A survey found that about 25% of British people are nervous about speaking another language when travelling. Almost half the people who took the survey were ashamed of their language skills. 36% of people assumed they could just use English when travelling.

Learning foreign languages is becoming less popular in the UK and some people are worried about this. Mark Herbert from the British Council said, “The reality is that speaking a foreign language doesn’t just help you to get the most out of your holiday – it is a rewarding way to connect with another culture and, with employers crying out for more language skills, it can boost your job prospects too.”

Many people feel anxiety when they are learning another language, especially when they have to speak it. Melvin Andrade and Kenneth Williams from Sophia University looked at classroom anxiety for EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students. They found that this anxiety sometimes stopped some students from communicating. About 75% of students said that this affected their English learning.

Although anxiety can make it difficult for some people to improve their language skills, many people like to speak in a foreign language, even if their level is low. The British Council survey showed that 48% of people enjoyed trying to speak a foreign language when on holiday.
