5 Techniques to Speak English with Confidence - Speak English Confidently

When we ask students, “Why do you want to learn English,” often people don’t talk about their language skills. They talk about their feelings.
They say things like:
“I don’t feel confident when I’m speaking English.”
“I’m afraid my English sounds bad.”
“I want to feel better about my English.”

As a phD student, I feel very very nervous and afraid because I should show a presentation about my project to English speaking teachers after serveral weeks later. To me, it feels like disaster. After watching this video, now, I think it is a challenge and I should overcome it. I think I will be stronger after complete the challenge. Thank you very much.

Hi Gina and Martin,

It was a useful video, and it´s definitely helped me out to sound more confident, so thank you very much for that.

About my advice to help people sound more confident, I´d like to tell you the following:

1. Study the phonemic chart closely and understand the difference between British, American and Australian phonemes.

2. Practice at least once a day, one specific tongue twister by every phoneme.

3. Try to repeat audio books or audio poetry, and record yourself at the same time.

In my view, it is important because the majority of English learners do not understand the difference between graphemes and phonemes. Because of this, they are able to read and write, but can´t speak properly.

I hope it´ll be useful.

Kind regards,

Mario
