the best way to improve is speaking to your foreigns friends (if you have some), or watching/listening to movies or music with english text!!

Hello katelyn. It is true that there are more chances if you are still a student at school with foreign teachers. But I think that you can still have a way out by installing Skype to invite some people as your online friend and then you will have the chance for voice chatting. Or try to see if there is an English corner in your city. The more we speak, the better and more fluently we can speak. I wish you good luck, katelyn.

I think all that you need to do is, practice more speaking English with your friend, so i think you will soon be fluent in English again. Actually, speaking English is same like you practice speaking your own mother language. The more you practice to speak everyday, the more fluent you are in it. So, start practicing now, and hope you will be able to fluently speaking English like your university time again.

Sorry, where are you from? You can join a public speaking group or keep practicing with your friends. Just speak naturally, don`t be afraid of making mistakes.

It is easy to find a chance to practise your spoken English via the net. You can easily find a chatting room and you can choose anybody to speak. English has become to the global language. I love China

hi katelyn have you some friends who are English speaking whom you can converse with in English to get practice? You have the fundamentals from your BA in English so you just need to practice speaking it. Also have you got a tape recorder that you can play English tapes in and also record yourself speaking good English? You will improve fast with a lot of practice.
