This is normal, especially if you are not a native English speaker (but it does happen to some native English speakers as well!). There are, however, ways to increase your confidence when speaking English \u2014 here are some tips we would like to share with you, so you can speak English confidently:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Practice<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many non-native English speakers feel uneasy because they are afraid of making a mistake and feel embarrassed.\u00a0 But, it&#8217;s simple to include into your daily routine! Using English more in your conversations, responding in English, and simply spending a few minutes each day studying pronunciation can make a significant difference in your ability to listen, comprehend, and then speak English. Set aside 15-20 minutes each day to practice pronunciation, and do it on a daily basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Change Your Attitude Towards Making Mistakes<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Forget about grammatical errors or a limited vocabulary when you begin speaking. You won&#8217;t be able to start your first word if you think about it too much. You can also overdo talks or circumstances by taking too long to respond. Allow yourself to learn these grammatical and vocabulary issues as you go. Take notes if your words start to falter at a certain point and start looking for corrections the next time. To put it another way, you must prepare to make mistakes.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Plan your conversations<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you&#8217;re going to an event where you&#8217;ll be able to perform your English, think about what small talk you&#8217;ll make ahead of time. Are you going to discuss your job? or some questions such as \u201cHave you been here before?\u201d \u201cDo you live around here?\u201d, etc. It&#8217;s a good idea to have some conversation starters on hand so you can practice the vocabulary you&#8217;ve been learning. This way, you won&#8217;t feel pressed to think of something intriguing to say in the heat of the moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stay calm and speak slowly<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You don&#8217;t have to rush your response, calm down and give yourself time to think of the proper words. Trying to speak quicker than you can think of words can make you uneasy and impair your ability to compose whole sentences. Don\u2019t forget to breathe, you can begin by doing breathing exercises, particularly if you are nervous about speaking. Breathing forces you to slow down, allowing you time to consider your words before speaking. It&#8217;s absolutely acceptable to want to slow down the conversation, especially if you&#8217;re speaking with someone who is fluent in English.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These are some tips to help you overcome your shyness in English. Remember to be at ease with yourself once more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>References:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gomez-Taylor, M.
