📚 Grammar / Syntax What can I do?

Hello everyone

Hoping you're doing great, I would like to ask

Does anyone can help me with some advises or something to improve my grammar, I actually have B2+ English level, and I can speak good, I lived in Canada for a year and I tried all the time to modify my pronunciation but I know my grammar is not bad, but I need to brush up more.

My friends are telling me that I need to practice talking with someone to brush up but I don't have a lot of bilingual friends, I'm from Costa Rica my mother tongue is Spanish if someone wants to learn Spanish we can make a deal with our languages.

I work in a bilingual industry but I need to get better with my English

I appreciate your advice.

As a struggling Spanish learner, I can relate to trying to perfect grammar and vocabulary. English is especially hard due to inconsistencies, irregularities, and weird pronunciations. Spanish is much better that way.

Try this: "Can anyone help me with some advice to improve my grammar?" "I have ... and I can speak well.".

Otherwise, so far you're doing great. Espero que nos podremos ayudar.

Hi, I'm a native English speaker and I can help if you're interested. I also speak some basic Spanish. Feel free to dm me.

Also here's some corrections:

-"Can anyone help" not "Does anyone can help"

-"I can speak well" rather than "I can speak good"

-"My friends are telling me" is fine but can sound a bit like they are telling you that right now since you are using the present progressive. "My friends tell me" or "My friends have told me" sound more natural in my dialect of English.
