How can I express embarrassment?
hello, perhaps this is a silly question but how can i express that a situation or an action is "embarrassing" in japanese language?

I know that 恥ずかしい ( hazukashii ) means "embarrassed / ashamed" but I'm not sure about how to conjugate it.

For example: It's embarrassing to say that there are a lot of things I still don't know about the japanese language.

Thanks and I apologize for my poor command of english; I'm learning these two languages for the time being.
