I tend to freeze up a bit because it takes me so long to think about what it is im trying to say. Obviously immersing myself in a Spanish speaking country would be the quickest route possible and I do intend to make my nest few holidays in Spanish speaking countries only.

Anyone have any tips for me? :)

Also I have not touched the subjunctive yet which I know is a really important part of Spanish. I am learning with more of a South American accent as well rather than Spanish.
Just start doing it and make it clear you want to learn from the people you talk to. I do this everywhere I travel and people really are very helpful when they see you are interested in trying.

In addition, I have Duolingo as well but not the dedication to keep up with it.
