Who are the people you are communicating with in English? Who you communicate with when learning a new language has a tremendous impact with how well you can communicate yourself. If you're communicating constantly with people who are at an intermediate level of English, then you're going to be stuck in that level of English. I would suggest reaching out and connecting with people who can communicate at a higher level of English.
