Hello there! This is my first time to use italki for my learning. I'm currently studying in University majoring in Business field. I hope to speaking fluent English to communicate with my professors, non-local students, or even in presentation. Any tips for me to overcome my fear of speaking English? I'm always scared about I can't present my answer perfectly so I just avoid answering any questions during the lesson. But, I really hope to improve it in my 4 years University life!

Question

Answer

How do you get better at anything? Practice it! Try to have conversations with English speakers as often as possible. When no English speakers are available, simulate a conversation by standing in front of the mirror and pretending you're two different people who are talking with each other.

Answer

A good way is finding a partner to exchange, you would not judge me if my Chinese were bad because you understand I’m learning it, it goes both ways. Here we are all trying to learn a language, so we don’t judge and we help each other. Making mistakes is a good part of learning. Once you find a partner you would feel more comfortable. 😉
