Does speaking English make you nervous? You're not alone—let’s discover how to turn that nervousness into confidence.
In today’s episode, we break down what it really means to speak confidently in English. Many people assume that confidence comes from talking fast or using fancy words, but the reality is much simpler—it’s about being clear and easy to understand. We kick off by stressing the importance of regular practice. Confidence isn’t something that just happens; it’s a skill that builds over time, like any other.
To help build this confidence, we suggest focusing on expanding your vocabulary, especially with words and phrases that you’ll use in your job and how non-verbal cues like body language, tone of voice, and eye contact can significantly impact how confident you seem. It’s not just about the words you choose, but how you deliver them.
Key Takeaways:
- Practice speaking English in low-pressure situations to build up your confidence.
- Focus on understanding and responding to others, not just on what you’re going to say next.
- Your mindset matters—believe that you can improve, and you will.
