Build Self Confidence To Speak English

Here's a bit of my speech for my Speaking Final Exam .

....... in this chance, I would like to give a speech about "How to build self confidence to speak English".

      As we know that many English learners have many problems during the learning process, especially about their self confidence in Speaking. Some of them admitted that they were too afraid to make mistakes and speak ungramatically. Some of them also admitted that they're difficult to express their mind because lack of vocabulary. But I think, the main point is 'afraid to make mistakes'. 

      No one can build your self confidence, except yourself. Don't ever underestimate yourself, because every single person have the same chance to be able to speak English. You don't need to be afraid if you make a lot of mistakes, because mistakes is part of learning. You don't havve to be worried when you speak ungramatically. When you want to speak English, you don't need to pay too much attention about grammar, because sometimes nattive speakers also speak ungramatically. I think, it isn't a big problem, as long as your partner can understand what you want to talk about and they can get the point of want you mean. Basically, English is not our daily language (Indonesian), so it's not a big problem if you make a lot of mistakes or speak ungramatically. 

         The main point is, you just have to believe yourself that you can speak English well. Just be easy on yourself. You don't need to get upset with yourself when or if you make mistakes. Learning new language can be frustrating sometimes. When you feel that you are overwhelmed, give yourself a little break. But don't ever stop trying to speak and don't ever stop to learning English. 

with love,

ATHE
