How to Say ‘Sometimes I get too nervous.’ in Traditional Chinese

我有時候會太緊張。

wǒ yǒu shí hòu huì tài jǐn zhāng

[wo yǒushíhou hway tie jǐnzhāng]

💬 Usage Tip: In this sentence 會 (huì) means "tends to", describing a habit rather than the future. Words for time like 有時候 come right after the person and before the action.

🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Pick a weakness that is mild and easy to fix, like nervousness, and then show how you'll work on it. This is the expected safe answer in Taiwanese interviews.
