I know a lot of vocabulary and I read a lot of movie scripts to inforce my language ability but when I speak to a native I feel that I cannot remember very easy words I already know. What can I do?
Speaking isn’t the same as reading or listening. It sounds as though like many people you aren’t getting enough speaking practice. The knowledge is there, but you need to bring it out and become comfortable using what you already know. It sounds as if you get the opportunity to speak to native speakers, so work with that. If you have some native speaking friends, ask them to chat with you about the films you so obviously enjoy. If that isn’t possible try joining PalTalk and see if you can meet some native speakers that way.
