I remember this first time I spoke English with one of my foreign customers. Actually at that time, it should be in 2013, I just finished a English course, but I didn't dare to speak English with someone, my feeling was that every time I tried to talk with others in English, nothing came to my mind bacause I was to nervous, I think. That day I was on the way back home from work, I saw one of our company's customer stand beside a container, speaking on the phone, I could hear a little, so I went nearer to him, then I heard: no one is loading the container, and no one knows English, everyone is leaving now". I could hear his angry in his voice. So I called one of my colleagues in sales dept asking what happened. After I realized what was going on there, I talked to him, the first time, I had to talk to a foreignr who is from England. Even though I was not speaking well in the beginning, but after a little time, I could spoke much more fluent, then the rest of that night, I was with him all the time as a translator till he went to the hotel. ( As far as I know, the salesman who was supposed to meet him was out of the company because of an emergency ) . Since then, as long as there was a chance, I would speak English.

I'm going to give you a simple answer The main reason behind our fear of speaking another language is being afraid of making mistakes ! Don't be afraid of that , learn from your them and try to not make these mistakes again :) Good Luck

No one is perfect. Don't be afraid to fail. If you don't fail, you will never learn. Just try your best.
