如何克服開口說英語的恐懼？

摘自:滬江英語

Sometimes when we are learning a new language it can be really frightening to start speaking it with other people.We may have a good vocabulary and grammar base but speaking is the aspect that we most need to practise.

Overcoming this fear of speaking a new language is extremely important as it will help us gain confidence in ourselves and will show others that they can speak to us in their native language.

Today let's look at a few great tips that can help you overcome your fear of speaking English or a different language to other people：

☆1.Accept that you are going to make mistakes and learn from them.

People make mistakes all the time，especially when speaking a new language.Don't be sad or feel disappointed if you make mistakes；it's part of the process of improving your speaking. Once you have made a mistake，correct it and carry on.As Albert Einstein said，“Life is like riding a bicycle.To keep your balance，you must keep moving.”

☆2.Ask for help.

Once you have started speaking English，don't be afraid to ask people questions about how to say or pronounce something.Most of the time people will be more than happy to help you if you have any questions.They may not be so happy if you ask them grammar questions as they may not know the answers themselves but I'm sure there will be no problem with vocabulary and pronunciation questions！

☆3.Learn some survival phrases or sentences.

It's a great idea to learn some set phrases or answers for certain questions in English.For example，if you don't understand what someone says to you，say things like“I'm sorry，could you repeat that？”or“I'm sorry，I didn't understand what you said”，using sentences you have already memorized.This is a great way of being honest with yourself and also learning how to react to situations or questions which may take you by surprise.

☆4.Don't be shy！

One of non-native speakers'biggest problems is being too shy to speak.This can be the biggest problem for a lot of people.Be aware though that most people speak more than one language and know how difficultit is to learn a new one.Also，most people really don't even notice if you say something wrong or if you are too shy；most of the time we have false perceptions of what others may think when really nothing could be further from the truth.

☆5.Enjoy yourself！

You are learning another language for a reason，so go ahead，have fun，make mistakes and even invent new words！It's all part of the process.

在學習一門新的語言時，有時候我們會很害怕跟其他人開口說出這門語言。我們也許詞匯量和語法基礎都很好，但是英語口語則需要多多練習。

克服說外語的恐懼極其重要，因為它會幫助我們樹立信心，并且可以向外國人表明：他們可以跟我們用母語進行交流。

今天，讓我們來看看幾個非常棒的建議，他們能幫助你克服和別人說英語或其它外語的恐懼：

☆1.你會犯錯——接受這一點，并且在錯誤中學習和成長。

人們都會犯錯誤，尤其是說一門外語的時候。不要因為犯了錯誤就感到傷心或者失望；犯錯誤是提升英語口語的必經階段。犯錯誤的時候，就馬上改正并且繼續努力。就像阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦說的，“人生就像騎自行車。如果你想保持平衡，你必須保持前進。”

☆2.尋求幫助。

在你開始說英語后，不要害怕問別人某句話怎么說、或者某個單詞怎么發音。大部分情況下，你問別人問題他們會感到很高興。但如果你問語法問題他們（外國人）可能就不高興了，因為可能他們自己都不太清楚語法。不過我能肯定，如果你問他們詞匯或者發音方面的問題是絕對可以的。

☆3.學習一些生存應急的短語或句子。

學習一些英語固定詞組、或者某個問題的特定回答方式，是個不錯的主意。比如，如果你不懂別人在對你說什么，你說一些背下來的句子：“抱歉，你可以重復一遍嗎？”或者“抱歉，我沒有理解你剛才說的內容。”這是一種可取的實事求是的態度，而且通過這種方式你也可以學到怎么面對一些你意想不到的情況或者問題。

☆4.不要害羞！

外語學習者最大的問題是因為害羞而不敢開口。這是大多數人所面臨的最大的難題。你要意識到大多數人不止說一種語言、而且學一門外語真的很難。還有，在你說錯話或者很害羞的時候、大部分人都不會注意到的；很多時候我們會誤認為別人對我們有看法，然而事實并非如此。

☆5.享受說外語！

你肯學一門外語那肯定是有原因的，所以別多想只管好好學吧！盡情享受、盡情犯錯，甚至盡情去創造新詞！因為這些都是學外語的必經過程。
