I really want to speak English like a native speaker, but I haven’t succeeded yet. Even though I learn 15 to 20 words every day, I still have problems when I need it to speak. The biggest difficulty is that I often forget words during conversations, especially when I’m nervous. Sometimes it’s very frustrating because I know these words, but they just don’t come to me when I need them. Also I’ve had dyslexia since I was a child, so sometimes I mix up words or pronounce them wrong, which makes me feel embarrassed. But I’m trying to different ways to improve my English. For example, I watch English TV shows with subtitles to hear natural speech. I practice speaking with my cousin who are also learning, and I record myself to notice my mistakes. I know I’m making progress because now I can’t have longer conversations than before. Maybe I’ll never speak perfectly, but I believe I can become much better if I keep practicing every day.
