Speaking a foreign language I've got a problem that can be quiet annoying when learning a language... I feel very shy when it comes to speak a foreign language, especially with a totally stranger. It's because of this that I don't understand the people that directly ask for Skype or directly give their Skype address by message. I really don't feel comfortable speaking to someone I don't knkw especially in a foreign language. It's a big problem here on Italki because many people aski for my Skype (even if it's written on my profile that I don't use it...). I enjoy chatting and writting to people in a foreign language but when it comes to speak it's a real problem... I'd like to have some advice if it's possible. Thanks for reading

Speaking a foreign language

I've got a problem that can be quiet annoying when learning a language... I feel very shy when it comes to speaking in a foreign language, especially with a total stranger. It's because of this that I don't understand the people that ask for Skype or  give their Skype address by messaging me privately. I really don't feel comfortable speaking to someone I don't know, especially in a foreign language. It's a big problem here on Italki because many people aski for my Skype (even if it's written on my profile that I don't use it...). I enjoy chatting and writting to people in a foreign language but when it comes to speaking it's a real problem... I'd like to have some advice if it's possible.

Good work, it's well written. Just some small mistakes which are easily fixed.

As for advice, keep using italki as you are now. Nobody can force you to use Skype so just ignore them :)

Your English is very good! Like Saqib said, just little mistakes here and there but otherwise great :)

Speaking is a great skill to have but only you know if and when you are ready for it - so don't let anyone tell you otherwise! :)

I have the same problem = ( moreover I know my foreigner friend pretty long time but I cannot speak to him anyway = ( I am not ready... I feel shy.. maybe with girls I can do it.. but only then if she has the same level as I do and if she's not a native speaker of course =D
