Mai - what you feel afraid of making mistakes

What you feel afraid of making mistakes stops you learning.
You don't want to make mistakes, for you think you have to speak English fluently and perfectly.
And what's such idea doesn't give you any confidence.
In my case, it often used to happen. Whenever I was afraid of making mistakes, my voice got smaller. Even if my English was correct, nobody couldn't understand what I said because of my small voice.
Moreover I cared about English grammar and that construction when I talked in English. Once I though about that, I stopped talking and started thinking about that. It stopped us communicating and made us uncomfortable.
It's a good to make mistakes, because native speaker might correct your mistakes. Once you know the mistake, you couldn't make the mistake any more. Making mistakes help you so much.
Just have a little confidence and be strong! No one care about your mistakes.
