Attempts to remove blocks to speaking a new language for fear of criticism or being ridiculed or laughed at. Attempts to bring to memory incidents from your past contributing to your being embarrassed easily when you speak.

  • Ich bin mehr al hunder zwanzig mal nach Deutschland gefahren und nieman hat mein Deutsch verbessert.

  • thanks! this is really helpful! :D

  • @oledys Learning a language is hard enough. Hope you got a boost. Talk to yourself in the language you are learning whenever you can. Carry a small dictionary in your pocket.

  • @leparks awww thanks for the advice :D Im trying to improve my english's speaking, Im good at writing and reading but I have some problems with talk, for example the fear to make mistakes and so on, but I think you're right I have to make the fear disappear! =) thanks again ñ_ñ

  • @oledys You will make errors.

    everybody does---even people who have been here for 20 years. So what?

    When I speak French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Russian, Italian and Dutch I make lots of mistakes, but they understand me. They're glad I made the effort to learn their language. Loren

  • I found some good teaching material.

    Google "Ferd'nand". These are comics without words. First I have he students describe what's happening and practice structures such as the subjunctive. Then I have them role play the situation. The result has been very good.

  • You are an especially caring teacher, and I congratulate you on finding success with your teaching language.
