How to overcome fear of speaking a language 🙈
(PS...new video coming on Monday about whether or not introverted language learners REALLY need to practice speaking or not ... keep your eyes peeled for that discussion!)
Anyway, here are some tips for overcoming fear in those situations where you do need to use a foreign language. 👀
1. Analyze the situation and go easy on yourself 🥰
Identify WHY you’re afraid of speaking a language. It could be because you’re too shy or because you don’t know enough vocabulary. If you use the wrong particle, grammar structure or word, what’s the worst that can happen? If people laugh at you, that’s a reflection of them as a person, not you.
2. Prepare vocabulary and phrases in advance ✍🏽
When I was working as a design intern at a Japanese company, I was really scared that I wouldn’t understand anything during meetings and presentations. It helped me a lot to look up words I suspected I might hear during the internship. I built vocabulary lists and example sentences of design-related vocabulary. You can’t find a textbook for every topic, so taking matters into your own hands and creating your own language learning materials boosts your confidence.
If you cannot remember or don’t know a word, you can always talk around the word and describe it in another way. If you don’t know the word for “cake” for example, but you know the words “sweet” and “food”, you can say “sweet food” and they might say “cake?” in return.
3. Practice beforehand 💬
Just like practicing a speech for a presentation, you can practice using new words and phrases in a safe environment until you’re ready to use it with a native speaker. This could be talking to yourself, a pet, a chatting partner online, or a tutor. My favorite method is talking to people on voice apps. When I can’t see someone’s face and they can’t see mine, I feel less ashamed of making mistakes.
4. Record yourself 🎥
You'll hear your mistakes easier and be able to correct them if you need to, but you'll also gain confidence over time hearing that you aren't actually as bad as you think you are! You can use sites like Forvo to hear a native pronunciation or ask a native speaker friend you trust to correct you first, if you like.
5. Relax ☺️
Remember not to take language learning too seriously. Your goal is to communicate with others, right? It’s counter-effective to worry about using the right words and grammar each time you try to say something. And it's always OK if you prefer to do other activities rather than speaking - we all learn languages for different reasons and if you prefer reading books and watching movies, that's totally fine too 💕

大家晚安!這個粉絲頁已經有十年,累積了將近一萬個粉絲,謝謝你們的支持。我從2017年開始做影片,很幸運遇到Kimberly美國老師,她是我最大的貴人,她讓我的英文夢成真。每個星期一我都很期待和Kim一起工作,只要學習到新的英文用法,都會很興奮。這幾年我做了app,做了新的會員網站,但都失敗了。我和Kim花了一年多的時間寫單字例句,每個單字的例句我都會有很多連想,延伸情境的句子,下一句話英文會怎麼說呢?
這麼龐大的資料,並沒有用上。做了兩年多的Youtube影片,我想是否有機會把這樣的資料分享給全世界學習英文的人。所以,我看了兩年多Youtube行銷研究的影片,或許我的失敗就是我成功的養分。我開了一個新的頻道,是單字的發音與實用例句,這些例句都是我跟Kim討論過,有延伸句,有情境句。希望這樣的課程,對全世界學習英文的人都有一些幫助。影片裡沒有中文,影片的下方我有附上翻譯。如果對你有幫助,歡迎訂閱我的新頻道-Say and learn the word。一個單字一個影片,我會不斷更新,影片短短的,有空就來背個兩、三個單字。我的目標把基礎,中級,和高級單字的精華單字做出來。謝謝大家。
今天我上傳了三個單字,分別是:
nationality n. 國籍
adjust v. 調整;適應

balance n. v. 平衡;保持平衡
https://youtu.be/nb-WkqyFcog
nationality n. 國籍

B: I’m British.
A: 你的國籍是什麼?
B: 我是英國人。

Fun fact about me.. I have fear giving speeches and talks.. I am good at Q&A but can never do a proper formal speech without the help of a teacher.. I met @susan_lankester years ago when I was panicking for a speech.. She guided me.. Came to practise with me, corrected my pronunciation, grammars and helped me to build my confidence.
I had many different criticisms about the way I spoke ..And that I am not good in speaking. I didnt feel bad or give up. I dont come from an English speaking family.. Was 10 years in Chinese school.. Speak Cantonese probably my whole life. Now my Malay is so much better with many practise at work with collaegues.
I have given myself a chance to learn.. And I have improved quite a bit. I was even writing columns in The Star Papers for 4 years..With the help of a "ghost editor" Ena who beautified my words but she had never changed my flow and stories..She let me be myself..and I didnt give up! I believe if you have a goal, you can always reach where you want to be. Eventho I am not even there yet!
Everyday I learn something new.. Everyone around me is my teacher. I have learnt a lot from many of my clients too.. I listened and I learnt. Whenever I didnt understand the words..I ask.. I am not embarrassed.. I am not shy.. That is how we can be better.
I will continue to ask.. So forgive me if I do ask you what you mean? Why? What is that? How to say ? Whats that word? and many more.. #Dontgetbored
