I don’t say things right.
I wish I’d learned English at a better school.
My accent can’t be understood.
If I make grammar mistakes, people will think I’m stupid.
I can’t always find the right words. My vocabulary is too limited.
My diction is so bad—I worry people won’t respect me.
I find myself staying silent instead of speaking up. I feel invisible.
That Your Accent Will Be Judged
And You Will Be Rejected?
That’s because when you’re nervous... your guard goes up and your voice gets softer/quieter - shrinking both your posture and your confidence. If you're super nervous, your hesitation can completely shut you down.
When you shut down, your audience can't connect with you which means no matter how good your words sound they just won’t land. They want to feel the real you, your enthusiasm, and your heartfelt desire to share your message, instead of someone who recites the perfect script.
