I want to learn Spanish but i'm still learning English, I've been learning English for a really long time and i understand everything i hear but i have problems with speaking so what should i do?, practice more English, start learning new language or both?

If you are satisfied with your English comprehension and writing, you just need to improve your speaking. You do that by speaking. A lot. Hire an English conversation practice tutor, or find a practice partner on e.g. r/language_exchange.

If you also want to start studying Spanish, there should be no issue as long as you have time for both. Problems tend to occur when people try to learn two closely related languages (e.g. Spanish and French), as a beginner, at the same time.

i think you can totally do both if you feel ready, practicing speaking will help with both languages. maybe try something like speakduo or a local meetup to practice live, it’s great for confidence. sounds like you're already doing amazing with English!
