You might be an eloquent speaker when it comes to your mother tongue, but expecting the same standards from yourself when speaking in a foreign language may not be very realistic.

当你用母语交流时，你可能不输给奇葩说的辩论选手。而当你使用外语时，想要达到这样的水平，显然是不现实的。

Especially, if you’re at the early stages of learning. Learners are often told not to worry about the mistakes they’re making, however, it is easy to understand why you would like to make a good impression on your audience.

尤其，你还是语言的初级学习者。周围的人经常说不要在乎是否会犯语法错误，但是如果你想用外语给对方留下好印象的话，尽量还是要避免语法错误。

To overcome this difficulty, you may try slowing down your speaking speed.

为了克服这个障碍，你需要减慢你的语速。

Nobody will hold it against you if you speak more slowly and clearly. Great speakers do the same to get their message across. Selecting your words carefully may also be seen as a sign of respect towards your audience. It shows that you want to give them the best possible answer.

如果你讲得慢一些，但是更加清楚、有条理，没人会反对你的。伟大的演讲者也是通过这种方式去表述自己的观点。谨慎地选用词汇也是对讲话对方的尊重，因为这体现了你想让对方得到明确清楚的答复。
