For someone who struggles with speaking English, you don't half write it good!

I was thinking the same thing. How can you be good at one and not the other?

At a stretch you could use an online translator to translate what you want to say into English and note down some of them. Sometimes they're a bit off but I've managed to hold whole conversations in Finnish just using Google translate. My Finnish friend reckons it's not bad at all!

You can, if you have learnt a second or third language mainly at school and used it only at work. If you haven't lived long in a country where your second or third language is spoken, problems such as those encountered by the OP are quite common.

As someone whose first language isn't English, my advice to the OP is to just listen more to how other people say certain things. Most people are only too pleased or flattered that you are interested in perfecting their language. Watching TV, as someone else has suggested is also great. As much as I hate soap operas, I think they are a great way to learn a language.
