I am SO SCARED?

Question

For school I have to write a little about myself, all in Spanish. I have to read it out loud in front of my whole class, I am always uncomfortable talking in a different language in class, what can help me get through this? I am REALLY SCARED

Answer 1

When I was a kid someone gave me this advice. I thought it was a little weird but it seems to have worked pretty well as I have given a LOT of talks to really big audiences.

People make you nervous because they all look so serious. OK, when you look out there, just imagine all of them sitting there in their underwear.

hahahah! It sounds stupid, but it works.

Answer 2

Relax, it's normal to feel scared about doing something different, and learning something new.

Your classmates are just as nervous about failing as you are. You can take off your glasses (if you have them), and then you won't actually "See" your classmates. Or you can picture your classmates in their underwear, that's supposed to help. However depending on what some of them look like it may not be a good idea, after all vomiting would really go over to well!!

Okay, do your very best on your assignment, practice in front of people you feel comfortable with, and realize that being perfect is not what matters. If you try your best and work hard you will be a star!!

Good Luck, and God Best!!!

Answer 3

When I was in school, I would be afraid to speak on stage in any language. So my Mom told me to look at the farthest point of the hall and picture her standing there. Smile and then read out my essay, thinking I was reading out to her alone. That helped me a lot in the beginning for quite a few times. But then I got used to talking in public and was very confident.

All the Best, Maria!
