everythings there !
What are some lessons you’ve learned "the hard way"? How far have you come, how are you still struggling, and how would you recommend others tackle their own fears with public speaking?
I think the only way to truly get over the fear is to do it unfortunately. One thing that really helped me was that I did some training through my workplace. As part of this training they got us to do these embarrassing but funny things, and everyone had to do them so nobody felt any more stupid than anyone else. One of the things was bursting into the room Kramer-style from Seinfeld. But the whole point of it was to take us so far out of our comfort zone in standing up and making a fool of ourselves in front of people, that when it came to standing up and making a presentation it seemed like a piece of cake. That was the real turning point for me. Now I don’t love it, but it doesn’t keep me awake at night if I know I have to present. The other tip is really know your material. If you’re comfortable with what you’re presenting it’s not as scary, because the fear is about being judged. If you know your stuff the fear of people asking questions you can’t answer isn’t so bad.
Hii…
I have a problem that I can’t speak clearly what I feel or whats in my mind.
I am good at expressing my views by writing but I want to speak. I’ve tried a lot but I didn’t succeed.
I get nervous while talking with people and often try to avoid them.
you probably have the same problem i tend to have. this comes from the conscious or subconscious idea that ur feeling and ideas aren’t important,or the other people wont think they are. you need to be heard and that’s the problem
but you can’t let this take over you.gain some understating of others and your self. and remember you are not always wrong
Most of them are stubborn spoiled brats who are too lazy to do anything.Learning to speak another language is a good thing.It gives you more opportunities in life.There’s nothing wrong with being intelligent, and that’s far from what most of those kind of people are.
its my first year learning french and finals are comming up and its hard for me to grasp the conjugations and what the verbs mean.
Make flashcards!! I’m learning Italian and that’s what I do.
I know you don’t have much time but over the summer you could review if you’re interested: The Ultimate French Review and Practice. Your library or local Barnes and Nobles has it, I’m sure. It is an excellent book.
I plan on studying for at least a half hour EVERY day until mid-June. I am almost fluent in Spanish and think this will help me learn French a lot faster since they are both romance languages.
Have you learned both French and Spanish? What websites can I go to that are best for learning French?
Merci!
I would visit
www.about.com/french
www.babbel.com
You could try learning something specific every night, such as
-all tenses of a certain verb
-all aspects in one set of vocab e.g. – each part of the body, all the different fruits etc.
Another great boost is to download French songs to listen to outside of your half hour every day, if you find songs you like, it won’t feel like you’re studying. There are also some excellant French films you could watch to get a grip on pronunciation. Try Amelie or Chocolat to begin with!
Hope this helps!
Also, would I have to learn both block and cursive Russian? Also, do other languages with the latin alphabet write in cursive?
You need to learn Russian cursive if you want to be able to read handwritten Russian.
On the other hand, although cursive is the standard method of handwriting in Russia, consider that most communications are done electronically now-days, so learning to write in cursive is up to you. Everyone will still be able to understand if you write in block letters, and you can pick up on reading Russian cursive without much effort.
P.S. If you decide to take up Russian cursive and feel that starting out in English will be easier, go for it. The styles of cursive are identical.

I love French and German and I spend nearly every minute of my spare time trying to learn the languages. At school I have 3 hours of language lessons a week, but this is not enough. I don’t want to meet anybody to talk to or have to pay for lessons. I just want a way that I can speak the languages with more ease. Thanks.
This is an interesting question, this is the same question that i make to myself! and my teacher says me that i only have to practice infront of the mirror, or the best way is listening and singing the music that you like, in frech and german ofcourse. Other way is watch movies in these languages. it could be very funny!.
Well, have a nice day.
In the grand scheme of things, how hard is it to learn German? I am fluent in English and have studied 3 1/2 years of French and am wanting to take up a new language. How hard is German to learn? Is it hard to learn German when you are used to a romance language such as French? OR is German a bit easier since it is a teutonic language like English? Thanks in advance!
If you knew Latin it would be much easier to learn the German language.
But even if you knew Latin German is much harder to learn.
The adjective shows three declination-schemes depending on which accompanying word you have to choose (definite article, indefinite article or no article).
P. ex.
the great man
der groß-e Mann
a great man
ein groß-er Mann
great man
groß-er Mann
You have to differentiate and learn four cases:
Nom.: der Mann
Gen.: des Mann-es
Dat.: dem Mann
Akk.: den Mann
Linked with the definite article and an adjective you got:
Nom.: der groß-e Mann
Gen.: des groß-en Mann-es
Dat.: dem groß-en Mann
Akk.: den groß-en Mann
If you have to use the indefinite article you got:
Nom: ein groß-er Mann
Gen.: ein-es groß-en Mann-es
Dat.: ein-em groß-en Mann
Akk.: ein-en groß-en Mann
Without any article you got the same forms without the indefinite article:
Nom: groß-er Mann
Gen.: groß-en Mann-es
Dat.: groß-em Mann
Akk.: groß-en Mann
This is the masculine gender; in German you have also the feminine and the neuter gender:
the man – the woman – the child
der Mann – die Frau – das Kind
Okay, masculine and neuter gender are declinated similarily, except of the Akk. neutr. which is formally identical with the Nominative (as in Latin).
This is much harder than in French where no declination is found.
Somewhat likened these both languages are in their conjugation of the verbs – this conjugation shows a multifarious picture of forms and irregular verbs.
Take the personal endings of a regular verb in present time:
fragen (to ask)
ich frag-e
du frag-st
er/sie/es frag-t
wir frag-en
ihr frag-t
sie frag-en
German is my maternal language and I estimate it – but as we natural speakers of German say:
"Deutsche Sprach’, schwere Sprach’." That means:
"German language is a hard language."
But hey, we love it – otherwise there wouldn’t so much stuff to discuss and argue.
