may think I'm crazy, but that's my own way). I even often imagine many different daily conversations, and how to say in those situations. If you're not confident with your sentences, just post your questions on this forum. You can also improve your English by reading English jokes. Just practice, practice and practice.

- I hope I have helped you a little. Good luck! and never give up!

Best wishes,

Stevenukd
