Hi,
Thank you all for your replies.
decison2change: This problem existed long before I even knew other languages, but it has transferred to all my other foreign languages. It isn't related to my language abilities. I was always very shy and afraid to speak to people. I am much better now than I was, and I get better with every year. Now, even when I find myself floundering on the phone, I don't feel a lot of anxiety, but I don't get across what I want. I am nearly 100% sure I have all of the information and vocabulary I need in me somewhere, because I am able to write, but I don't think and process information fast enough in the moment, in any language. Naturally, though, the more confident and fluent I am in a language, the less this problem occurs.
Learning other languages and having this problem in those languages has really improved my ability to overcome this problem more and more in English (my native language), and also taken away a lot of my anxiety about spontaneous interactions with people.
daniel and laura: Since the booklet says you ought to have a specific upcoming event to apply with the CD, I was wondering how to use the Talking to Win CD for this general problem?
