give me information about it
Let's put it this way:
You can't spend more than you earn.
If you find speaking English difficult, it means you have not listened to native speakers enough. When you were a child, you spent years listening to your parents talking. Call it 'input'. When you have enough 'input', you will be able to provide 'output', simple like that.
If you spent your precious time studying grammar rules, doing as the teachers say (it does not matter if she/he is native or not), you are kind of blocking/hurting your natural learning process. It makes you think before speaking.
Some people, including some teachers, may disagree, but you need to follow this sequence:
1. listening.
2. listening and speaking.
3. listening, speaking and reading.
4. listening, speaking, reading and writing (now you may want to study grammar).
If you disagree, answer me: Did you mother give you a grammar book when you turned 2 years old? I guess not. Actually, I hope not.;-)
You all forgive my manners. I mean no offense, at all.
That's a main fad!as frequent as possible.

That's how I leaned Portuguese, my mother-tongue.Did you use this method?
You gotta see their face. Perplexed, "What are they talking about?" (3 seconds)Whatcha wanna do? (some people say this in less than 1 second):lol:
sup?
how ya doing?
I have been speaking with native english speakers for 10 years. I have been working with native speakers for past 6 years. I still find speaking is very difficult. I just started a new job two weeks ago I am quite sure my coworkers and even my new boss figured out that english is not my first lanuage. I have a thick and broken accent. I guess it is very diffucult to learn a new language when you are an adult. Kids can learn multiple languages at the same time but it takses time and patience for an adult.
Certamente o método que você usa precisa de revisão, 10 anos é tempo mais que suficiente. Não procure cursos, procure métodos mais eficazes e motivação. Não precisa ser um fardo. Precisa ter diversão.:up:I have been speaking with native english speakers for 10 years. I have been working with native speakers for past 6 years. I still find speaking is very difficult.

I am not sure about the right of imitating an accent. But I know if this is not your first language does not matter how hard you try you can only do so much about it. To me it is very important to speak clearly and slowly. Actualy if you are fine in reading and writing you should be fluent in speaking too. So it is not just speaking problem. I myslef struggle with writing a lot too. When I write a letter or any other official documents at work I become very nervours in case I make any mistake. I learnt english as a subject in school not as a communication language. I started with alphabet, words and then grammar. Later on I memorized somebody else's written paragraphs and essays. I have noticed people who went to proper school their english is perfectly fine even though english is not their mother language. So it depends on many different things.
