English language challenges

I can say that my experience learning English at college has been better than in high school, I think that writing paragraphs has helped a lot to improve and have better comprehension of the language and the different ways to say things so we can at least communicate with English speakers. I definitely need to improve my speaking skills, in my mind I can do it perfectly (well, almost) but my mouth doesn’t follow anything my brain says when I have to talk with another person, probably because I get nervous and forget everything that I know, I also have trouble with telling the time and I still get confused the days of the weeks. I usually use English, well, for the class… also when watching series or movies, I put the subtitles also in English so I can understand the words that I don’t know or when the accent it’s too strong for my understanding, if I already watched the series I turn off the subtitles so I can get used to it. I do the same with the music I listen to, if want translations I search for the English ones. Another thing that helps me and makes me use the language is being the family translator, whenever some instructions are in English they always call me to translate it or when watching online concerts, I have to translate to Spanish whatever the artist its saying.
