Based on our experience at Pro English Institute in Abu Dhabi, we found that 90% of applicants struggle with nervousness when speaking English in front of others 🤭.
There are several reasons for this issue 🧐:
Feeling that your English is not strong enough to speak confidently in front of a group.
Fear of speaking in front of others, even if your level is higher than theirs.
Worrying about giving a wrong answer and feeling embarrassed in front of your colleagues.
You are not alone in experiencing this. We all, in one way or another, go through situations where we feel embarrassed. Don’t make it bigger than it really is 🤩.
In this article, we’ll cover some steps that may help you overcome your fear of speaking English in public:
Take your time when speaking, especially if you are a beginner. Speaking slowly will help you remember what to say and structure your sentences correctly.
Follow daily topics on foreign websites to enrich your knowledge and vocabulary. This way, you’ll find plenty of topics to speak about naturally.
Practice speaking with one person at first, then move on to two, and gradually increase as your language knowledge grows. The more vocabulary you have, the easier it becomes to speak in front of a group.
Trust yourself, and if you make a mistake, don’t hesitate or panic. Take a deep breath and continue. No one pays attention to small mistakes, especially when they know it’s not your native language.
