I can read & understand perfect English but my problem is I struggle when I have to speak it.
I speak English at work almost every day but I usually talk about the same monotonous things that don’t push me out of my comfort zone. Sometimes I challenge myself by practicing complex topics at home to see if I’d be able to speak fluently without stuttering too much.
I’ve tried to avoid using filler words but it’s hard not to when I’m inside my head searching for words. I’m hyperfixated on improving my fluency. I feel pressure to speak fluent English whenever I have the chance to speak. My MAIN problem is structuring my sentences.
I’d say I’m C1 writing in English but B2 when it comes to speaking. I live in a Hispanic country and my chances of speaking English are nearly zero unless I’m at work.
Is there a way I can overcome this?
