You understand when someone who doesn't speak well you language tries it; the same applies to you.

I tell you from my own expirences, japanese is my third foreing language (actually I consider myself also a beginner). At the first time I came to Germany I was a bit nervous whether the people would understand me or not. I feared that I would not be able to expres myself and that people would'nt understand anything. After 5 years of extrem german lessons I've learned a lot of gramatics and vocabulary but I didn't have self confidence at all. It took me little time (about a week or two) when I realised that it didn't matter that I couldn't speak well. I just went outside and tried to speak with people, even realizing (at the very same moment) what I've made wrong.

After that I also realized that I wasn't nervous at all and people even were surprised how well I speak. Sometimes a meet people from my own country here in Germany, people that still have problems with it and the will never speak well.

So, don't be afraid of making a fool of yourself.

Thanks! =]
