I would have to say I am better at spoken over written. This is mostly because I get caught up in a thought and unless I really concentrate I usually miss the punctuation and things like that, but oh well Im not an english teacher so it does not matter that much to me.

One can always find ways to better themselves unless perfect I am no different. yet on the other hand I am ok with it I think the point is more important than a period.

Well, I am a Filipino and English is my second language.. Honestly, i am not fluent in speaking and writing as well.. you know, if given a wonderful opportunity I would like to enroll into an English program and be very good at it.. English is a universal language.. the majority can speak and write english..

it is my first language and i've taught tefl and esol for years. i can now speak spanish but i think i still make about 2 mistakes per word when i have a conversation. learning another language is fairly difficult but if your mistakes don't stop someone understanding what you're saying then don't worry too much about them.

You are making sense, i think i found speaking hard cos i dont like physical 1 on 1 communication. Even in my native language i mumble and jumble words, which i 'll attribute to not being social

I'm a Filipino and English is our second language. But, I'm not really good in spoken english. I'm not that fluent. Although, I can easily express myself using the english language. That's why I'm working now as a Email and Chat Support representative.

I'm a Filipino and English is my second major language. I'm working as a technical support agent here in the Philippines and at first, I found it hard to learn this universal language. However, I found expressing myself in English through verbal easier rather than written. It is because when you speak in English, you will tend to rely on how you will sound as where as in writing, you'll try to incorporate the rules of grammar and i find the last very hard.
