It is normal to feel a little nervous but immitating the tutor's accent is one of the ways to improve your accent and regular communication would make you feel more comfortable talking to natives.
Focus on practicing speaking daily, even in small amounts, to build confidence and fluency.
The best way to overcome this difficulty is to speak a lot and follow these points 👇👇 1- speak to yourself loudly 2- use what you know and what you have learnt 3- be sure that your sentences are correct(grammatically,intonation and pronounciation)

Hi there, one of the techniques you can use is" shadowing", by repeating what you hear and imitating what you hear, or checking up online dictionaries to look up vocabulary and phrases, or you can try to discuss films and topics you've chosen with English-speaking partners. You can use apps like tandem, good luck!
That's a common challenge for language learners! Listening and speaking are separate skills, and it's normal to have a stronger grasp of one over the other. To improve your speaking, try practicing with native speakers as much as possible, engaging in conversations, and recording yourself to identify areas for improvement. Remember, practice makes perfect, and the more you speak, the more comfortable and confident you'll become!
Find a partner to practice with her/him. You can also practice with yourself. Best, Fatima
Honestly your listening skill and the ability to understand what they say is great. You just need to practice mimicing them, thinking out loud and speaking in small simple sentences to build confidence.
To improve your speaking you need to be exposed to the language and do a lot of practice. You can practice on here with native speakers and get feedback. You can also practice alone by recording yourself, listening back and working on your mistakes. Both methods help build confidence and fluency. All the best on your learning journey!
