I am happy to give you some advice on learning English.
On one hand, you can’t understand English teacher’s words in class. I think that’s because you only have poor vocabulary. So I advice you to remember more words and you should always use them to make many beautiful sentences. Day after day, you can understand English teacher’s words.
On the other hand, you are afraid to make a mistake when you make a conversation with classmates.I suggest that you shouldn’t be afraid to make a mistake. It’s natural to make mistakes. So try to talk with classmates in English.
