English is a good language but there are some difficult situation that we can face to improve it, first of all trust yourself, be confefident is good key to be a good english speaker because if u don't trust yourself no one is going to do it. that's why be confident is the key to believe that u are speaking english with sense.another important tip is try to understand that english is different culture and the way that we speak it, it's very important too, so u can not traslate everything that we think in our mind, cause it's difficult for others understand what do u want to let them know, noticed people follow pattern in every language to express idea, feeling , information , opinion etc. So every country or language has it own way to express it.Why people have been learing english for a long time and their english don't sound very good?Because, we don't trust ourself, don't think that have the enough information in our mind to keep a good conversation or be understood.it already happened to me and i hope it won't happend to u, perhaps i can follow my own advice too, to be a good learner english .
I used to meet a guy whose english is not so good but he's really confident. He just spoke slowly, used basic vocabulary, and sometimes had to look up his dictionary to find the suitable words in English. His lack of vocabulary could never be a barrier. Each time he looks up the dictionary, he will know one more word and after using it in speaking he will remember it.
For unconfident people, they may just give up the conversation because they dont know which words to use. But as you said, they actually have enough words in their head. So just be confident and speak.
World, I do agree with you. I also think that the older we are, the more confident we are. I was not so confident ten years ago and hard to say, if my English level was the same. However, only by talking to others on Skype or in real we can overcome this obstacle. Being passive and siting in the corner won't solve this issue. So my advice is ... be yourself, guys and don't hesitate to speak becuase speaking is very important part of English too!
You are right. I have seen so many whom their english is like me but they have more confidence than I do. When I listen to native speakers or read something in english I used to say myself can I talk like them or if I wanted to write could I write in the way the native did? I need more self confidence.
Interest was built in me to know a new language, (it's become my need and interest both, my job depend upon English.......No English, no job, at least for me).
Consistency made me read and read and read more and more and more by doing so confidence was built in me. I never felt shy in using new words in my prose. I, though unable to do poetry in English (neither in my native), but I am able to garnish my prose in poetry. My readers might have that experience. I still try to write. When I write I take a look (sometime I do not) and think how can I change this word for a better one (though the word serves the purpose). I am not perfect in English, but I am not disappointed.
