Afraid to talk When I arrived to USA I was too scare to talk with the people. I didn't want the people came to me to talk. I was a basic English, but I couldn't practice my basic knowledge because I felt afraid to speak. For example, When the employee of X store asked me "Do you find everything ok?" I always said "Yes, thank you" they was give me help and I preferred find the product by myself and don't speak.... The shyness was for a few weeks.... The thing is be available to learn and make mistakes to improve every day.
