🇬🇧 🇺🇸 You can understand English but you can not speak fluently. Do you relate?
You are not the only one. In my case, I had a big problem when I started to learn English more focused. I was used to reading and listening in English but not to generating conversations. Maybe due to traditional language education…
But now, I am prioritizing speaking. Yes, I still going to traditional classes; but in my free time, I try to do active learning: doing writings and having conversations with native speakers or other students. I think that to speak English fluently we need to apply 30% input and 70% output.
How? We need to create new opportunities to speak English, because in Spain we do not have these opportunities frequently. Finding a language exchange partner, starting conversation classes or simply thinking in English for ourselves.
In addition, we can take advantage of AI to create conversations in English, study routines or practice your writing. There are a new world of possibilities!
⚠️ THE KEY: be constantly. Spend a little time each day practicing.
