Yesterday I had dinner with my husband’s colleagues and the whole night we talked in english. I wasn’t comfortable because they all spoke english so well so i didn’t discuss much with them. I’m shy and I don’t like to fail so I just stayed in the background. I tried to talk but when i opened my mouth i hesitated and stammered, i couldn’t find my vocabulary and i realized all my mistakes, but too late. i’m most comfortable and confident with my teachers, but with other people i feel ridiculous, as if i’ve never spoken english. I’m disappointed because i feel i haven’t progressed in English.

Pronunciation

stammered ( stam – merd )
