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

I am in a similar situation here. If you ask me, if your communication follows all the hard rules such as the wording order follows consistency and if what you say adds up, that's what matters. Other than that, just try to improve as you go along. Talking to an AI (or me) might help.
