I am not a public speaker even though I am minister. I do not enjoy being in the forefront with many eyes looking at me. I prefer one on one conversations. In our class, we recited the words from the chapters, answer questions in front of the whole class and in participant in one on one video conversations with one of our classmates.
As mentioned before, I am not a public speaker and with having to learn a new language and speak that language in front of my schoolmates was very challenging for me. To overcome this challenge, my roommate and I would talk to each other in Spanish through out the week to help get me comfortable speaking in front of the class. I cannot say I have succeed at overcoming not being a public speaker but the orals we participated in has help me increase my confident that I can learn the language and speak it correctly.
