POST 2 - ROSELY LEITE
TO SPEAK OR NOT TO SPEAK,  THAT'S THE QUESTION!

Paraphrasing one of the most famous speech in the great writer William Shakespeare's play, which was used  to express Hamlet's hesitation in a certain moment in his life.
 I may share with my classmates and people who read this blog my hesitation in the beginning of The Teachers Program in the Language Connection of St. John's University. I was afraid of speaking English and to make mistakes,Not to be understood.The lack of self-confidence was by my side and made me feel bad. I really hesitate in many situations to speak English in the classroom with my classmates or to give opinions on debates.
I have to tell you that it still happens, but I feel much more better today. I have read a lot about American Culture, I've shared ideas and comments with my classmates and teachers. I have learned a lot and I have taken notes  of everything that may help to improve my English profiency.We've had amazing classes and the PDPI Faculty and Staff have done everything to make us confortable.
That's the reason I chose this famous sentence "to be or not to be, that is the question" to paraphrase in my second post.

  1. It`s not only you, my friend! Sometimes I feel ashamed of speaking in a wrong way myself, but we have to deal with it!
