Learning a language I have practiced English conversation on italki for few months. I have to admit that being good at reading is not equal to you can speak well. It's hard for ESL learners to know how to express their opinions in English. I can recognize words in article but I don't know how to use it when I was in a conversation. Besides, I want to now if there is any way to augment the amount of vocabulary. Sometimes things work out just the way you want.

I think there are some strategies which support none native speakers to master their oral skills"listening and speaking". Especially, practice with native speakers to correct your mistakes and show the techniques of using English vocabulary as possible.

This is the same for me with my French! I can read so much better than I can speak! I struggle with listening too, but practising speaking is the best way to improve!
