I talk to French people everyday online, and they say I do real good, but my speaking needs work. I can totally pull off a good accent, but when I speak it in front of others I get nervous and my French isn’t too great.

Also, I barely get a chance to speak any outloud, because no one I know speaks it fluently, so I can’t have any conversations outloud. =[

Be a better friend

Untitled 3 years ago

I always thought I was a pretty good friend, but recently I’ve been asking all my friends advice about stuff going on in my life right now, and I realized that I’m kind of putting them on the back burner when I have a problem that needs attending to. That’s odd for me, because I usually do put myself before others.

My friend called me today when she needed to talk, and I felt important and I just listened and gave the most advice I could. And then she asked me about my problem and I got a little comfort there, but I didn’t make it the point of our convo. =)

be more confident (read all 2 entries…)

Speech 3 years ago

I have to give a speech on Tuesday, and I’m pumped because I know this will give me more practice in being confident!

I have it almost memorized, and by the end of the weekend I hope to have it totally memorized so I’ll be even more confident!

On the other hand, can anyone help me with being more confident when talking to people I don’t know well? I always find myself with nothing to say when I talk to someone who isn’t a friend or family member, or someone I’ve only met once or twice…
