Welcome to my site. I am using this space to document some of my adventures. Hope you have a nice stay!
Language learning consists of four components: listening and reading (input) and writing and speaking (output). Input is all the listening and reading you do. It is all the language that you consume. Output is all the writing and speaking. It is all the language that you produce. Most people have a harder time dealing with speaking and writing. Learning materials made specifically for non-native learners make conversation sound clearer and simpler. The slang words, idioms, accents, fast speed and improper grammar are all left out, to make understanding English easier for you.
Maybe, you find yourself in a situation where you need to speak in English. However, once you actually have to start speaking, you become nervous, you aren’t sure of yourself, and your palms get a little sweaty. What might they think of you if you say something wrong, mispronounce something, or say it incorrectly? What if they don’t understand you? Maybe you don’t feel confident enough. Or, maybe it’s because most of your learning time is spent reading, writing and listening. Unless you live in an English speaking country or you have a conversation partner, getting plenty of English speaking practice can be a challenge.
“Never make fun of someone who speaks broken English.
It means they know another language.”
