Factors that make me anxious when speaking English
English has been quite a challenging language to me; it has been a language that I have faced so much anxiety whenever I am trying to speak the language (Graves et al, 1998). There are some few factors that usually make me so anxious when I am speaking English.
One of the factors that makes me so anxious is the complexity of the language regarding pronunciation of words. I have a challenge pronouncing most of the English words. Whenever I am speaking English, I get quite anxious when I meet a new word that probably has some complexities in terms of the pronunciations (Xu, 1991). The language does not require pronunciation of the languages just as they are written, there are some few changes that one has to note whenever they are trying to pronounce those languages as such.
Another factor that makes me so anxious when I am speaking English is the fact that it is not my first language. Just like any other second language student, I also get to find it so hard for me to speak English and that is the more reason as to why I get very anxious when I am planning to speak the language (Graves et al, 1998). I feel so shy when speaking it considering that it is not my first language and thus I get so confused trying to make up the new words that I am not yet used to so well (Xu, 1991).
The last factor that makes me anxious when speaking English is the speed that English language. I feel that English has a higher speed as compared to all the other languages.

I find it so because most of the people that speak the language speak so fast and this gives me so much challenge while I am trying to cope with it (Graves et al, 1998).
