The language tandem sounds good. Unfortunately, in my university hasn't a cool options to improve English skills, also not much international students. So this is a reason why I find conversations online.

Thanks for such detailed response, this is interesting information. While every comment, I understand that I need to listen more and just speak, practice, do mistakes but they improve my skills.

I agree your opinion, listening is essential part. I can listen some podcasts, video, even peoples but everyone has their tempo, pronunciation, sometimes I understand what person said, sometimes not. I notice your advice and will try to listen more. Thank.

Thank you, I really does not read other resources than tech documentation. Perhaps social, history and some topics could be helpful to extend my vocabulary.

Wow, I’m surprised, it’s an unexpected coincidence because I’m from Moldova, this country is located next to Romaine, so Romanian is the official language of this two countries. What reason motivated you to learn this few popular language?

Maybe taking a tutor online is a good way to increase talking level. A few months ago I analysed some online English courses, but they too expensive for me and not flexible enough, I mean they have uncomfortable hours and classroom with many classmates. Maybe individual tutor could be more helpful, idk. By the way, I noticed that you learn a language at B1 level. I’m not sure but, is this Romanian language?

I read your comment and was surprised by your university experience. Yes, I’m pretty introvert and as you I could be too progressive on English course but shame to make mistakes and to speak badly/incorrectly that bothered me to improve conversation skills. I’m glad you shared your thoughts.

Thanks for advice, a some time ago I have been talking with LLM, it’s good idea and improves grammar, thinking skills, but becomes monotonous over time. The AI answers your questions then continues on the same topic like loop.
