However, you should encourage them to not be too shy to ask their friends and others they chat with from time to time as well. Their education doesn't have to take place only in their lessons, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some shy students may need time to get comfortable asking such questions, but others might need to be reminded that asking after everything they say will make the conversation very slow and unnatural! As long as it is not overdone, most people should be happy to help confirm that they are on the right path.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It's natural for English learners to feel unsure about the things they say.
