How often do you get the opportunity to speak? Lagging behind in spoken language is not uncommon. Many people worry about their grammar when speaking instead of concentrating on getting their message across- don't let worrying about mistakes inhibit you. Making mistakes is part of the learning process.

Hi, Richard !
How are you ?? I have missed you all !
You are right: making mistakes is part of the learning process, and I should add that this process can take a very long, long time. I have been learning English since long - almost a life time - but I still make mistakes; most of the time I am aware of the mistakes when I make them; my ear warns me when something goes wrong.
In my opinion the best way to improve one`s skills is moving to England !:) A joke, or not. For me, it is a dream - to visit England, some day; or, at least, London and the university of Bath !:)

Kind regards,
Teia

Say: "I am good at reading and listening but not so good at speaking English."
