    What are some practical strategies for language learners to overcome anxiety or fear when speaking in their target language?

    What helped me most was shifting my mindset. I stopped aiming for perfection and started focusing on being understood. Practicing aloud daily, especially recording myself and checking how to pronounce tough words, really helped. Also, speaking with patient language partners made a big difference. Over time, the fear faded, and I started enjoying conversations instead of stressing over mistakes.
