Mon but de mi-terme

My goal for the rest of the term is to speak french more fluently. I feel like I have been doing well in conversation because most of the time I get to plan out what I am going out say beforehand so I know the words I want to say and if I do not know them in french I have time to look them up. However even though this is improving my french I am still not at the level where I want to be which isn’t having to look up words or having to use substitute words. As well I want to be using “liasons” without even thinking about it. To get to the point I would like to be at I plan to really think before I say so eventually the “liasons” are second nature and thinking before I speak will help me remember vocabulary because it seems whenever I substitute a word I remember the real word after I have said my sentence.
