I’m going to a new country and I’m scared about speaking in a totally different language So I’m moving to the US very soon and all my life i have learned English and i am pretty good at it. However, it was never a staple language for me. I never communicated in this language. It was just for the academics purposes or maybe just for presentations or something. Now thinking about speaking this language every time with others is making me anxious. I am barely good at speaking in my own language and now speaking in English is even more stressing for me.
