The awkward moments during my English lessons I've took some lessons here on italki, and some problems had shown up. Firstly, I felt very nervous when I was stared by teachers, no matter how kind and friendly they were. That's probably my problem though. I am very shy and had limited experience of speaking English with others. Second, there was a very frustrating thing which is I didn't know what to say when teachers asked me questions. I could only give simple replies like yes or no, and took me a while to make up better answers when teachers asked me to expend them. Third, I made tons of grammatical mistakes. I always realized that I made errors right after the sentences were spoken. That embarrassed me every time. Thankfully, teachers were all patient and nice to me. I hope I can stop being an idiot during the course and being able to communicate with them normally.

Awkward moments during my English lessons

I took some lessons here on italki, and some problems showed up.
Firstly, I felt very nervous when I was stared* by teachers, no matter how kind and friendly they were. That's probably my own problem, though. I am very shy and have had limited experience of speaking English with others.
Secondly, I was very frustrated when I didn't know what to say when teachers asked me questions. I could only give simple replies like 'yes' or 'no', and it took me a while to make up better answers when the teachers asked me to expand on them.
Thirdly, I made many grammatical mistakes. I always realized this right after speaking. That embarrassed me every time.
Thankfully, the teachers were all patient and nice to me. I hope I can stop being an idiot during the course and be able to communicate with them normally.

*when I was stared at by teachers, or, when I started with teachers?

Very well written!

Try not to be too hard on yourself! I think most of us feel nervous and struggle putting sentences together when we first start speaking in another language - it is a very challenging thing to do at first! Mistakes are a normal part of the learning process, and even native speakers often make mistakes when they speak and write. Your writing in English is excellent so I'm sure in time you'll get more used to speaking and gradually gain more confidence. Best of luck - it will get easier! :-)

Mistakes are normal and nothing to be embarrassed about. The only embarrassing thing would be if you didn't try. Cheers!
