How to Speak English Well And Confidently!! • Are you very shy when it comes to new surroundings, such as starting a new class or moving to a new area? Sometimes, it is necessary to overcome your shyness and speak confidently. By doing this, it can help you not only to share your ideas properly to others, but also to learn communicating with others. Here are a few steps to consider when speaking with confidence.

There have absolutely been many ways to reach the this purpose. • There is not only one way to reach the destination and/or goal. Here you are the one among those ways. • Steps • Tips

Steps • Learn how to have conversations with people (classmates, partner, colleagues/co-workers, friends, foreigners, teachers, family, and on-the-go people) • Don’t be afraid and speak loudly • Make eye contact when you speak • Praise yourself everyday! (don’t confuse between the words brag & self motivation)

Learn how to have conversations with people • Your ideas or opinions may not always be accepted by others, but this is nothing unusual. Open your mouth, express your beliefs! This will improve your courage. (mistakes are ok, they are very good lessons learnt for you, as learners of English)

Don’t be afraid and speak loudly • Don’t be afraid and speak loudly. If you speak in a low voice, not only will others not be able to hear what you say, but you will also portray a submissive demeanor, which suggests the opposite of a confident one.

Make eye contact when you speak • Make eye contact when you speak. For one thing, it is polite for others. Also, eye contact will help others to listen to your thinking carefully.

Praise yourself everyday! • Praise yourself everyday! This will promote your own confidence, which is important when you speak. With more confidence, people will take your thinking more seriously.

Tips • Don’t be nervous when you make mistakes (no one is perfect) • Try and try again! • Self Confidence Issues • Remember that there is a fine line between confidence and arrogance.

Don’t be nervous when you make mistakes • Don’t be nervous when you make mistakes. Human error is far from being a new concept — nobody is perfect! It is normal for everyone to make mistakes. Just calm down and keep speaking bravely.

Try and try again! • Try and try again! This may be difficult for a shy person at first, but you need to force yourself to speak, and not seclude your thoughts. If you have some ideas, then try to speak out! Don’t just keep them in your head.

Self Confidence Issues • If you have self confidence issues, try to think that you are the only one who has sound knowledge about the topic. Then go ahead and impart your knowledge to the audience in an effective way.

Remember that there is a fine line between confidence and arrogance • Remember that there is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. Don’t portray an exaggerated amount of confidence, or you will come off as arrogant, believing that your ideas are better than the ideas of everyone else.

Questions?? • All kinds of your relevant-to-the-topic questions are absolutely crucial and meaningful in the purpose of sharing.

Thanks!! • Wishing you the most relaxing weekend and the most remarkable long journey of your study!!!
