Yeah.. I am from Bangladesh.
Our Country name originated from our Mother Language "Bangla" .. In Bangla language, "Desh" means Country.
Although the fact about the Biggest English speaking Country, more than 50% People from there and also from my Country can't speak fluently in English.
The knowledge of English I got is from a Private Tutor who used to teach English in a group at different times of the day.
It's not that he was bad teacher, but he wasn't the one who made me study English hard.
Actually it was a girl who I am in love with. To impress her, I studied English myself from "Advanced English Grammer" or "Advanced English Learner", something like that. Can't remember the books name.
Fill in the gaps (with clues and without clues), Narration, Tag Questions, Sentence Transformation; I used to study ahead of the group, just to impress that girl.
That's all.
I am still learning though. :)
It's OK, from my experience, people from England are terrible at speaking English. Sure it's their language but it has so much slang now, or they just don't spell properly it can be difficult to understand what they are saying.
Part of my job I deal with emails from India, England, and America and sometimes I have a hard time telling them apart because they can't really speak the language properly.
You however are pretty good with writing the language so you seem to doing the right thing when it comes to practice.

Haha. Thanks. But I am only good at writing.
I mess myself up when I try to speàk in English.

speaking a different language can be intimidating. Even I get nervous when I try to speak with my German friend, she would say something in German and then I just get very shy and can't speak it back to her.

Haha. I know that feeling. My friend speaks English better than I am.
He starts a conversation with me in English randomly and I barely can keep up with him.
I think you should try to talk back to her as much as you can. This will help establish your self-confidence and language skill.
