If I have understood right, we can use "forte" in the same way that we are used to, as for exemple:
Speaking não é o meu forte. = Speaking is not my forte.
Am I correct?
Speaking não é o meu forte. = Speaking is not my forte.
Am I correct?
Ailime,
Your English sentence is absolutely correct, and in this contex means "Speaking is not my specialty."
An idiom for forte is "my strongest suit" probably from card games such as bridge.
