How come I am scared??

Question

To perform my project in front of my spanish class?? I am new to high-school but usually I'm not afraid to perform in front of my classes but this one I am. Is it because there's people who are older then me in that class or what? And how can I make myself not so nervous??

Answer 1

Just make sure you know your spanish project well and have everything prepared before you go up and talk in front of your class. I really hate talking in front of people in the classroom, so when i have to, i just take a deep breath and walk up to the front of class and say what i have to say.  

Answer 2

Sounds to me like you don't have an issue with getting in front of the class so that's not where your fear is coming from.  Are you prepared to do the presentation...that is confident in your ability to deliver it?  If not than that's where the fear is coming from.  Since we all struggle with additional languages it's natural to feel unprepared regardless of how hard you perceive you studied.  Suggest you just take a deep breath...go up there and do you best.  You'll feel good about it later knowing you did your best regardless of the result.  Good luck!

Answer 5

Hmmm, well just remember that people won't be laughing at you. We all know what it's like getting up infront of a class. Just try to be confident and do your best.

Answer 6

Try not to worry or anticipate things too much. That will make your nerves go haywire. Just try to think calmly- and that its no big deal- but also make sure you do care about what you are doing. Im sure the others are kinda nervous too. No one is there to judge you. Just be yourself and be natural. Pretend as if you're at home talking to your family or friends. Avoid any caffeine- soft drinks, etc. Try drinking some herbal tea- such as Camamelle (SP?)  You'll do just fine!
