Hola Christian. Describes perfectamente la manera en que he aprendido español. Un montón de leer y escribir pero hablar, no mucho.

I have been studying English since high school. What I learned in high school was very superficial and we didn't practice speaking, so it wasn't a good experience and I didn't learn very much. When I was in college, I practiced reading in English because so much information about biology (books, articles and papers) are in English. I also had English lessons where they focus on reading and writing. I had time to practice, but I felt a little embarrassed (so did the other classmate with whom I was practicing); for that reason, I didn't practice a lot when I was in college. One of my goals for this year is to improve my English, so I decided to practice everyday. I found this website online and I'm interested in practicing with native speakers. I don't see how I can improve my English without practicing [the last sentence is incoherent, so I tried to guess what the writer meant to say]. So, I expect that Italki will help me with my English as I meet new people and make new friends.
