Hello, my dear friends. In this podcast, we will be discussing multiple（多重的） topics such as improving English, the challenges（向…挑战） that come with it, and also relationships. Before I begin, I have a couple of questions for you. Firstly, what problems or challenges do you face（向） while learning（学习） English? Secondly, what is the best advice you have ever received? Please comment（发表评论） in the below.

  Hey, Alyssa! Do you ever feel nervous while speaking English with someone? Not really, but why do you ask? Well, I'm usually good at speaking English and can even think in English fluently（流利地）, but sometimes when I have to speak, my mind goes blank and I get scared. I end up feeling like I can't continue speaking. Have you ever experienced（经验） something like that?

  I completely understand if you feel hesitant（迟疑的） while speaking in a language that is not your native（本国的） tongue（舌头）. It's perfectly（理想地） normal to feel that way. Just keep in mind that learning a new language takes time, patience（忍耐） and practice. If you're interested, I can share some tips with you that could help you improve your language skills. Sure, should I also learn more vocabulary? Please explain this also.

  Well, the problem is not with the vocabulary. The problem is with your hesitation（犹豫）, the hesitation that you face when trying to do something new. Because you're habitual（习惯的） of speaking in your mother tongue（舌头）. I mean, you're not very used（ 用过的） to speaking in English. So, hesitation is the issue（问题）. It's understandable（可以理解的） that speaking in English may feel unfamiliar（不熟悉的） and uncomfortable（ 不舒服的）.

  However, it's important to push past this hesitation in order to improve your language skills. Wow, great thank you. What would be the second tip? Sure, I'm not only providing tips to improve your English, but also highlighting（突出） the challenges（向…挑战） that you might face（向） during your English learning journey. It's important to be aware（知道的） of these obstacles（障碍） in order to overcome（克服） them and make progress in your language skills. Of course, it's equally（同样地） crucial（至关重要的） to know the issues（问题） to make the learning process smooth.

  The second problem that people often face while learning English is the fear of making（使） mistakes. This fear can hold you back from practicing and speaking the language, which is essential（必要的） for improvement（改进）. It's important to remember that making mistakes is a natural part of the learning process, and it's okay to not be perfect. The more you practice, the more confident（确信的） you will become in your skills. It's actually true, because most of the time when I make mistakes, I feel very down and want to quit（离开）. There are different problems people might face while making mistakes, and one of them could be the fear of failure（失败）.

  When individuals make mistakes, they might feel like they have failed and become demotivated to try again. This fear of failure can hold them back from achieving their goals and hinder（成为阻碍） their personal growth（增长）. "I am eagerly（热心地） waiting for the tips. How can I speak fluently in a language?" "Ellen, I'm glad（高兴的） you want to improve your language skills. There's no one secret to becoming fluent, but it's always good to keep practicing. Even for someone like me who speaks multiple languages, I am constantly（不断地） improving in learning（学习） new things. Fluency（流利） means being able to have a comfortable conversation with someone, without feeling limited（有限的） by your vocabulary or ability to express yourself as a non-native（本国的） speaker. So my best tip is to keep practicing and try to have conversations with native speakers as much as possible. "Hi, Ellen.
