They Said “Stop Showing Off Your English Skills”, All You Need is a Supportive Environment
Growing up in North Sumatra, Indonesia and just graduating from senior high school! That's me, Arhaf. I grew up in a family that always fully supports whatever my decisions and whatever I do. Different from my environment. In my environment, sometimes I can't get full support. As simple as speaking English everyday, I have a hard time doing it. This is because my environment prioritizes using native language, so I have a hard time finding someone to talk to who wants to speak English everyday. I don't blame my environment because that's something I can't control.
Talking about speaking English as a daily language, sometimes in some areas of Indonesia, many people still think that speaking English as a daily language is considered "Showing Off". Even though it is an effort to learn an international language. That way, we can get international exposure and wide access to learning. This point often makes some people find it difficult to develop their English skills. Some people are even afraid to practice their speaking skills just because they are afraid of being judged.
Because my environment makes it difficult for me to develop my English skills, I try to find other alternatives to develop them. One of them is learning through the fondi application. As an ambivert, I am very happy to be able to study at fondi. With the avatar and voice, I feel free to express myself and talk about any topic I like. fondi also supports my English learning, I can find the right environment to learn English. Usually I spend 2 hours at fondi, I have been to all the places at fondi, and I also always meet and chat with various people from various countries.
After using fondi, I feel confident with my English speaking ability, which previously I had difficulty finding a supportive environment, now I don't need to worry about that. In addition, I am also no longer hesitant to talk to foreigners, getting a lot of experience and learning at fondi. I even get to know many accents from various people in various countries, I think it's unique!
I recommend fondi for those of you who find it difficult to find an environment that supports your English development! You will not feel inferior because you are all learning together and you can explore and talk about any topic you like!
