Sample Essay of Myself in French

Sample Essay of Myself in FrenchI am writing a sample essay of myself in French. I'm trying to learn French, but I'm a little afraid that learning a new language is never easy. At the moment, I am all of nineteen years old and I want to learn French as fast as possible. I think I can learn it from my French teacher.At school I never got the chance to speak French with other students. Even if I had, I would have been shy about talking to them. Even if I did, I would have been afraid of giving them bad grades.Since I will be starting an immersion program soon, I think I will have to learn how to speak French with my classmates at school. I'm getting scared of speaking French in front of my friends who know only a small bit of English. If I don't start speaking in French, I won't be able to speak with them in their native language either.I also don't want to learn French with other people. If I know enough English to converse with them, I might not understand a word they say in French. I'll get spoiled.I would much rather start a study program in French and then work my way up to my homework with it, rather than learning two languages. I want to master one very quickly before the other one comes up.Some of my friends are learning English. I don't think I can master it too fast. If I learn it fast, I'll have to repeat my essay in English every week or so, and I don't want to do that.I want to learn French, but I'm afraid I will never be able to speak it. I can't help it if I'm afraid to speak it. So, how do I get through this?
