Difficulty Speaking English
Everybody makes mistakes in English
It wasn't the language that we spoke that created difficulties in communication, it was a lack of cultural context

Just for advice
— Relax!! Don't be in too much of a hurry
— Motivate yourself
— Set yourself achievable goals
— Try taking all opportunities of speaking in English
— Be grateful and shameless!!

Practical Suggestions
— Speak more slowly, so you have time to translate into English
— spending time with your nieghbors to Speak English
— when you speak English, try to think in English as well

Thank You very much…
