How to build Speaking confidence

Sometimes although we know the language (not very much but enough) we can’t find the confidence to share  (speak) it with foreign people.

Omg I had a whole long reply typed out but then my computer died.. I guess I'll retype it for you to read! 

I know what you mean. Still, on the streets of Wuhan, I get sweaty palms when I try to use my Mandarin. I've realized language learners in general are very harsh on themselves; why do we expect perfection, when in reality, we are never going to be perfect? Here are a few things you should try to accept in order to over come your confidence issue:

1) you are going to make grammar mistakes (something I like to call "Chinglish") 

2) you are going to forget how to say a word, but don't be afriad to stop your conversation and tell the foreigner you need to look a word up in your dictionary. My go to line in Chinese is this: 給我一分鐘看看我的字典“

3） Accept that native English speakers make mistakes. Accept that a lot of English native speakers actually have a poor command of the language, but they know enough in order to get by. Lots of English native speakers struggle with writing. Sometimes when English is being spoken (to me), I don't always understand 100% of what someone is saying, because I may not familar with the vocabulary and such. So the reality is this: even English native speakers have trouble using the language. 

4) the more you use it, the better you'll get. Try your best and forget the rest. If the guy (or girl) is half a decent human being, they will let you speak and be over with it. I was once told by a Chinese girl that my Chinese was 不是很通, so I moved on and made friends with someone else. 

5) as language learners, we are always critical on ourselves. If you can accept that you are being hard on yourself, then it will aid your confidence I think. 

I can't think of anything else right now, but if you have any other questions, feel free to pm (private message me)...

And my plams just go too sweaty, so I'm gonna be unconfident and not translate what I wrong above in Chinese =P 

祝好

Sunny day.

Today is a sunny day. I feel warm and happy. I should go to school to have some classes This sentence is a little odd. In English we typicially say "I should go to class." This sentence already implies that you have some classes to attend! =)  . It's a rest time of first class (its break between classes),so I write a short message to show my emotion. I like sunny day. In sunny day,I can run in the courtyard. And I also play badminton with my friends. I always don't know what to eat in at lunch. And I ask my roommates about this question. They usually laugh at me. Actually,I just express I'm hungry or I just feel boringnice try, but you should say bored =D .
In fact,I'm glad to make friends with all of you. That makes me feel good every time. (lets be language partners?? :D)

Happy bBirthday to me (when you say Happy Birthday to either yourself, or someone else, it is always captalized in English. So you should say Happy Birthday to me)

Tomorrow is my birthday,but (this sentence is a little awkward。 Can I offer you a suggestion? 你應該寫： My birthday is tomorrow, I remember when I was a little girl I used to be excited for my birthday, I'm not so excited now)  not as happy as when I was a little girl.Because when you grow up,so much to consider,life,work and so on. Because when you grow up, you have so much to consider, such as: work, and life etc.. (etc is very authentic Canadian English, its kinda like 等等 in Chinese (I think)- hope this helps!))
Today I made a birthday cake by myself,did this one day before my birthday,felt like these two days are both my birthday.
This birthday cake almost cost took me 4 hours,but more beautiful than my last birthday cake,that's a big step-V-
Any way,hope I will earn much more money this year,haha. Hope both my parents stay in good health,hope I will travel to more country countries, and live in a better life！ (Whenever you write a list, such as "I hope both my parents stay in good health, I hope I will travel to more countries, and live a better life" you must use commas, and add "and" for the last item in your list. So here is another example: I like fish, chicken, AND rice. Do you see what I mean? =P)

Happy birthday to me！！
