Situations that happen when learning a new language When you get to the point of putting in practice everything you learned... well, in my case I got frightened . A couple of weeks ago I was at the bus station and there were 3 native speaker girls. They were arguing to ask or not for help. My mom told me that I should help them, and in the moment I opened my mouth it was like I forgot who to talk. At the end I asked them if they needed help, but I finished explaining to them by monosyllables and hand signals because I was afraid of the idea of making a mistake or the idea of they maybe making fun of me. I have to still working on that, and I hope next time I'll get enough confidence on myself.
