My first time speaking in English with a native speaker and how I deal with this today When I started practice my speaking in English I thought I would never get it. I remember I was a very ashamed, my heart bit very fast and I forgot the words. It was weird because my desire to speak other language was very intense and I always want to learn English. But at same time, I felt very insecure because I thought that natives would never understand me, In addition to I felt more comfortable writing, listening and reading in English. I knew I needed to practice my speaking skill and I couldn't leave it to tomorrow! So, I decided to book a class with an native speaker ( because I pushed my self to speak in English) and I confess, I was really nervous! When the class started, even the teacher being very patient and friendly, I got shy and I don't' spoke as fast and as good as I want, but you know what? It was a awesome experience! I finished my class with the sensation that I was courageous to face my fears. Nowadays, I still practice with natives and I can feel my progress every single day as well as my fear are going away! I know that I have lot to improve, specially my others skills in English. For our lucky, there are very nice people to help us and we have to be grateful as well! The people knows how difficult is to learn a new language and speaking in a different away than you are accustomed! I'm happy just to thought that I can be fluently someday and speak naturally, with more confidence, understanding others accents around the world... But the things doesn't happen overnight! I'll keep practicing! See you soon!
