Dont be afraid to participate, the teacher will create a friendly and open learning environment in which you can experiment and try to speak English. Set yourself goals, but make them realistic. Congratulate yourself when you reach your goals. Dont expect to understand everything immediately. Be patient, with time and effort the language will slowly become clearer.
