I'm learning a language (swedish) for 8 months now both at home as in self-study and in a language learning program.
I was able to pass every exam and test in the learning program so far, which makes me happy and I feel pretty confident in reading and writing, but I still need to work a lot on listening and speaking. Mostly speaking.
I have native people around me all the time so it shouldn't be so hard to practice and we talk in my target language all the time.
Lots of times I feel like that (this might sound a bit weird) I know what I want to say, but it never comes out how I intend it to. I guess I get a bit nervous when I have to speak and I fumble on my words or I say something and immediately after I realize that it wasn't correct. When it's my turn to speak I get into sort of a mini flight-or-fight response.
Another thing is that sometimes I feel mocked because of my lack in speaking skills and that adds extra pressure on me.
How would you deal with this or how to be a better speaker and conquor the block in your brain?
