I think the only sure-proof way to build on your speaking really is to... well, speak. Try conversing with others in English, it'll get better over time and your confidence will grow. | |

perhaps the transition from japanese to english is easier than german to english?

| | | 4 years,all our books in college were in english but the language of instruction was in japanese.that is why speaking is really a challenge for me,maybe my interest in american media helped me a lot.
i love females with german and russian accent by the way but my favorite accent would be the ones with that came from new york,oooh sexy.
