Need to speak English like native English speakers?

Hi mates, I'm Takehiko. Welcome to my blog. I'm glad to see you again. How're you doing? Anyway without more ado, I'm about to start today's article right away.
I've been learning & practicing English on my own every day, & I've realized it's extremely hard to speak English like native English speakers. I speak English in Japanese accent, & don't speak as fast as native speakers do. Plus, maybe my method of using English words & expressions are sometimes (or should I say so frequently?) not correct or appropriate.
From my perspective, it's normal that I can't use English naturally because I'm not a native English speaker & I'm still not use to English so much. Until I get used to English well, I should speak English carefully & I don't have to speak naturally & quickly in order to avoid making mistakes & misunderstanding. But I'm so sure after I get used to English once I definitely can speak English more fluently than now I do.
By the way, it seems to me that many Japanese people don't consider Japanese people who don't speak English like native speakers as cool, acceptable or brilliant. Besides this, they seem to consider speaking English in Japanese or other countries or areas accents as embarrassing & even awful or terrible. I'm completely not sure why they think so.
Personally speaking, English & other languages around the world are simply tools. The main purpose of using languages is to convey what you want to convey to someone, right? But not to speak so fluently & with perfect pronunciation, right? But don't get me wrong, I'm always thinking of improving my English skills & pronunciation, & trying to improve them barely as well as I can every day.
Anyway, that's it for this article today. Thank you for reading my article as always even though it might have been slightly (or completely?) confusing or terrible to read. To be honest, I hope for your consideration because I'm not a professional blog author. I'd really love to see you real soon again here. Until next time you guys, see you then.
