shyness: a big problem for learning new languages Since I was a little child, I have enjoyed reading and listening new languages. However, speaking is another matter...I'm aware that it's absolutely necessary speaking if I want to have fluency. But I'm just too shy! It's very hard for me speaking with stangers even in Spanish, my mother tongue. In English, it seems impossible! I stutter, I lose my voice and I'm not able to remind the most simple words and structures. Anyway, I'm trying to overcome this handicap. Someone could advice me?
