In beginning most of us hesitate to speak, although we can write and can understand.
One of my friend can understand English, I mostly speak in English with him but he always reply me in native language. What should I do with him, which made him to speak in English?
Please give your opinion or which you applies/applied.
Thank you in advance!

Thanks my sister :)
Just like what everyone has already mentioned, there could be hundreds of reasons why people who are able to understand English won't speak it. And out of those, I think the main reason is because they just simply don't find the reason why they should. I mean, they are not compelled to speak it. When you talk to your friend in English, he is not forced to reply to you in English because he is conscious that you both have the same native language. But see what happens once a native English speaker approaches him. I bet he will feel obliged to reply in English although he doesn't feel comfortable to do do so. The same thing in school. When taking English class, more than likely, a student is required to talk in English during the class to be able to pass.
I may be wrong, but I think your friend lacks the necessity to practice English with you because it's not compulsory, rather it's optional.
Thanks a bunch dear Ohnie. Oh...it's not optional for him but must.
