I am english learner, my written english is ok for communicating with people. 

However, my oral english is not good, i am always nervous when i am speaking to people in english and then starting to make silly stupid mistakes in words organise,grammar etc.   

i knew this site by my former classmate,who told me i could improve my english and made friends who have the same aim and interest in english from the whold world.

So, i am here, and really, i made some honest and kind friends our of china. I am so pleased about that, 

Finnaly, is there anybody can advise how can i improve my oral english? 

 thanks buddies !

Watching American movies and TV News with subtitles is good way to practice listening to oral English. If you use Skype and talk with a native English speaker, record your conversation so that you can listen to yourself speaking. I save audio of most of my Skypecasts. Eventually, I will make podcasts of them and post them. That may be useful, too. Feel free to come to my Skypecasts on the weekend. Just go to skypecasts.skype.com and search for WORLDMIKEL on Saturday or Sunday evenings. You can also find more from:

I think the best way to improve eng is to listen eng programs, news doeesn't matter whatever accent thay r.

& for remove nervuosness, stand in front v mirror n speak louder (U CN ALSO READ NEWS PAPER) n if possible then record ur voice n listen. May b few days u feel shy but after sme time u ll feel improvment in urself.

Nw the ball is in ur hand n its up 2 u that u play with it r through it out.

 GOOD LUCK

your problem is very common , many learners have the same problem as yours , but there are several ways to improve your oral English , First : listen to native speakers speaking fast , second stand in front of  the mirror and speak whatever comes to your mind . e.g how handsome I am Tongue out, think in English, when you say any sentence in your language say it again in English , read much , write your diary in Enlish .

Gradually your English will be perfect

  Wish you success
