| We are all writing in english here for the most part but some of us aren't native speakers, so I got curious. How well can you speak english? Does your ability to write in it match your ability to speak it? It took me a lot of effort to get comfortable speaking english, although I knew how to write it already. Still I am not the best at understanding different accents other than the most common ones in TV shows. |

 I am a god Even though I'm a man of god My whole life in the hand of god So y'all better quit playing with god  |
| I've never scored above 25 points on the TOEFL speaking section or under 25 points on the writing section. Writing is definitely much easier for me personally even though I make mistakes all the time. |
| Not very much considering forums,social media are the only ones I can use it on since I live in a country that rarely uses the english language. Which is why I need to participate in these forums and other social media platforms, might forget how to put a sentence or two if I dont. |

| 100% fluent in English and Spanish. Considering that my parents emigrated to the U.S from Latin America and only spoke Spanish to me growing up... I take pride in my flawless English and Spanish, and considering your average White-American can only speak ONE fucking language (barely sometimes), yeah, it feels great. |
| Far more fluent in English than my native language. I didn't even speak in a colloquial manner until I reached secondary high school. A certain friend used to make memes out of the way I talk lol. |
 |
| lol my english skills is bad both written and speech and im too lazy to improve it because its not something i want to do |

I can write, although I'm not actually too good with languages that aren't my mother tongue, watch English movies, read English subtitles and books... but as soon as I should express my thoughts verbally, my mind goes blank and bounces back to the basics. Speaking and writing have always been two different mediums of communication. You do get rusty without use for a while. Happens to immigrants too who hasn't spoken their native tongue for years and has since defaulted to the spoken language there. |

ai dun rili fuwen in english, tog mai engrish is jas fain. plis tiece mi e gud english, mina~ |

| At work I speak english most of the time because I work with people from different countries. I would say my english is average for a non-native speaker. Enough to fluently talk and understand most of things others say. With my colleagues I speak german, and at home only russian. Also have friends russain/german speaking friends so it depends on the situation/person. |
| I can speak as well as I write. Whatever this means is up to the reader. I scored well in TOEFL tests and I also grew up learning and talking english. Besides, I have an easier time with learning foreign languages than most. I do, however, have a harder time speaking other linguistic branch languages, such as romance languages. Maybe those telling they have a harder time come from completely different branches? |
 |
| I would say pretty good, outside of some grammar issues. |

| I'm German but I am very fluent in English. My fiancé is from Norway, so we speak English to each other. Sometimes there are some English words that I don't know yet, but I can easily ask for the meaning of it and find the definition without it having to be translated to German for me. |

| I'm a native English speaker, so I hope I'm fluent in English. The only other language that I have conversational skills in is "Dragonian," which is a language that I constructed. I gave up on the idea of studying a second natural language to fluency, because I don't have the discipline to study, and I cannot grasp the idea of things like grammatical case and grammatical gender. |
 |
| [American] English is my native language. I have moments when I speak like English isn't my native language. |

Same, my mind went blank when someone asked me for directions the other day. I couldn't say a word for some reason and that's considered a pretty basic conversation. The worst thing is that everyone expects my English to be flawless which for obvious reasons isn't the case. |

| English is my first language so very fluent. I did use to speak Cherokee quite a bit when I was young but now I don't even remember a single word from it. Currently, im learning sign language which is really fun btw. |
Sad times. Just so you know, my non-native english speakers, even if you sound mangled, I respect the hustle. I myself am a mere monolingual. So you automatically win. I won't judge. Unless the accent is cute, in which case, I'll judge positively. |
| I haven't taken a TOEFL test yet but I'm pretty good I'd say. I've been told I speak eloquently before and I honestly find it easier and more comfortable to articulate myself in English than in my native language. |

I did a course in it, it was pretty cool especially to talk with new people/friends, an easy way to bond |

| Writing? Talking? both? Writing, im Basicly fluid. altough i make mistakes, i am human. Talking, When i played alot of games i was alot more comfortable speaking than i am today. Yet i can speak for hours on end, it's just that im missing dialect and its sound off, when i talk(atleast in my head). Other than that i can mostly do them Fluently. But i would prefer putting some more skill points to talking Aspect of things. |
 |
| I've got no problem with reading or understanding English, but man, I struggle to express myself, either it's writing or speaking in English well, I'm also a disaster when it comes to speaking in my native language, I guess it doesn't help |
| My toefl score is pretty decent above 550 and recently I took an english language coefficient test for work i got a solid 8 point something as a score. Even though I could say that I made a mistake here and there, but yeah can't help to avoid some mistakes. |
 **ā¾** |
| It's my native tongue so yeah, I'm fluent in English. &++ considering where I currently live, I'd be toast if I wasn't lol |
| I'm fluent in english it's my first language Plus, where i live it's an official language. |

| Not as much as I'd want. I can read, write and undertand English fairly well, but when it comes to speaking, I'm not that good. I'll fix that tho xd |

BrightFlashLight said: Not a native speaker but I am expected to speak english as a national language here. Alas, I will never be as good as my westerners brethen who will dig at my poor language skills because they are the true master of the language. I can only humbly nod my head in reply. Poor me. if a native English speaker makes a dig at your less-than-perfect English, just ask them how fluent they are in their second language. |
BrightFlashLight said: Nithirel said: if a native English speaker makes a dig at your less-than-perfect English, just ask them how fluent they are in their second language. Haha, I know about that. But they could be good at their second languages for all I know. Not saying that I have to poke back. To be honest, it's really more of me telling imaginary stories from the 2nd statement onwards, but I guess it does happen to other people. They definitely could, but from my experience (as a native English speaker), they are far and few between. |
| I'm a native English speaker. It's actually the only language I'm able to use in conversation although I know some Spanish, German, and can now recognize some Japanese thanks to being a weeb. It seems to me that a lot more non-native speakers speak English far better than some native English speakers I've interacted with though. |
