How do I get over the fear of trying to practice my Spanish with people? I have friends at work who know I am trying to learn Spanish and I will sometimes see them but I never want to stop them and chit chat a little. I worry about interrupting people from what they were doing. A friend explained to me that most people will actually tell you if they are busy so I should just leave it up to the person to tell me if they don't have time. If they don't have time and still choose to chit chat with me a bit, then thats on them. Its just hard for me to take that advice because I naturally don't want to bother people with my inane spanish yammering or whatever.
