Difficulties at learning a foreing language Hi everyone!! I'm a beginner at learning english. As such, I realised that one of my (several) problems for improving my skills is embarrassment. This is particularly the case when I try to speak. Although I often found myself practicing my pronounciation, I never achieve that good pronouciation in real situations. Indeed, an even worse problem usually comes across: the more I effort to speak clearly, the less fluent I become. I've always guessed that was dued to embarrassment. After all, speak as a child (although I recognise it should sound funny!!) is not commonly desired by any foreing language student. Some good friends told me it's just a matter of practice and of get used to speaking frequently. So, I'll push myself to use the language exchange of Italki....perhaps, who knows, with time and practice I became more fluent...... See you!! PS. Thanks for your corrections, I know my writting also needs a lot of improvement!!
