I feel the need to sensationalize the English language. Just because you don’t feel you are proficient in English doesn’t mean you need to fish or cut bait. It means you need to get granular and practice more. Just take your learning and your pitfalls in stride. All good things come to those who wait, or in your case, practice. A tip that I tell my students all the time is to start with 2 minutes a day and just talk to yourself.
Examples:
Wow, these eggs are really fresh. Yesterday they weren’t as tasty.
What a great day I had. I’m so tired but I’m also so excited for what’s in store tomorrow.
I’m so pissed off at John. He was late again for the meeting. How are we ever going to get ahead if he can’t keep such a small commitment
Just talk to yourself. Once you feel up to it, move up to 5 minutes or 10 minutes. When you are ready you can move up to talking with a friend.
Feel free to add some jargon or new words you used
Examples:
Wow, I need to get granular and get my report out
That meeting was so boring until John told us about the merger. What a paradigm shift
Don’t forget to keep me posted as to how it’s going.
