well first of all. i seem to have a lot of problems with coming up with sentences or forming sentences in general. for example when i'm talking to americans or whatever i usually don't really know what to say. but i fully understand them!! and when i'm about to say something. it's almost as if i didn't know any words.. like. i don't know any other english words other than the basic stuff. how can i improve?? please help me. thank you

Put yourself in positions in which you have to speak English a lot. Do you live in an English speaking country? If so, then go to social events. No? Go to events in which speaking English is the point (like language cafes, etc.)

And please use capitalization when writing :)

the capitalization thing is on purpose. i'm so sorry!! i don't capitalize words or use commas. it's how i type

this message was edited and here is why: i am very sure that the name of what i do is called "typing quirk". and that's what i do yes!!! thank you!

Doing that won't help you with your English, but ok, penguin of doom.
