I'm struggling with the word choice when I speak. I've memorized a lot of English words for the test. If I passed that exam I would be able to read CNN and BBC news articles. That is the main purpose of this test for the English learners. They can increase vocabularies and put the grade of that test on their resume when they look for job. I've been increasing vocabularies but I got confused which words I can apply to my casual conversation, which words are used for writing or the formal conversation. My friend said I have trouble with word choice when I speak. How can I tell the difference?

Is there any way we can get in touch whether through skype or email? I would like to learn Japanese. I'm 15 years old and am desperate to learn Japanese. I can always try to help you with any of your problems with the English language.

I'm Struggling with Word Choice When I Speak

My friend said I have trouble with word choice when I speak.

How can I tell the difference?

Try to talk more with native speakers and listen to the way they speak. Or you can watch TV shows and dramas in English. For example, "want" is more formal than "wanna" in casual speech. Overall, good post!
