My reasons

Today I want to tell you about the reason why I feel shy to speak in English.
Maybe it sounds stupid. I'm afraid to look silly when I try to speak and make mistakes. My pronunciation has some problems. I know I have to practice more and more, but.....

And I usually have to remember the rules. I understand it's my fear. I watch a lot of videos and read books about it, but I can't change it.

Hi Veronika, thanks for this entry. I have made a few small changes in green for you to review.

Your problem is a common one that, as teachers, we encounter often. The first thing you can do to help yourself with this is to find a supportive teacher or language partner to practice with; a good teacher will never make you feel bad or embarrassed if you make mistakes. I am learning a language too, and I know that it can be difficult and frustrating to speak sometimes.

The next thing is to practice speaking in a meaningful way. Try to have conversations about topics that you find interesting. By using the language for a real purpose (not just to pass a test etc) you will find it much more interesting and useful, and will be able to push past your fears. The more you speak, the more comfortable you will become. Don't worry about making mistakes! This (at least for me) is the quickest way to learn.
