I'm sorry for foreigners, I never learned how to properly pronounciate my owl language. It's OK not to understand me, other natives struggle too XD

Accents as well. You can have the rain in Spain falling mainly on the plain as much as you want, but it's not going to help any foreign visitors to Newcastle or Liverpool.

Everyone I talk to says watch TV shows in the language, you get better at hearing and understanding more fluently, for my dad English was his second language and he gave me a lot of tips about getting fluent with a language. One learn all the swear words, avoid accidently saying them, and know when people are attacking you, let go of translating, gato isn't cat, gato is gato. Don't translate, that's a skill in and of itself that's very challenging to aquire. His brothers made fun of him for making faces on sounds, particularly sounds not found in his native language, don't avoid that, sink IN to sounds outside your language roll those rr's until you sound like your purring, hit those gutteral sounds hard, and soften those native sounds that don't belong. LET GO of feeling embarrassed, be a goof, say things you don't understand, make people laugh, you can't be precious about it. Dork it up! My dad still had an accent, but he was one of two out of his four siblings that had complete fluency.

I dont think i had this problem, but then again i had been learning a few years by watching movies and listening to songs before i met some actual English speakers. The benefit of a two way conversation is you can always ask them to repeat.

this made me realize how different learning is via lessons and immersion, i never had that experience when learning english since i did it by watching english media, it was just that one day it stopped being gibberish and started being language.

I can't even manage that in my native language.
