I mean most people of this forum arent from the US or have english as their first language but are very good at speaking it.

But in real life i am surprised when i meet someone that can speak fluent english tho it seems so easy.

Am i the only one that experiences this?

well i meant in school, i mean u are 27 so i guess it was long ago that u were in school so..
i even go to a gymnasium and 80% of people in my class are low iq it seems
 
It's common. A lot of people have perfect writing but they stutter really bad irl, it's because they're speaking and thinking in their native language 24/7, You need to get used to it.

How do you know how people on this forum speak English? Did you hear them? Writing and speaking are 2 completely different things

not talking about accents, more knowing the language, grammar, words, sentencing
 
I have an awful French accent.

I screw up my words irl a lot of times too especially in casual conversation. Because speaking involves listening, social skills and proper timing. Things that people might screw up because of anxiety, brain lag or any other human failure. That’s why writing is so much easier because you’re not put on the spot and can think ahead about what you’re going to write.

Speaking with charisma and fluency is a skill that not many people have even in their own native language

when you grow up using the internet, you start learning English fluently

I learned english by posting on gamefaqs and 4chan obsessively when I was a teenager. Learned vocabulary playing N64 games with a dictionary (Zelda OOT and MM mostly) when I was a kid. Watching videos from midwestern american youtubers (easiest accent to understand imo, for example AVGN) helped with comprehension skillz. I'm lazy and finding pirated movies in Italian is a pain (also Italians are retarded and flock to those shitty streaming sites), while torrenting movies in english was easy.

Literally never studied it. I probably also had very high iq when I was younger, but I feel pretty retarded pretty often nowadays.

People from English-speaking countries tend to speak dogshit English considering the fact that it's their first language. Swedish people are the best second language English speakers though people from Stockholm have strong accents tbh.

Fuck Yeah, they spend all of their time watching Sports programs all day, while women spend their time talking about "feelings" all day.
Of course they grow up like monkeys.
