Kayci - is it just that you don't feel confident or is it that your ability isn't enough to cope at the level of the other speakers in that section of the forum? I hope it's okay asking, I'm just curious.

Nobody's going to laugh at you for mistakes? We all have to learn somehow, and the thread will be better for you, so multiple people can throw bits of information on the table, you know?

I understand, but I still feel better one on one with natives on mixi...

This guy is one of the ones that you should try to ignore. But again no one will laugh, except for Alan maybe...he'll laugh just cause I said no one will laugh...but again ignore him

Maybe I will in my own time, however. I know people may laugh. Making mistakes for people to see embarrasses me greatly, and I need to grow out of that.
