Being asked to introduce a new topic can be even more difficult because we want to be understood and get it "right" the first time. However, allowing yourself to practice something and accepting that you will make mistakes is the first part of learning.

Sometimes we make mistakes because we are given a task with no instructions or directions for how to complete it. When it comes to college coursework, it can seem even worse because everyone around you appears to know what they’re doing. But don’t worry, no matter how it feels, you are not the only person with questions. Everyone has to start from the beginning—there’s no shortcut to becoming good at something.
