While learning a new language, there will be times you make an error. Sometimes they\u2019re small, like forgetting the difference between ser <\/em>and estar<\/em>. Other times, you\u2019re having a conversation and refer to your car as borracho <\/em>instead of barrato<\/em>. So, how can we deal with error embarrassment when we said the wrong thing and we feel humiliated? We\u2019ll show you some tips here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is \u201cerror embarrassment\u201d?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Error embarrassment is when you feel bad for having made a mistake<\/a> in the language you\u2019re learning. If you\u2019re shyer and don\u2019t particularly like speaking in your first language, making mistakes can be even harder in your second, third, fourth, etc. It can be so frustrating when you try your best, but still didn\u2019t say it \u201cperfectly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might feel embarrassed if you\u2019re trying to say something innocent but accidentally say a bad word. Other times, you realized the sentence you just said makes no sense to the other person because embarazada <\/em>means pregnant <\/em>instead of embarrassed<\/em>. Either way, feeling ashamed for saying the wrong thing doesn\u2019t feel good, and there are ways you can shift your mindset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focus on the positives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just because you made a mistake doesn\u2019t mean you aren\u2019t getting better! Be proud of yourself for stepping out of your comfort zone and trying a new word or phrase. Also, be proud of yourself for having a spontaneous conversation in a language you\u2019re learning. A mistake isn\u2019t an endpoint! It\u2019s all part of the greater learning experience. Whatever word you said on accident is just another vocabulary word for you to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn to laugh<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you\u2019ve heard people say that it\u2019s good to laugh at yourself. Learning a language should be fun, exciting and light. It\u2019s important to not take everything too seriously. You know you\u2019re learning, and the people you\u2019re talking to know that you\u2019re learning too. Nobody expects you to be perfect, and if you can learn to laugh at your little errors, you\u2019ll feel less embarrassed, and more likely to keep pushing yourself in conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to be a better speaker is to speak! You can\u2019t learn to kick a soccer ball by just watching other people kick a soccer ball. Similarly, you can\u2019t speak Spanish by just listening to people speak. You need to try, make mistakes, and try again. What are some of your tips to deal with error embarrassment?
