Do you agree with the writer?
I agree with the writer because I think also that on the road to fluency, no shame, no gain. When I went to England this summer, I felt that so much. I am shy so the first a few days, I couldn' t speak to host family a lot. But the action was not meaningful, I feel now. For Japanese in particular, people who feel that English is my weak point, speaking English is very difficult. And then, they think that if I take mistakes, I humiliate myself. Some Japanese feel that thaking mistakes and feeling shame are bad. So we don't speak other languages for not taking mistakes. However this thought is not right. Taking mistakes are natural because we are not native English speaker. And English speaker know that. So they are not oblivious of our mistakes than we think. Rather they think mistakes are good to master English. I was said that don't fear to take mistakes and you take new things. Learnig English, shame is the worst block than not having knowledge. So not fearing to take mistakes and humiliating mself, you will gain something that is very important for fluency.

Great story. Thanks for sharing that experience.
I think that making mistakes is very good way to improve our English, too. We don't have to be afraid of it!!
