Can You Be Spontaneous in a Second Language? (Part I)

One of the biggest problems I found when I started learning Spanish was that I lost my spontaneity. I don’t mean that I was ever a living-life-on-the-edge sort of guy who would jump on a decrepit motorbike and head off to the jungle with a second’s thought or a look at a map.
Actually, I did that once but what I meant was that before learning a second language I tended to say things off the cuff and without spending 5 minutes looking at a dictionary. Once I began with Spanish I was restricted to saying stilted and repetitive sentences, which is something which really frustrated me at first. So is it possible to be spontaneous as you learn your second language?

If you think about the basic emotions you express when speaking in English then all you need to do is find the right expressions in your new language.
