The good suggestion is - speak. You have something that a lot of people want, which is Chinese. Arrange conversations with native speakres and practice. You don't need a many, just one or two people you're comfortable with.

But also speak to yourself. Train your mouth musscles and learn how to pronounce words correctly.

Also you need to expand your vocabulary if you want to talk about different topic.

Reading out loud has helped me a lot too.

And be patient. Doing all of these above will pay off, I can guarantee you.

Best of luck ;)

Hey, you can talk to me

I'm proficient in English and learning Mandarin

Let's practice speaking English

All suggestion are wrong, if you are unable to speak you have to talk to yourself. Think about the smallest action you are doing and say it loud in English. To make this more challenging, record yourself. Keep doing this until you are confident to speak with somebody.

Hi Katherine.

If you are already able to speak a little bit of english my first suggestion is to talk it as much as possible, even if you are alone in the room or if you talk it slowly. Day by day you can improve your pronunciation skills and you connect brain with tongue in order to talk english fluently.

You can also sing english songs that you love, with this exercise you' ll help your language knowledge and you' ll learn new words too.

Tip: Improve the "known words" pool as much as possible. It will help you to talk it.
