Comfortable with mistakes

在關於使用 非母語的語言 一事上,我常常在用日語交談時收到這樣的反應:

On the subject of speaking a non- mother tongue language, I get this a lot when speaking Japanese:

「你聽起來說得真溜!」

我的回覆是:「⋯只因為我說得很多,足夠讓我不介意我的錯誤」

“You sound so fluent when you speak!’

Me: “... only because I speak enough of it, that I am comfortable with making mistakes.’ 

我們最大的阻礙就是對 丟臉 的恐懼。
The only obstacle is the fear to embarrass ourselves.
