Most common fear when learning a new language

Description

Learning to speak a new language can be a challenge! So, what's the secret? 

Ahead of European Day of Languages (26 September) we wanted to share some advice from Davide Patron, Content creator and English teacher. When asked, "What do you think is the most common fear that people have when learning a new language?" he told us that people are afraid of making mistakes.

His advice? Davide acknowledges that it can be hard. You might use an extra amount of words to express a single concept, but that's okay! Keep doing that until you learn the new words you need.  

"If you overcome that, then you're going to be unstoppable." 

What's your biggest fear around learning a language? Better yet, how did you overcome it?
