Tip Of My Tongue

I still have a hard time finding the grammar structure and words I need during spontaneous conversations in Spanish.

That stuff doesn't come to me when I need it...it comes ten seconds after the person I spoke with has walked away! Right then, I know the way to express perfectly what I had wanted to say but couldn't manage on the spot. But late is, of course, better than never. It took work to progress to my current state, and I'm glad to be here and not still where I used to be.
