Overcoming shyness
Hi there! I'm very shy person and introvert. It's hard for me to speak to other people.
I've been learning English one year. I was doing all that stuff to improve my language except speaking. I learnt grammar, watched movies in English, tried to listen to radio. I've read the first book of Harry Potter as well. But I realized if you know all that stuff it doesn't mean you can speak. When I'm trying to speak I forget all words and rules. My speaking looks like "Errmm, hmm I... ". It's terrible for me. Also I can hear how awful my voice sounds. I know how to pronounce a word but when I try to do that...
And yes, there's no reason to worry about that. People you speak try to cheer up you.
So what is your way to learn foreing language and overcome shyness?

I understand your pain. I also struggle with this. I can write Russian fairly well for my level, but I get very nervous when speaking to unfamiliar people. My advice is this: Find someone who needs to learn Russian (like me). When you earn someone's respect as their teacher, it's a lot easier then to become their pupil because you already know they think highly of you and won't judge you for making mistakes.

So what would you do to learn a foreign language and overcome shyness?
This is very good, well done!
I'm sure you will overcome it soon. Speak at home and practise yourself, then speak to your friends =)

Just find someone you get along with and just chat like friends about things that interest you like music,movies, food,family.You will find that you soon forget about it being a foreign language.Just go for it! It will get a little easier every time.
