Why is it so difficult to speak English fluently?

Hi! This is my first post and experience on Italki. I'm looking forward to meeting new people and to practice my English as a consequence.

Well, I've been studying English for 4 years. My listening and reading skills are quite good, but speaking and writing are so hard to for me! I would like to know if someone else has the same difficulty.

My reasons to  for learning English are because I love to travel, and it's a little bit frustrating not to be able to communicate with another travelers, since English is the most common language. As a long term goal, I want to obtain get a good TOEFL score to do my masters abroad. I've been searching in places like Portland (Oregon, USA), London, Canterbury and Canterbury (UK) and in countries that where English is not the first language, but the course is taught in English. I love new cultures that are new to me, getting to know new people, and living abroad again is a dream that I want to accomplish.

Please, fell free to correct my post and keep in touch if you want to practice Portuguese as well. I really appreciate your help!
