[Talk] sigh.........

[JasmineSun (身體健康最重要)]

To tell the truth, it's really not that easy to have English speakers to talk with.
It's ok and I am fine with that but I don't get that why people prefer typing to voice chats. How can we expect to improve the English speaking without practice? I just don't get it. Or compared with practicing hard, it is easier to say that "my English is poor?" I even tried to have a chat with some speakers from different countries but they don't speak English fluently because they are not from English speaking countries. Sigh.......I really don't want to pay the money to go to " language centers" or
something like that on the net. OK, it's just my negative feelings and you guys may well ignore it.
