Also I feel like I'm not good enough. I think that is why I get so nervous. I always try to stay calm but it doesn't seem to work. Sometimes I don't even hear myself while I'm talking. So I just talk slowly so that I don't make mistakes. I think it helps a little bit.]]> 2016-09-23 18:25:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ahmetbasal/psspeakingdifficulties/wish/126105886 https://padlet.com/ahmetbasal/psspeakingdifficulties/wish/126146218 My level of getting excited and nervous while giving a speech in front of the audience is often effected in terms of knowing the listeners.If i am familiar with the listeners, i get so excited and nervous that my voice starts to trill and my face becomes  red.However, if i give a speech to the audience who are totally  strangers to me, i do not get excited and nervous.Moreover, i do not forget the things i am supposed to say and i can talk at a normal pace.
I think,the possible solutions for this kind of difficulties are that at first the time of speaking can be short and later it can gradually become long and most importantly the audience must show me some respect otherwise i forget things  i have planned to say.]]> 2016-09-24 03:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ahmetbasal/psspeakingdifficulties/wish/126146218 https://padlet.com/ahmetbasal/psspeakingdifficulties/wish/126159740 I realized that I make more mistakes (grammer, pronunciation) while talking in front of public than texting or sending voice messages. I don't know how to fix it, I think it is because I don't always talk in front of public. Maybe I just should get used to it.  The more I am familiar with the situation the calmer I'll be I suppose.]]> 2016-09-24 11:26:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ahmetbasal/psspeakingdifficulties/wish/126159740 https://padlet.com/ahmetbasal/psspeakingdifficulties/wish/126200740 While I'm giving a speech in front of the audience, I get so excited and I experience heart palpitations.I don't know why but I estimate that I have no self-confidence . Moreover, I feel like I'm not good enough.I think it is because we don't always talk in front of the audience.However, I realized that I can improve myself in a better way when I start to speak. In my opinion, I should practice my speech, and I should listen the audience who are speaking better in front of a bunch of people and know what they're doing.]]> 2016-09-25 10:10:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ahmetbasal/psspeakingdifficulties/wish/126200740 https://padlet.com/ahmetbasal/psspeakingdifficulties/wish/126224795 If we go back to school years, we can see the Real problem. Education system is not enough to teach students. While i am speaking,i think Turkish,i try to accumulate words and grammar rules at the same time. So, i make more mistakes. We will be teachers so while teaching, we should be careful. We should guarantee that everybody in the Class is equal so noone criticize you. I think this will work.]]> 2016-09-25 17:44:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ahmetbasal/psspeakingdifficulties/wish/126224795 https://padlet.com/ahmetbasal/psspeakingdifficulties/wish/126460380 2016-09-26 17:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ahmetbasal/psspeakingdifficulties/wish/126460380 https://padlet.com/ahmetbasal/psspeakingdifficulties/wish/126462804 Based on my experience, difficulties encountered while speaking before a bunch of people arise from some personal reasons; over-excitement and anxiety. While I'm speaking because of my excitement ,I suppose, I can't focus clearly on what i'll say. Besides, cause of anxiety caused by the fear of making mistakes, I shy away from speaking before the audience whenever possible. Actually, I know that I should not and I know to overcome these difficulties, I should practice more but ,you know, it's easier said than done.

This  me nervous all the time, so I can't remember the proper words and do panic again. Also, I tend to think I'm not good enough. Hardworking and staying calm are what I need.]]> 2016-09-26 17:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ahmetbasal/psspeakingdifficulties/wish/126463158 https://padlet.com/ahmetbasal/psspeakingdifficulties/wish/126513025 While speaking in front of a crowded audience I get very irritated rather than a feeling of fear or extreme excitement I react with an unusually short temper I really do get mad. But I don't show it much I just stay silent look around awkwardly or even laugh-smile excessively unnecessarily meanwhile volcanoes erupt inside me and sometimes I end up saying things which I wish I never had said. Not because they are embarrassing its because they are unnecessary and make other people upset. Why do I react like this? I believe there really isn't a specific reason I suppose its just a natural but an uncommon maybe a rare reaction that I give to a situation I find uncomfortable. How can I prevent this from happening? I need to relax not just a little bit I need to relax a lot I need to realize that its just communication not very different from what I do every single day with my friends family etc.  the biggest difference is the number of people involved and there is also the fact that I will be the one who speaks mostly but these shouldn't intimidate me they don't really matter that much. I really need to believe in this. I need to stop getting so tense by realizing that I exaggerate the importance of what my educator thinks about me or what my classmates say think.]]> 2016-09-26 20:41:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ahmetbasal/psspeakingdifficulties/wish/126513025 https://padlet.com/ahmetbasal/psspeakingdifficulties/wish/128124486 As one of the worst language learning advice anyone'll ever receive, comparing myself to others while I'm giving a speech makes me really nervous. I guess I don't want to face the music; there are good public speakers and there are not that good public speakers or entirely average public speakers. I am a perfectionist and I have an all-or-nothing approach to everything. And the core of my anxiety while giving a speech is probably the fear of not being almost perfect. But I guess I should know nobody can be a good public speaker overnight. Having room for mistakes is a stage of learning. And not to be afraid of making mistakes, of course.
