Yeah. I been looking for a few months for services to improve my English in a cheap/free way. Until now some Discord channels have been my solution to practice conversation, but it would be nice to have this kind of service to speak anytime about any topic.


for what its worth what you just typed is completely indistinguishable from a native speaker, well done


The advantage of typing is that I can erase and improve what I'm trying to communicate. In real time I struggle thinking about pronunciation and if what I'm saying is correct or understandable by the other person.


Have you tried playing online multiplayer games? I found I was able to learn how to “think” in another language much better when I was under pressure to communicate something quickly in real time. It’s easy to fall into the trap of always translating to/from your native language which isn’t the end of the world when you’re reading or writing but it makes for pretty awkward and stilted conversations.


Try tandem to find people to talk with, it's free
