Feel nervous on something.

Hot 2590 views. 2015-7-3 20:45 |Individual Classification:Life| experience, something, including, products, because


Got the news that the designer team will come to visit our company next month, they want to talk about something about the products in the developing stage. My boss said I need to be there to accompany them. I feel nervous about it, because the designer team including European members who didn’t understand Chinese, and I have no experience to talk with foreigners face to face before, we get connection just by e-commerce way before, imagine that will happen in just one month later, how could i handle it, to be honest, I am not a smart woman, my oral English is really poor, and I will feel nervous and all words will be stuck in the way, and I have no confidence to speak out. I told my real situation to my boss, she insisted on her decision and said she will be there all the way and she can control everything, yeah, I know she is powerful, and she speaks English fluently, she is nice to me, but I still feel embarrassed if I couldn’t help or catch up with what they said. I don’t know what will happen, maybe I think too much. I told myself that it’s not a big deal, maybe foreigners are not mysterious or fearful as what we imagine, they are normal, too. But word is one thing, action is another thing. Face to face, still seems fearful. I couldn’t control what I feel now. I like to read and write, but I have no confidence to speak out. Even for my own language, I am not good at talking, not to mention speaking English. I have to admit that verbal communication is my weakness. I know there is no use to worry about, what I should do is to prepare more before they come. To relax, maybe if I am not nervous, I think I can speak something and I can understand something. Fine, I have no choice, let it be, maybe it’s a good opportunity to train my English and test my courage. Hope that I won’t act too timid. Now close my eyes and pray. The more important is to try my best to prepare more.

The reason you fear to speak it out since you seldom got the chance to speak with native speakers, but never mind, they are not monsters who are gonna eat you, feel free to speak to them, at least your boss will be right there who can be strong support for you. What you need is to relax, and do not think it so seriously.
When I talk to forrigners, I just feel fine, whatever we talk about business or something do to with life, I just find comfortable to express what I am about say, and response what they ask. Foreigners also pay attention and try to understand what we say, if possible, they will slow down the speed, and also listen carefully what we talk to them.
I think it is a good opportunity for you, and you can learn how to communicate with them and also you will know what is the difference between reading and speaking, then you might find out what else you can do to improve your spoken English.
Good luck.

Since you never had the opportunity to practice speaking English, you may have some difficulty speaking to a foreigner, but you can still try. It depends on his accent and patience. A good customer would go slow and let you understand. Give it a try.

Yes, i think the foreigner's accent is very different from what we Chinese speak, so that i won't catch up with them even i focus on it.
But i will still try it. Thanks.
