Lost in translation

Getting to grips with a new language is probably one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do. I can't wait until it flows off my tongue as fluidly as English.
I'm constantly stringing sentences together in my head and storing them away for possible use! I get so nervous actually speaking though. I’m conscious that I’m thinking of every word before I say it just because I don’t want to make a mistake. Of course the best way to learn, at least with languages, is by making mistakes and just forget about embarrassing yourself. Of course it’s easier said than done, especially when instead of a reply you receive a perplexed look from your conversation partner!
