Fear sucks
|
Hello Reader, If I could tell you anything about learning how to speak English, it would be this: Fear never really goes away. Fear of making a mistake. Fear of forgetting what to say in English right in the middle of big presentation, or an important conversation. Fear of grammar flops. Fear of looking and feeling like a fool in front of someone else. Yep. It never really goes away. This is especially true if you're an introvert like me. Even in English, my first language, I am usually in a strange dance with fear. How about you? Sometimes that dance leads me to staying quiet, and not connecting with the people around me. Other times, I manage to lead and be the one calling the shots. And here's what I've noticed: while fear doesn't really go away, it can get quieter. The more you use your English, the quieter it gets. (Not silent. Just quieter.) And the more I let fear be what leads, the louder I see it become. What do you think? Does this seem true to you, too? **** Looking for work? Follow this 13 point guide to optimize your LinkedIn profile - from a career coach you should follow. **** Did You Miss It?

(That's task 1.) You've likely shared a story about something that happened to you before. (That's task 2.) I could go on. The point: don't let the CELPIP freak you out because it's a big language exam. (And I know...I know...it is a big language exam that has a lot riding on it!) But remember this: you've...

Hello Reader, I watched a video on YouTube today that had nothing to do with speaking skills for the CELPIP. BUT At the same time, it has a few ideas inside it that DO have a lot to do with stronger speaking performances on the CELPIP, and actually with your English speaking skills in general.
