Psychology of the anxiety


Today I am going to speak about anxiety that people go thru while learning a foreign language. Sometimes it feels like some people just speak foreign language as if it was their mother language, while others are facing a lot of anxiety and fear. So why is that?

First of all, I strongly believe that people who feel anxiety and fear when they have to speak in a foreign language don’t feel confident, they fear their accent or they are afraid they might make some mistakes while speaking. So I think that the first cause of the foreign language anxiety is that people don’t feel good about there abilities to speak in a foreign language.

What is more, I should say that it is very difficult to speak if you don’t have a good environment to practice. Practicing and talking or listening to a foreign language is very important. If a person doesn’t have a chance to talk in a foreign language, he can never get over the fear of making some mistakes.

Moreover, many people feel anxiety when speaking a foreign language because of the audience. When a person feels good in front of the audience, or the people who are listening to him are supportive and friendly fear and anxiety might partly go away.

All in all, I would like to come back to the question that I mentioned in the beginning, and I should say, that there isn’t just one reason why some people feel anxiety and others just don’t , but I believe that one of the most important thing is self confidence. It helps to feel strong and not to be afraid do make some mistakes.
