Why You Can Understand English but You Difficult to Speak in English

     Mostly of people that i met, sometimes were complained about "How come i can understand perfectly and understand everything everyone's saying? But when i try to speaking English, I can't speak at the same level". I received this question so many times all around the world and might be you have the same problem with it?. To be honest with you, when i was child i did the exact same thing in studied and practiced it. When someone speaking i am so proud of my self because i understand but when someone approached me felt just like totally blank and don't have any idea what to say. This is happened to everyone because you are only using your eyes and your ears, you did not practice it well. So that you have to do while watching and listening, you need to speak for the same amount to improve your speaking skills. This will help your speaking skills match your ability to understand English. As you have cellphone, you have computer consistently you have to listen such as English program, movies or podcasts that will improve your English better.
    Well first watch a video at least 5 minutes, you can choose how long the video is as you comfortable with. After that you gonna speak for 5 minutes about the video, you gonna speak about the amount of the video. But remember, you can memorizing what you saw. You can talk about my story time or anything take your time is okay and that is gonna be your opinion. What do you think about my story, what do you think about the lesson and again you have to practice speaking as much time as you can.
    Second is you are a lot of learning new words and expression through video and lesson, but you are not using them. For example you know a lot of words and expression from your teacher like they used to share stories which have a lot of words and idioms of the conversation, maybe you can try to catch up and explaining by yourself what was did they talked about? so that you can understand so much in speaking. The key is you have to consistently to learn of new words at least one new word, expression or concept every single day. Simple words are also okay and use them every single day. If for example you gonna learn 30, 31 until 35 words per day and the next day So on. You work so hard to learn and keep on your head and some days you stop. This is will not help or assure you in speaking. So if you know some words already but you are not using it it's kind of you don't know it, you need to use that in kind of conversation, just write down at least one word, expression or concept you have learned. Figure it out a way to apply what is going on your day then use the word in a conversation by talking to yourself or you can also describing what you saw around you. Like i use to say "Tiresomely Predictable" it's kind of long words to remember, and some days when you hear that words you gonna remember Oh that is what miss Erin say so i can say your listening skills are amazing and how to use that words in conversation, when your friends are discussing about movie you can say "Ah the movies are tiresomely predictable at the end of the story". We just need to practice it in real life in real conversation by speak out loud which is something related with your day.
    Third is you are just thinking about your day in your own language, this means your brain is mainly functioning in one language, for example we were talking about Twilight Movie in Indonesia language, that you have to do is convert everything you catch in the conversation in English with set aside 10 minutes and think about three main things you heard and then start describing or explaining them out loud in English.
    Fourth is easy to write down on the paper but they stay there, the book just close in the desk. This happened on me also when i was in university i did a lot of writing new words but seldom to open it up again, then i used to changed the way i learned because it will not improve our speaking. The key is pick a day once a week and make a note, read it and practice it daily out loud.
    I think that's all the point i need to say, just a lot of practice and choose the easiest way to make you remember all the things you have learned, so your English will improve faster. Have a good day!
