Afraid I'm new here, but not study english, however when the matter is write or speak in english, I have serious problem. About writing, I can't write something without using google translate. Even if i don't use it, i need to leave it open. I feel very dependent. Now, with relation to speak, I feel a big afraid, perhaps because I have never spoken to anyone in English. I saw a youtube-video on this and i know there are a lot of people with that problem. So, I hope that in 2018 i lose afraid and start a new step to improve my english. xD

Hi Fernando,

I understand! The only way I can speak Spanish is by knowing that I will make a fool of myself and feeling ok about that. Sometimes I even make people laugh. This makes me laugh! I feel good then that I made people happy, even if I made a mistake. Everyone needs to laugh.


May I make a suggestion? Why not talk to yourself out loud alone in your house. Walk around and say “I want a cofffee” and “I think I will watch tv”. Get used to hearing yourself talk and get those mouth muscles used to speaking in English!


You can also read aloud, especially easy books.


In very little time you will begin to enjoy it. Happy New Year!

Afraid

I'm new here, but not to the study of English, however when the matter is writing or speaking in English, I have a serious problem. About writing... I can't write something without using google translate. Even if i don't use it, i need to leave it open. I feel very dependent.
Now, with relation to speaking, I feel really afraid, perhaps because I have never spoken to anyone in English. I saw a youtube-video on this and i know there are a lot of people with that problem.
So, I hope that in 2018 i lose the fear and start a new step to improve my english. xD
