ネイティブが教える英会話のジェムスクール☆Teachers☆

Last week, in my Japanese class, my teacher told me that there was going to be a speech contest in Niihama for people learning Japanese. She said that it was a very good event to participate in, because it will help you to study and give you motivation. I am, sadly, very much in need of motivation, and I can definitely see that it would be a good idea for me to participate. But the idea makes me very nervous! I am not a very good public speaker even in English. Standing in front of a crowd trying to speak Japanese (and in a formal style!) sounds like nightmare material. But on the other hand, I think that this, combined with the trip that I’m taking with my parents next month, might be the universe telling me that I really need to pull myself together and learn more Japanese. So, I think I’m going to do it. It’s still nerve-wracking, but I think that in the end, even the attempt will be worth it.
