Answer:

Language is a tool people use to communicate with each other. People talk, chat and converse by using the language that they are familiar with. Nowadays, with the growing population and need to learn a new culture and environment, more and more people start to study the language they are interested in.

However, in the process of learning the new language to be understood and mastered, several problems arise and make the language learners feel troubled. The learners face difficulties in implementing the language they have just learnt in their communication. These difficulties prevent them from conveying easily what they want to say to other people. They tend to speak less or only speak if they are asked to, become shy or afraid of making mistakes, and are not confident. These problems frequently appear if the learners are having troubles, but, the most important aspect to consider is to cope with the confidence problem.

Being confident is the only way to handle the language learning problems. No matter if the learners do not have sufficient vocabulary or good grammar, being confident in trying out the language is very necessary. In other words, even if the learners have adequate grammar and vocabulary, if they do not have enough confidence to speak, their knowledge does not help them.

Fortunately, this confidence problem is quite easy to manage. There are several ways to boost a person's confidence. Firstly, it is important for people with a lack of confidence to test their language skills, in this case, their speaking skill, in front of their friends or people they feel comfortable with.

Another fast way is by trying to speak in front of a mirror. This especially helps the learners to face their confidence problem head to head by themselves, and thus, it can strengthen their emotional feeling.

To sum up, having a shortcoming in regards to confidence does not mean it prevents the learners from communicating with other people.
