Speaking Problems?

Question

Being from Argentina, my native language is Spanish, but I love English. I started learning when I was six years old and I can't stop finding it wonderful. I always read long books in English and watch TV shows and videos. I even say English words when talking in Spanish because I almost practically think in English. The thing is that I always get stuck while speaking. When I have to say something to somebody I have to think and rethink the sentence for like a minute before it gets off my mouth. Although, when I speak being alone (both inside my head or loudly) I can formulate complex sentences without making a single grammar error or trying to remember a word for some seconds. Please, could somebody tell me how I can improve my speaking!!! PS: Let me know if EL&U is the right community for this question.

Hi! It sounds like you need to have some practice with speaking English. Being a recent graduate of getting my TEFL certificate, I could potentially help you work on this if you would like. You can always practice by yourself by reading a list of questions out loud, then replying out loud as fast as you can and see what pops out of your mouth. Practice always makes perfect and I know that you can get better!! :)
