Afraid to speak English. Who is with me?
Hi everybody!
This is Rosa, I am trying to speak English. I am really afraid to speak English, I don´t know why. I feel advanced in my head, when I review all tenses, past simple, present simple....future perfect continuous, modal verbs, conditionals, phrasal verbs, etc, I understand it, I can read it. But in my tounge I am worse than begginer.
I realize this fear is just in my head, it doesn't matter if I speak awful or I do it pretty well. I am not going to die for this. But it is still a big effort for me to speak it. .
I need English for work. It is hard to see that the good opportunities go away for not to be able to speak it. But, I can do it. It isn't too hard, is it?
Well, let me know if you feel the same. I'd like to meet people who want to help.
See you soon!!

i dont understand you are so bothered about tense ..
let me tell you 1 thing .. its so simple and you can understand ..
you are not a native english speaker so you cant be perfect until you talk see me i am not bothered even if i am wrong i talk and its the only reason i am able to catch and correct my mistakes .. i dunno whn do i had class on tense or adjective .. i just talk and i am thru .. my country men do speak .. english ..
( lastly read newspaper loudly infront of mirror look at your actions this actions will let you help to understand hw you look whn you talk believe me .. i tried same thing .. )

I agree with Randy. It's hard for everyone, and I think if you are shy and the other person is more fluent in Spanish, it will be really hard for you to get practice in English.
For me, the best practice is with someone who is just starting to learn English. That way, I am forced to use my Spanish to communicate with them.

I have the same problem trying to speak spanish. I think it is normal for people learning a new language to be afraid to speak it. I have found some friends on skype and speak Spanish with them (they are learning english) and it has helped boost my confidence and I find it easier and easier to use my spanish. You just have to force yourself to get started the more you speak english the easier it will get.
