I thought I knew English I always thought that I knew a lot of English, but that's not true. In my professional career I had been used the English principally to send emails. In one occasion I had to take a training for fifteen day totally in English. That was a big problem for me, because I didn't used to listen and I didn't have the vocabulary to do it. En many occasions I can understand what people say when they talk in English, but I have a big problem, I don't know how to response. I'm not comfortable talking in English, I know my biggest problem(and o think to others) is the fear that the other people laugh to us. I have one month studying in a English institute in my country and I think I have learned a lot. But I don't practice speaking with other people. Can you help me? What can I do to improve my English skills? Is anyone here that would like practice your Spanish with me and me practice my English with you? I'm ready to do it. If in this moment is difficult to me talk person to person. I want to try via Skype. And I want to help other people with Spanish. Appreciate your time. Best regards. Jose Morales
