Tips to Fight the Fear of Being Laughed at

Being laughed at or joked about can happen no matter what language you are learning. And it may make some learners nervous about speaking their new language. 【小题1】 .

Relax; be patient with yourself

Oshiberu teaches English in Washington D.C. and she says you need to remind yourself that you are learning the language, so it is normal to make mistakes. 【小题2】 . She also suggests learners avoid setting learning goals that are too strict.

Practice your speaking skills

In a role play, two or more people act out an imaginary situation. She says if you are unable to find a practice partner, you can practice in your head or you can talk out loud. 【小题3】 . That way, you can listen for mistakes and correct them.

Don't be afraid to ask questions

If you are worried about what to do in the moment when someone makes a joke, the solution can be simple: kindly ask the person the reason for the laughter. Melendez says the issue could be something very simple. Then, once you know the issue, you can bring the information to a trusted person, such as a friend or practice partner. 【小题4】 .

Keep a sense of humor

【小题5】 . Josh Plotkin is a Brazilian who operates a website and teaches foreigners how to improve their spoken Portuguese. He says you might even laugh with the person who is laughing or making the joke. This may feel strange at first but gets easier with time.

As you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions — like whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another, it can be even harder. People who are at your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure.

Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone’s reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.

Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.

It is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.

You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely”. Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this. If you choose friends who don’t cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably won’t do these things either, even if other kids do.

If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. Don’t feel guilty if you’ve made a mistake or two.
