use wrong words Today I spoke with my flatmates about my retainer. I told her that my retainer came off and I need to go to the dentist. I told her I am gonna ask the dentist whether she can "pick my retainer out" she looked confuse I guess because of that. What I meant was "take out" instead of "pick out". I was aware that I chose the wrong phrase but couldn't find any suitable worlds. It's quite pissed me off when I didn't know the right words or phrases. Anyhow, that time, I wasn't ready to speak in English mode thats why I hesitated. I was also a little bit nervous since the other party speaks English fluently like a native. I have tendency to feel a little bit nervous and shame to speak English in front of native people or those whose speech similar to native, however if I face others who the ability of speaking is the same as me, I don't feel that way.
