How can I improve my spoken English?

[greeny 4395]

I am a Taiwanese college student who major in foreign languages and literature. Although I have been learning English for many years, I always find myself at a lose when it comes to actually having a conversation with native speakers. It is not easy for me to express my thoughts in English appropriately. What are the best ways for Chinese speakers to improve their English speaking skills?

Hello greeny, and welcome to the forum.
There's no magic solution. Practice is your best bet. Try to practise speaking with your peers, friends or with native English speakers who may be living near you. Is there an English club/corner where you live?
