Cómo decir que tengo fobia a algo..

Muy buenas, me parece interesante que aprendáis un término tan parecido al español y pronunciado casi igual.Me parece que más de uno lo utilizará en más de una ocasión en su vida, por desgracia.Y si no tenéis fobias..¡¡¡mejor!!!! (pero hasta el más valiente ha podido tener alguna vez miedo a la oscuridad.."fear of the dark"...)

What is the word for a fear of ... ?

An extreme or irrational fear of something is known as a PHOBIA, from the Greek word phobos 'fear'. There are various English words that describe the fear of particular objects, events, or situations. Some well-known examples include:

• claustrophobia - fear of confined spaces
• agoraphobia - fear of open or public places
• arachnophobia -fear of spiders
• acrophobia - fear of heights

Many other terms exist, but they tend to be used infrequently, such as coulrophobia, fear of clowns,  scopophobia, fear of being looked at, or ailurophobia, fear of cats. In general, it's more usual to simply to use the word 'phobia' preceded by the name of whatever it is that a person has a phobia about, e.g. he had a longstandng needle phobia.

Yo podría añadir el término "student phobia"...Que no, que es broma...
