Question for students: Which do you find more difficult, speaking or writing when learning English

ive found with my students it can vary, some are stronger at speaking than writing and others are stronger writers than speakers. I suppose it varies from person to person

For my own experience i found that writing was a little bit challenging , however i took some time to read books which helped me a lot to overcome it . so give it some time and effort , because practice is key. 

I think students find speaking more difficult

There are several different reasons why it is much harder to master written English than spoken English. Indeed, compared to speaking,
" writing requires more adherence to the rules of grammar, is less forgiving of mistakes, and comes with more expectations and pressure."
