13 ways to beat your fear and star speaking

• Meet up with your foreign friends

Keep practicing with conversations; meet up frequently with native Spanish friends to talk to them in Spanish.

This way you’ll be practicing the language and they will be able to correct your mistakes, help you improve your pronunciation and learn more up-to-date vocabulary.

• Listen to the radio

While you’re showering, getting dressed or cooking for example, tune into a Spanish radio station and get used to listening to Spanish sounds.

• Watch TV

Another way to get used to listening is watching television in Spanish. A good way to start is to watch films or series with subtitles, first in your own language and then in Spanish until you’re able to understand without them.

• Read the news

Buy Spanish newspapers and magazines, apart from improving your grammar and vocabulary, you will also be up-to-date with the news of your new surroundings. You can then tell your host family about what you’ve read and keep practicing and improving your Spanish conversation.

• Visit museums and landmarks

Learn first hand about Spanish history while listening to natives explain it.

• Plays and musicals

Take the chance to go and see any local festivals or to visit the theatre and watch a play or a musical in the city you’re living in. It’s a brilliant way to “exercise your ears”.

• Do sports

When you go out running you could listen to Spanish podcasts or music for example.

You can also try a team sport where you’ll be able to speak to your team mates.

• Go to bars

Whichever city you find yourself in, there are sure to be bars with language exchanges where you can practice with a native while teaching them your language.

It’s also a great way to meet people!
