German speaking watchers?
4 years ago
This is probably a bit random, but I have recently moved to Germany.
Though I can understand almost all German perfectly fine, I am not confident at all in creating my own sentences and speaking it.
Talking to people in my own language already gives me quite the anxiety, and needing to do it in German now, really is hard for me.
I feel really silly whenever I attempt to speak it, because I can see the direct reaction people have to my probably very incorrect German. I feel like I sound very dumb with all my mistakes, so I just think way too long about all my sentences, which just makes the entire conversation awkward.
Talking German directly to someone really gives me a lot of anxiety and me being quite peopleshy by nature really isn't helping.
So now I'm just avoiding speaking it, out of fear of getting weird reactions, or people not understanding me, and that is the worst. Because now I feel like I don't even know how to make sentences for a basic conversation anymore.
So I was thinking, maybe I can start out just writing German with a few people I don't know to build some confidence, without the anxiety of doing it irl.
So, if you are a German speaker who would like to exchange messages with me about random stuff, or if you know someone who is; please! I really want to get rid of my insecurity and just being able to talk to people here, even when I make mistakes.

Als ik Duits goed kon zou ik graag helpen ;~; je kan altijd aankloppen voor Engels!
Wel goed van je om hulp te vragen, ik hoop dat je iemand vind!
Ik ben al niet de beste in makkelijk converseren, en dat niemand hier Engels kan/wil spreken, maakt het niet bepaald makkelijker.
Dacht dat je op zijn minst een gebrekkig Engels zou krijgen met een leuk Duits accent sinds het ons buurland is en we hier ook altijd Engels kunnen met een grappig accent.
