I am very shy by nature. When speaking in English I am very nervous. What should I do?

Question:.

Answers:
well if u r shy speaking english try speaking it at home most of the time.
if some asks u question in english first think about the question in ur native language and if u get that and u get the answer in ur native language, transfer it to english.
dont rush or talk too fast try to breath and dont force ur self to speak with the american accent it will come to u eventually

practice!


practice!


keep learning your english!


Well, if your speaking is as good as your typing/writing, you shouldn't have a problem. You're very good at it from what I've seen.

Just relax and be yourself. I'm sure you'll do fine. :) The more you speak the language, the more comfortable you'll be with it. You can try reading aloud in English.


listen to radio (not tv) like BBC
read newspapers
get course for conversation
thats all I was very scared of speaking outside my home when I first got here. My husband finally got tired of it and said you want money you tell the bank teller. That kind of did it. Now I don't think about it anymore. I still get laughs at time I have a very harsh German accent. But most people claim they like my accent.You will get used to it. Now your still struggling to translate things in your mind before you say them, eventually you will think in English. Or at least I do now. Hang in there!


i have been there girl! I was this very shy ugly duckling in highschool! I get high grades but not enough to be a valedictorian because of my shyness. I great in eloqution and other public speaking contests when I'm in elementary, I just worked on my self confidence, think that nothing will happen if you stays inside your shell!it's difficult to work on it, but you'll see! Believe in yourself! Read aloud, watch english movies and try to imitate it, study! Hope for a better you!
