Hey Alysa, do you ever feel nervous while speaking English with someone?

Not really, but why do you ask?

Well, I'm usually good at speaking English and can even think in English fluently, but sometimes when I have to speak, my mind goes blank and I get scared. I end up feeling like I can't continue speaking. Have you ever experienced something like that?

I completely understand if you feel hesitant while speaking in a language that is not your native tongue. It's perfectly normal to feel that way. Just keep in mind that learning a new language takes time, patience, and practice. If you're interested, I can share some tips with you that could help you improve your language skills.

Sure, should I also learn more vocabulary? Please explain this also.

Well, the problem is not with the vocabulary. The problem is with your hesitation. The hesitation that you face when you are trying to do something new because you're habitual of speaking in your mother tongue. I mean, you are not very used to speaking in English, so hesitation is the issue. It's understandable that speaking in English may feel unfamiliar and uncomfortable. However, it's important to push past this hesitation in order to improve your language skills.

Wow, great, thank you. What would be the second tip?

Sure, I'm not only providing tips to improve your English but also highlighting the challenges that you might face during your English learning journey. It's important to be aware of these obstacles in order to overcome them and make progress in your language skills. Of course, it's equally crucial to know the issues to make the learning process smooth. The second problem that people often face while learning English is the fear of making mistakes. This fear can hold you back from practicing and speaking the language, which is essential for improvement. It's important to remember that making mistakes is a natural part of the learning process and it's okay to not be perfect. The more you practice, the more confident you will become in your skills.

It's actually true because most of the time when I make mistakes, I feel very down and want to quit.

There are different problems people might face while making mistakes, and one of them could be the fear of failure. When individuals make mistakes, they might feel like they have failed and become demotivated to try again. This fear of failure can hold them back from achieving their goals and hinder their personal growth.

I am eagerly waiting for the tips. How can I speak fluently in a language?

Ellen, I'm glad you want to improve your language skills. There's no one secret to becoming fluent, but it's always good to keep practicing. Even for someone like me who speaks multiple languages, I am constantly improving and learning new things. Fluency means being able to have a comfortable conversation with someone without feeling limited by your vocabulary or ability to express yourself as a non-native speaker. So my best tip is to keep practicing and try to have conversations with native speakers as much as possible.

Hi Ellen, how are you doing today?

Hi Alysa, I'm doing well. How about you? I've been thinking a lot about relationships lately. It's interesting how they shape our perspectives on love and life.

I totally understand. Relationships, whether romantic or not, can teach us so much about ourselves and others.

Exactly, and sometimes those lessons can be difficult to process, but they ultimately help us grow and become better versions of ourselves.

Yes, it's all about learning and evolving as individuals, and it's comforting to have friends like you to share these experiences with.

I feel the same way, Ellen. It's nice to know that we're not alone on this journey.

Absolutely. So what's next for you on your relationship journey?

Who knows, but I'm excited to find out, and I'm glad to have you by my side through it all. What are the signs that someone deeply loves you? Because I feel like we live in this world where we're always wondering, do they love me or do they like me? So how do you know when you deeply love someone and when someone deeply loves you?

Hey Ellen, I totally get what you mean. It can be tough to tell if someone truly loves you or if they're just interested. Some signs that someone deeply loves you could be when they prioritize your needs and make sacrifices for you without expecting anything in return. You might also feel a strong sense of trust, respect, and admiration for one another. When it comes to knowing if you deeply love someone, it's all about how you feel.

Do you feel happy and fulfilled when you're with them? Do you think about them often and want to spend time with them? These are just a few things to consider. Does that help?

Thank you so much for the advice, Alysa. It definitely helps me understand things a bit better. I agree that understanding my feelings is crucial when it comes to knowing if I deeply love someone. I'll keep those things in mind and reflect on my feelings towards them. Once again, thanks for your help.
