Questions for English language learners: What do you struggle with the most in regards to speaking American English with native English speakers? Is it coming up with words to say? Is it saying enough so you don't sound limited or be able to give enough variety in your responses so you don't sound repetitive? Is it phrasal verbs? Do you use them? Do you understand them? Do you know how many there are? What about your confidence? Do you second guess yourself when you speak English? Do you have a lot of 'ums' and 'uhs' when you speak American English? Do you repeat words and phrases? Do you have long pauses in between your words and phrases? Do you translate in your head before you say it? Do you depend on translating? Do you say the bare minimum which is only the few things you know how to say but if someone asks you to 'say more.' you'd have difficulty? Are you not really sure where you struggle? Have you ever had someone from the United States... a tutor or teacher really judge your speaking and give you feedback?

English language learners... Here's a question about a phrasal verb for shopping.

English language learners: Here's information for you! American English language learners that are wanting to improve their spoken American English.... Have you ever had a native English speaker born and raised in the US judge your spoken American English? Have you ever had them type to you the mistake that you said either a word or phrase not pronounced right or wrong sentence structure then type to you the correct pronunciation/word/sentence structure? Someone to listen to every sound you make as you speak to analyze the word choices you make and the order in which you speak your words to let you know if it's common to be said or natural to be said? Someone that will also focus on the amount of hesitation you have when speaking. How often you repeat words and phrases. To give you immediate or afterwards corrections. That way you know exactly what you're struggling with and what to improve on so you can become 'unstuck' in this difficulty that you're having with the American English language.
