Speaking a foreign language is not an easy task and when it comes to speaking English, the challenges are more. While learning new language, nothing can be more impactful than mere practice.However, one of greatest obstruction that people face to achieve fluency in English language is the fear of failure. Fear of failure has stopped many people from achieving many milestones in life. But as the famous saying goes-Where there is a will, there is a way, you can deal with the problem in various ways. People deal with these kind of stresses in different ways. But if you are prone to sleepless nights, palpitations or panic attacks, it's time to think logically and address the issue. There is nothing called impossible.

No one is born with fluency in English. One has to learn, practice and adapt the language to become fluent in it. If you are learning English as a young adult, or even later in life, then remember you are not the only one. Fear of speaking is normal. It is how you overcome the fear that will transform you from an English language learner to an English language speaker. There are several reasons why even the thought of speaking in English terrifies some learners. Some fear that they might be making mistakes while some fear what others might think if they are not able to speak properly. They do not understand that that more than speaking the language, they need to listen to the language. Adult language learners do not often have enough time from their busy schedule to listen to hours and hours of comprehensible input in English. They can at the most attend an English class for two or three hours per week, during which time you are mostly reading from a textbook or watch English movies at weekends.

Moreover, in order to learn the language, one must learn to embrace their mistakes, learn from them and make improvement in the long run. It is true that no one wants to make mistakes but one cannot deny that it is the best way to learn.The more often you speak English and use English in your daily life, the more fluent you can become.

If you do not get the scope to study English in an English speaking country, you can make use of English language radio, podcasts and television. Only listening to the language can make wonders.If you come across any English speaker in your home town or city, you can listen to him or make efforts to start a conversation. If there isn't anyone to practice with locally, then read, write, or find people online who are familiar with this language. You will falter at first but it will gradually help you to master the language.

Learning a language is a simple process. Just listen as much as possible and when you are ready, start speaking, and have fun!
