There's no denying that learning a foreign language is difficult，and when it comes to speaking the language，it can be extremely tough.I remember walking into my first-ever Spanish class at university only to discover that half of my classmates were already fluent in multiple languages. It's safe to say I felt out of my depth!
At first the thought of speaking Spanish terrified me；not only were my vocabulary and grammar very limited，but I had never spoken another language before.However，I was determined to overcome my fear，and by adopting a few simple methods I have been able to build my confidence and make progress.In fact，it was not as terrible as I thought.Here，I think I will share a few tips with you.
Firstly，it is OK to make mistakes for language learners and that you should accept them.This sounds obvious，but when it comes to language learning we often aim for perfection and feel as though we are not ready to speak until we have "enough" words or grammatical knowledge.The truth is you will never feel ready，and instead it is important to use the knowledge to communicate what you can.
This leads on to my next tip：don't compare yourself to others.This can be a hard one，especially if you are in a large language class.It is important to remember that we all learn at different speeds and through different styles of learning.Something that really helped me progress was finding a patient language exchange partner.Finding someone whose level of English was similar to my level of Spanish to practice with made me feel much more confident.
Lastly，celebrate the small success and remember how far you have come!Instead of focusing on how far you have to go，focus on the progress you have already made and be proud of your achievements!
