How can I help

The thing that actually helped me and this sounds embarrassing but was narrating to myself out loud when I was alone at home, like saying "okay I'm going to wash the dishes now, the water is cold" just small stuff like that, because I realized I could recognize English when I heard it but I wasn't actually producing it, and those two things are pretty different from each other. 😅
Great tip from linh_xoxo. Talking to yourself really works! Another thing that helps a lot is regular practice with the same partner, even just 20–30 minutes a week. In this group there are lots of people who want to practise English, so try writing a short introduction about yourself and what you'd like to practise. If you find someone on Linguar you'd like to talk to, send them a connection request, and once they accept you can chat with them.
A regular partner sounds very helpful, especially if you can talk about ordinary things and don't have to prepare a whole topic each time. I still rehearse sentences before phone calls, so it would be nice to practice a conversation where it's okay to pause and find the words.
