How to improve listening and speaking skills As the title, I am having problems with speaking and listening skills in English. When I speak, I hardly arrange words and sentences properly. They are just messy. In addition, when speaking, my grammar is terrible. I only use simple sentences and have basic mistakes in grammar. My ending sound pronunciation is also bad. When I speak, I almost forget them. It's better when I pronunciate word by word. Listening is my nightmare. When I listen, especially in tests, words seem to be stuck together and I can't find out the main point. Besides, I can't take note. When I take notes, I can't listen and vice versa. How can I take notes and listen at the same time? Would you please give me some suggestions to improve my skills?
