1.You’re not smart enough to speak English
Everyone has ability to speak English even if your mother tongue is not English. When you watch English lesson in any spaces but you’re still able to understand what that lesson said. That is proof that you are smart enough, but you must believe that fact. You’re smart enough. Stop saying you’re not smart enough to speak English. Focus on you goal to speak English fluently.
2. You don’t know enough vocabulary
You see in reality you find yourself using same vocabulary words over and over again, that’s true. But it’s not that you don’t know enough vocabulary words, instead is that you haven’t put into practice the vocabulary words that you have learned. There are tons of English vocabulary words that you’ve learned from English lesson or even by listening to different English podcast or watching English films. You have learned them but you haven’t had the opportunity to use them yet. Change that and start putting into practice the vocabulary that is in your brain.
3. Your pronunciation is bad
Let’s got an example in America, there are so many different cultures such as Indian Americans, Japanese Americans, African Americans, and so forth. So that they have many different accents in America. So, stop saying that your pronunciation is bad, because if you do so when you go to speak English with another native English, you will get nervous in your brain and that takes away your confidence. Speaking English confidently and fluently because your confidence is so important.
4. English is too hard
English is not an easy language to learn, but you can study following a certain system or method that makes the process enjoyable. Find your enjoy way to learn it. Stop telling yourself English is too hard because the moment you say it, your brain says “okay, I’m not going to make any effort to help you conquer this language. I’m not going to help you to reach your goal because you were saying it is too hard”. Well, you have to figure out what you can do to enjoy the process, follow a course or teacher or any else. But you need to find something that makes English enjoyable.
5. You don’t have enough time
Make time for the things that are important to you, especially if you need to speak English fluently. If you’re married, you make time for your spouse. If you’re work in full office hours, make some time in weekend, and so forth. Even if it’s five minutes a day, five minutes can make a difference. So, stop saying you don’t have enough time, instead of find the time.
6. You can’t speak English because you don’t live in America
This was not true. You can learn English in anywhere even if you’re not live in America. There are may people could speak English fluently as an American but they’re not American or live in America. Why? Because they found the time as the last points I had mentioned. They found the time and it is possible. You can speak English as a native even if you never been to other country, but you must believe it and stop saying you can’t speak English because you don’t live in America.
7. Your English is not good
Stop starting conversation with someone “hey I’m sorry, my English is not good”. Don’t say that, because what happens when you say it, you hinder yourself from speaking with confidence. Just start speaking either good or bad, fluent or not, just start.
These 7 points that you have to stop saying will help your goal to speak English fluently with confidence. You have to remember, it’s not just about learning words, learning expression.
