Hope these tips help, Lindsay. I’m not a naturally outgoing person, so I know how intimidating it can be to try to speak when you feel like you talk like an 18-month-old. It takes some time, but keep working at it and you can reach the point where you can speak freely.

Thank you so much for your tips! I’m definitely going to try these. I’ve been trying to learn Dutch for awhile, but I get so nervous and just clam up and forget everything when trying to communicate with a native speaker.

Thanks for your comment, Joanna. I’m glad you found the tips useful. I know saying, “just get over it” doesn’t always help, so I wanted to offer something a little more specific.
