How to improve oral English?

Having studied English for about 10 years, I still found that I cannot speak very well and had difficulties to communicate with native speakers. Whenever I try to speak with those natives, I find it's difficult for me to find the exact words I wanna express my meaning. I am used to thinking with my mother tougue and translate them into English. This will take me long time to transfer. So there's always a delay when I speak in English. Actually, I think the vocabulary I own now is not bad. But I am still confused why the oral English is so hard to improve. I wanna find solutions to this porblem and I am searching for the answers. I wish I can speak very fluently one day. I am looking forward to learning from this website and finding a lot of friends to learn together and share our thoughts as well.

  • This article may help you! (I love how you say that you "own" some vocabulary now. ) http://edition.englishclub.com/esl-magazine/question-200911/
  • Hi Mandy! Don't worry you are not alone a language without practice is like carrying an empty luggage.
  • Hi expectorsmith,
    Thanks for your advice. I do think I need more practice. That's the reason I come here. I am eager to improve my oral English and hoping to learn from all of you. :)
  • Hi Mandy,
    There are many ways available to help you improve your speaking skills. Actually, I'm planning to add a blog on this topic. Writing can be benaficial to speaking.
    Having a wide vocabulary doesn't necessarily mean you can use all the words well. You need more practice.
    Good luck!
  • Hi, Mandy!

    I totally understand your frustration for your English improvement in speaking, but I cannot write everything what I really want to say here because it's too much and it might be repetitive, because I wrote my writings on my blog post concerning this similar subject. So please visit this below linked one;
