Phobia

 "The word “phobia” is an English suffix of Greek origin" "A ‘phobia’ is an irrational or excessive fear of something" Phobia/Fear is a normal and healthy part of life. Fear plays an important role in keeping us from entering harmful situations and helping us decide when to get out of situations that are not necessarily the best. Under normal circumstances, fear can be managed through reason and logic. It does not take over our lives or cause us to become irrational. A phobia, however, twists the normal fear response into something that is difficult or impossible to control.

  How to improve English Speaking Skill? The first rule of speaking English is to learn to speak clearly and concisely" "Be confident and patient with yourself" "Start a conversation with strangers in English" "Record your own voice and ask close Friends and People for Advice" "Find English speaking friends and talk with them" Try to avoid using idioms and slang. It might sound clever to say "You're barking up the wrong tree," but if you use it in the wrong situation, or if the other person simply doesn't understand you, you'll only look silly when you try to explain what you meant to say, or what it actually means. There's also a saying in English "Have you swallowed a dictionary?" It is applicable to anyone who uses long, complicated words when a shorter word will do.

Why People Fail to Get Fluent in English

  9 Reasons Why People Fail to Get Fluent in English Excuses & Attitudes (to Avoid) 1. “I’m Not Good With Languages” It’s true that some people are better at learning languages than others, but you have to accept that some people, with or without a gift, just want it more. In this sense, the greatest gift you can have for learning is TO REALLY WANT IT. Unless you have some real serious learning deficiencies, you are fully able to learn English. It might take more dedication and patience, better strategies, study habits and awareness of your learning style, but to say that what is holding you back is because you aren´t good at languages is not a good excuse.

They’ve learned through persistent hard work, avoiding excuses, and overcoming obstacles that everybody faces. 2. “I’m Too Embarrassed to Speak” If you don’t use it, you lose it. All the embarressment or laziness that...
