I studied English through video games, manga and anime. Now I'm pretty much fluent when it comes to reading and writing. But the speaking part is still very hard and I don't think I'm making normal progress, at this point my friends are way ahead of me when it comes to speaking. It's not that I can't speak it all , but when I try my stutter comes out in full force and I find myself unable to say things I have never had any problems writing. It's so frustrating. I just started Japanese and I'm having the same issues, that's what prompted me to ask for advices today
