I keep hanging out with American people and learning how to communicate naturally. I realize now that I not only get my oral skills improved but also have my socioculture developed. Even though I have not spoken like native English speakers yet, I know that I have made significant progress as now American people speak to me with the normal speech of rate. I also can more understand what they say without asking them to explain or repeat for me. Moreover, now, I can say what I want to say without taking a long time to prepare the language. I still feel that I am doing “translation” process in my brain when I communicate but I am sure that the process gets faster and much less than before. However, I realize that I still need to improve the pronunciation, the slangs, the phrasal verbs and slangs.
