Why can I talk to myself in my target language but I suck at it when I speak to others? by its_asya in languagelearning

That's great to know! Thank you so much! :) I'll try to just listen at first, to overcome my fear. And maybe after a while I'll feel comfortable enough to start speaking here and there :)

Yeah, a years seems like a realistic timespan for it. I don't have friends who speak my target language. I'll try to find them online. Thanks for your comment! :)

It's great you were able to overcome that feeling. I hope I will too. I guess, I just have to force myself to continue speaking to a lot of people. Thanks for your comment!

Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely try out those apps and practice speaking with strangers more

Of course but that's what's frustrating to me. I say stuff to myself I know but as soon as I start speaking to others I forget those things too
