@hadarshemeshenglish: You probably know this feeling... You have something to say in the meeting or a social gathering. Then your brain starts working overtime. "How do I phrase this? Is that the right word? What if I make a mistake? Maybe I should wait until I can say it better." And by the time you’re ready, the conversation has moved on. So here’s what I want you to try instead: Don’t prepare the whole answer. Prepare the first sentence. Catch the thought before the Speaking Police have time to edit it. Start with: “I have a thought about this.” “I see it a little differently.” “Can I add something?” “What I’m thinking is…” Then speak. You do not need to know exactly how the sentence is going to end before you begin it. And if the English isn’t perfect? Just keep going. Because every time you choose to speak instead of waiting until you feel completely ready, you’re teaching yourself something important: I can trust myself to figure it out while I’m speaking. That’s a skill. And it gets stronger every time you use it. What other things would you suggest to do in that situation?
