Hi there, princearora!
 
It's always difficult to find native speakers to practice with, especially if you don't live in a country where English is spoken everywhere. If you can't find any native speakers, why not practice with other students? If you have friends who are also learning English, why not talk to them?
 
You can also talk to other learners here on LearnEnglish, in the comments sections below each article. Please remember, though, that our house rules  ask you not to share or ask for personal information, including Skype. This is to protect all our users!
 
Enjoy your stay on the site,

Regards

Hello abdulmalikkhan!
Glad you find the site interesting! Unfortunately, our house rules ask you not to share or ask for personal information, including e-mail. This is to protect all our users. We are working tofind easier ways for you to talk to other students,though!
For most learners, it is easier to find other English students to practice speaking with than it is to find native speakers, especially if you live abroad. Why don't you join some of the comment sections of our website? Other students will be happy to practice with you!
