Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am always on the quest to improve my english speaking and your videos are always packed with so much!
i've just stopped the video in the first 5 minutes to bring attention to the beautiful language here, how many useful vocabulary and a variety of synonyms that make this lesson enjoyable and rich... thank you ❤
How clear you speak! It' amazing! I can understand nearly all of tou say, but I can't manage it with other speakers! It's really a pitty and I don't know how to overcome it!
@@domenecarditcliment6812 I admit that there is a lack of clarity and coherence in my statement and it’s up to normal, I am not a native speaker, however, it’s not bad and it won’t deter me to keep learning.🙂
Hello my dear!!! I heard your vídeo and I really loved it! You said "Join a club or volunteer organization" and I really love to join, but I am from Brasil and I don't know where I can find this Kind of place. Do you know any to indicate ? Thanks a lot ❤ Kisses
Speaking daily in english with myself as well as with anyone like i want talk with them or they want to talk with me, its action I am still doing this thing from 40 days and because of my consistency I seeing my improvement. And I really like your suggestion as you told in video you navigate me very good. Thanks a lot. 🎉 From ......India 🇮🇳
The confidence… Oh my Goodness… How I would like to feel confident , maybe it’s because I need to master my English. Even though I graduated in Languages Portuguese/ English, I feel that I need to improve more, so that I feel comfortable to speak, not to speak , but to make more videos ( contents ) . You’re brilliant Annemarie . How I admire you … Congrats for your amazing job . Thank you for everything. ❤️
@@Speakconfidentenglish. Thank you so much for your tips, I have difficulties speaking English. I mean pronouncing words, but when it comes to writing I speak fluently. I learnt English through reading, as I'm a passionate reader. But I have a problem, when I have written conversations, the words flew easily, and I answers instantly. Yet, when it comes to speaking, the words eludes me and I start searching for words to describe what I intend to say. Is it normal? Have you met someone who have the same problem as me?
Thank you for the question. It is not uncommon to feel more comfortable in writing. Not only do you have time to think in advance but you there is also less fear of judgement. If you haven't yet, I recommend following my How to Say What You Want in English training, which will share a technique for getting meaningful speaking practice that improves fluency and confidence. www.speakconfidentenglish.com/say-what-you-want-in-english/
First I would like to thank you for this video. you have just confirmed to me that fluency is not about speaking fast but speaking smooth and clearly, therefore people understand what you say no matter what is there level of English.
Wow! I was looking for this content type of content and I got it. I am from India and I had a huge stage fright believing all those myths. Now I can move on to the next level of fluency establishing myself as a confident English speaker. I joined an English-speaking community and I have built up my confidence level tenfold faster. I am following you...thank you...from India❤❤❤
Is there any community spaces/channels that can help me to get an opportunity to build my confidence in speaking this language? I am feeling bored!! But still, I am Enthusiastic and motivated. Please help me to get a key of becoming an English speaker 🔊
I just found this video. In my teaching career, I always have a thought that speaking so fast is good and better than speaking slowly. When I teach my students in class, I now have principle that dont have to speak fast. Again, clarity and fluent are needed to make my students understand what I am explaining in class. I dont need to rush. Perhaps for some people it is annoying listening to a slows speaker. I more believe now that what I have done is correct. Other thing is perhaps we dont have to show people some difficult words to show that we are Inteligent or educated. Bravo Anne, Thank You.
I'm glad you have a new way of thinking about fluency. With slightly slower speech and improved clarity, you can still speak in a powerful, engaging way that keeps your audience's attention.
The greatest lesson i learnt today is the good/confident English spearker isnot fast speaker. Im impressive at the way you speak: clarify, nature and fluency. I will practice this from now.
My first action is to writing down the point you have mentioned, summarize them and speak at loud for my self and then record the speech and send it to a friend. this is how I am going to expand my comfort zone. Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️
This sounds fantastic! The best practice is repeated practice. That will help you remember what you learned. Therefore, I would recommend continuing this process with other lessons. 😉
Hi Annemarie. This is Kevin who lives in Korea and really eager to speak English with confidence and fluency. I found your channel in few weeks ago and began your training. Your training is very convincing for me to have a motivation and confidence to get there I want for my life in English. I will make a habit of practice everyday no matter which situation I am. Thank you for being my teacher and will keep you posted my progress.✌️
Hi Kevin, thank you for watching my lessons. I'm thrilled you are following my training and making time for daily practice! Please keep me updated on your progress. I am eager to learn more about your English journey. 😀
This is a wonderful video! As an introvert, I've always found myself thinking in my native language before speaking in English. This has made me feel less confident about expressing my thoughts in English. Today, I learned that I need to shift my mindset and take action without overthinking or worrying too much about making mistakes.
I'm thrilled the lesson was so helpful. Thank you for sharing what you learned. Mistakes are how we learn, it's part of the process. I wish you much success on your English journey with this new outlook. 😀
What a great lesson! Thank you, AnneMarie! I did a training last year on facilitating workshops where we did an exercise: at the end of day one, we made a presentation to our group, and we got feedback. Later we repeated the presentation on day 3. One thing that surprised me was that everyone slowed down when they were presenting, and the message was much clearer. When I rush to speak, it is my signal that I’m not confident in my message :)
I'll start to learning English with podcasts and then make a summary about them. That's a great idea i got from you! I Will commit always practicing and practicing until iam fluent in English. Your vidio is like motivation for me because sometimes i feel unmotivated to learn English , i enjoyed your vidio so much!. Thank you!
I want thank you so much. I'm beginner learning english and I don't any idea how long time need for me be fluent in english, I really need teacher who help me and give my hand to rise❤
You're very welcome. When developing English confidence, one option is to download my free "How to Say What You Want in English" training. It's an in-depth training I offer on my website to gain confidence in your English. www.speakconfidentenglish.com/say-what-you-want-in-english
Thank you for this wonderful video! I would like to share how I improved my English throughout the years. One of the things I used to do (and in fact, still do) is write a diary in English. Since English is not my native language, this was a challenge for me, and I couldn't use English all the time. For example, I managed to write 1 page in English and another in my mother tongue. This made me feel way more confident in expressing myself mostly because I didn't think about it AT ALL - I just wrote what came to mind spontaneously. And didn't care about the mistakes. I totally enjoyed the process. This is what I would call the safe space for me you talked about - that space where you can easily make mistakes, even the silliest ones, without being judged. Since I am a teacher myself now, I still find it useful, because, you know, I spot myself sometimes writing down something very ungrammatical, which, of course, if said in the classroom, would be uncomfortable. I could also add to this that your tips could also be related to overcoming stammering; I used to stammer a lot as a child and somehow overcame it by having more friends; but sometimes I still have had problems with that when under stress. I recently realised that by speaking more slowly and giving myself more time to think, I overcome it totally. So yeah, a very inspiring video!
Dear AnneMarie, I love your lessons. My commitment this week about improving my English is to listen to my favorite songs in English! Thank you for your advices!
You are a good English teacher who gives learners many specific ways to build confidence to speak English,I will take action from today on. Thank so much!

I really got so happy to find you and you push me in my way to join my lovely family with this post . Thank you so much and i wish you recommend me the ways i could do it faster . Wish you a brillant life . 🙏🙏⚘️⚘️
I would like to say that I am very happy to discover your channel. It's a gem! Congratulations! Thank you for helping us better understand this wonderful language. Greetings from Brazil.
Your English teaching approach is refreshingly simple, effective, and incredibly useful for learners at all levels. Your clear explanations and wonderful advice make learning English a breeze. Thank you for making such valuable content accessible to everyone
I 've listened your video till the end. I'm interesting that you can give us a path to learn English even like me(Intermediate Learners in English) I'm so comfort to learn it and I happy to learn it. You give me more motivation for my learning. Thank you so much! Teacher❤
I read a book that really helps me, now I know the secret how to learn to speak English quickly. The only thing that keeps us to still not learn to speak English is our mind. If you're afraid to speak English because you think you will commit mistakes, then sorry you will never learn to speak English. Trying to speak English doesn't mean to be perfect just like we learned in school. But speaking in English is to communicate, don't be afraid to make an error. Speak in English forget the "one correct answer" rule that school taught us, your study to communicate and not to impress your teacher. You're not in school anymore, use what ever you learned in reality. Just like me, I never afraid if I have mistakes in my sentences, I'm not native English speaker. So, what I'm afraid? I'm just a learner, means it's natural to have a mistake. Just speak again and again in English. THE FACT IS IT IS BETTER TO TRY AND TRY AND MISTAKE AND TRY AGAIN THAN NOTHING. So, you know the answer why you didn't learn or progress, because of the wrong mindset. Be always positive, don't think any bad things. Your focus is to learn.
Help a Non-Native English Language Teacher. I need help with how verbs agree with sentences that begin with percentages, portions and fractions. For example, do I say, three-quarters of the building has been painted or three-quarters of the building have been painted. Should I say, A range of options have been made available or a range of options has been made available. Please I need clarifications, the answers I get from AI is different from the lessons I've read and watched online. Thanks as I anticipate your reply.
With these sentences you still want to follow basic subject-verb agreement rules. In your first example, the subject is the singular noun "the building" so you verb would be has. And in your second, the subjection is "options" thus a plural verb form is the right choice.
I like the way you teach English. Your lessons are completely useful for anyone on the path to speaking English clearly, fluently and confidently. I felt very good listening to this video. You're a good person. congratulations just for being you.
One of my key sources of confidence when speaking publicly has been to not care about my audience. Particularly as I have continued to grow in age; when you get older you stop caring about some things, including people's opinions and what they think. When younger, you put many people on a pedestal, and so when standing before people you are often conscious of what people are thinking about you and you try hard to prove a point, only ending up anxious and making even more mistakes. When you stop caring, you become yourself, are more comfortable in your skin, and you do your thing.
Glad I found your page❤❤now I don’t have to think I need to speak fast to be fluent and clear, I will be listening to your videos once daily through out this week as a step to improve my interest in getting better at English..
Fantastic! I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson. For more in-depth training and practice, you can check out my 'Get the Confidence to Say What You Want' video. www.speakconfidentenglish.com/say-what-you-want-in-english/
I would like to listen to a podcast or Ted talk once a week. I think this is good to start with. I would also choose words I find interesting and do not know in order to build my vocabulary. I think joining a community to speak is a great idea as well. Thank you for the suggestions!!
You're welcome! Your plan to start listening to a podcast weekly is an excellent start. 👏 You can learn more about the Confident Women Community + get a FREE study guide similar to what we use in the community on the website, www.speakconfidentenglish.com/community/
Thank you so much American English Teacher. I would like to follow you to improve my English speaking skill. I am 100 percentage agree with you that practice make a person perfect. I will try to speak English confidently from now. Your Video is very useful for me. In which you told the English learners that how they can boost and improve their English speaking skill. Once again I!d like to say you a thanks a lot. May God bless you

oh my god you explain what ive been trying to tell anyone "that im not an introvert but rather in English it is just different and the experiences has made me become more of an introvert"
I loved it! Thank you so much for explaining this quite clearly because english isn't my first language and I struggled wiith the words all the time, so I'll take action this week by listening TED talks.
Wonderful you are an encouraging teacher I study English for few months now and I started to stuck and feel less confident. So your videos are really helpful. Thank you I would like to be your student.
You're so very welcome. I'm glad my videos are helpful. You can find out how to learn with me in my online courses at speakconfidentenglish.com/courses
I was born a confident speaker but I realized that everything improves with environment and people surrounding one. Thank you for mentoring us. This lovely ❤
My first step will be speak loud and clear in a slow pace possible and to analyse were i am pausing and find suitable/appropriate word possible so i can learn fast and overcome gaps.
Wooo teacher...is one of the most powerful videos that i have ever watched, it has motivated me a lot...I don't have the right words for thank you ❤❤❤❤❤ you are amazing 😊😊thank you
I've just watched so clear and performed at super professinal level video lesson that also include some important psychological advices. Thank you so much, dear Annemarie!
Thank you for encouraging me today.i knew that I am speaking English fluent ,mostly vocabulary English .I fell embarrassed when I see people speaking fluent and when I listen to news
Enjoyable moment 🎉. This is the first time I have been with you, and I really feel confident and relaxed that I can speak any where, without any fear of making a mistake. Thank you
I would like to say:"Thank you!"again and again! You really provide me with virtual support and help me to keep positive view.really appreciate for all🌹
OMG! From the beginning to the end of this video, I was only being jealous of your nice pronunciation as well as fluency. You're wonderful. I would also recommend recording some managemental and interview helpful videos for those people who intend to pass any job interview or language tests. Thanks
Thank you for the kind comments. When it comes to job interviews you might like to check out my Confident Job Interviews, it's an online self paced course, www.speakconfidentenglish.com/confident-job-interview-course/ I also have several other videos on the topic which you can find in the video library on my website, www.speakconfidentenglish.com/category/job-interviews-in-english/
Thank you for your feedback. You say some people are quite natural in public speaking but some people are quite shy and my question is what lies behind their shyness? What is the reason behind their shyness,, awkwardness, embarrassment and discomfort? It is because of their childhood upbringing, or growth up in an environment where social gathering was not common or inferiority complex because you know our environment influences our character. I wish I hadn't been shy and awkward in public speaking. Sometimes shyness can only hinder your progress. You have the brilliant ideas but you can't get it across because of shyness and you will be misheard and misunderstood. I wish I hadn't been shy in my youth. It only causes you embarrassment and anxiety. I find your words quite useful especially the one that you mentioned: Even the most introverts can be natural public speakers.. I fully agree with you on all those points. I appreciate that. Thumbs up! Cheers!
Thanks for the comment and the question. There are a multitude of reasons why someone might be shy or introverted or uncomfortable in public speaking - or all of the above. What is important to note is that you can absolutely learn to communicate with clarity and confidence. You can get comfortable with speaking up to share your ideas. And you can learn skills that ensure your message is delivered exactly the way you want. They key is commiting to the process of learning and practicing the right strategies. 😊
Hi, Anne ! 🖐 I love the way you speak ❤ it's so clear, at medium speed, so it's easier for me to understand English better 😊 thanks for sharing your amazing video ! 😍

Greetings from Brazil.
Thank you for the kind comments! 😀
Your English teaching approach is refreshingly simple, effective, and incredibly useful for learners at all levels. Your clear explanations and wonderful advice make learning English a breeze. Thank you for making such valuable content accessible to everyone
You're very welcome! Thank you for the kind comments. I'm thrilled my lessons are so valuable.
I 've listened your video till the end. I'm interesting that you can give us a path to learn English even like me(Intermediate Learners in English) I'm so comfort to learn it and I happy to learn it. You give me more motivation for my learning. Thank you so much! Teacher❤
You're very welcome! I'm glad to know the lesson was so helpful. 😀
It's my first time here. Every day I listen to a podcast or a class with a English teacher. Today I see you. ❤
Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate it.
The combination of coach and English teacher. An excellent combination. I liked! Thank you very much ma'am :)😇
I read a book that really helps me, now I know the secret how to learn to speak English quickly. The only thing that keeps us to still not learn to speak English is our mind. If you're afraid to speak English because you think you will commit mistakes, then sorry you will never learn to speak English. Trying to speak English doesn't mean to be perfect just like we learned in school. But speaking in English is to communicate, don't be afraid to make an error. Speak in English forget the "one correct answer" rule that school taught us, your study to communicate and not to impress your teacher. You're not in school anymore, use what ever you learned in reality. Just like me, I never afraid if I have mistakes in my sentences, I'm not native English speaker. So, what I'm afraid? I'm just a learner, means it's natural to have a mistake. Just speak again and again in English. THE FACT IS IT IS BETTER TO TRY AND TRY AND MISTAKE AND TRY AGAIN THAN NOTHING. So, you know the answer why you didn't learn or progress, because of the wrong mindset. Be always positive, don't think any bad things. Your focus is to learn.
Help a Non-Native English Language Teacher.
I need help with how verbs agree with sentences that begin with percentages, portions and fractions.
For example, do I say, three-quarters of the building has been painted or three-quarters of the building have been painted.
Should I say, A range of options have been made available or a range of options has been made available.
Please I need clarifications, the answers I get from AI is different from the lessons I've read and watched online.
Thanks as I anticipate your reply.
thank you for your advice. I am always scared to speak in english because they will judge me if my grammar is not correct.
With these sentences you still want to follow basic subject-verb agreement rules.
In your first example, the subject is the singular noun "the building" so you verb would be has.
And in your second, the subjection is "options" thus a plural verb form is the right choice.
Very well said. 😊
Guy 😢it's true
I like the way you teach English. Your lessons are completely useful for anyone on the path to speaking English clearly, fluently and confidently. I felt very good listening to this video. You're a good person. congratulations just for being you.
Thank you for the kind comments!
I will listen to a podcast or TED talk at least once a week and say aloud the gist of what I will listen to. Thank you very much, Annemarie.
You're very welcome.
One of my key sources of confidence when speaking publicly has been to not care about my audience. Particularly as I have continued to grow in age; when you get older you stop caring about some things, including people's opinions and what they think. When younger, you put many people on a pedestal, and so when standing before people you are often conscious of what people are thinking about you and you try hard to prove a point, only ending up anxious and making even more mistakes. When you stop caring, you become yourself, are more comfortable in your skin, and you do your thing.
Glad I found your page❤❤now I don’t have to think I need to speak fast to be fluent and clear, I will be listening to your videos once daily through out this week as a step to improve my interest in getting better at English..
Fantastic! I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson. For more in-depth training and practice, you can check out my 'Get the Confidence to Say What You Want' video. www.speakconfidentenglish.com/say-what-you-want-in-english/
I would like to listen to a podcast or Ted talk once a week. I think this is good to start with. I would also choose words I find interesting and do not know in order to build my vocabulary. I think joining a community to speak is a great idea as well. Thank you for the suggestions!!

It's really great to learn that fluency is about speaking with clarity rather than about speaking too fast!
Thank you for letting me know this!
You're very welcome!
Well understood
You speak well
oh my god you explain what ive been trying to tell anyone "that im not an introvert but rather in English it is just different and the experiences has made me become more of an introvert"
I'm thrilled to know the lesson was relatable! I hope the strategies shared are useful. 😃
I loved it! Thank you so much for explaining this quite clearly because english isn't my first language and I struggled wiith the words all the time, so I'll take action this week by listening TED talks.
Wonderful you are an encouraging teacher I study English for few months now and I started to stuck and feel less confident. So your videos are really helpful. Thank you I would like to be your student.
You're so very welcome. I'm glad my videos are helpful. You can find out how to learn with me in my online courses at speakconfidentenglish.com/courses
"...confidence, motivation and progress all come from taking action..." perfect 👏👏👏👏
I was born a confident speaker but I realized that everything improves with environment and people surrounding one. Thank you for mentoring us. This lovely ❤
It's such a pleasure to listen to your clear and well articulated American English. Have a nice day.
Thank you! You too!
My first step will be speak loud and clear in a slow pace possible and to analyse were i am pausing and find suitable/appropriate word possible so i can learn fast and overcome gaps.
I agree
Thanks for giving knowledge, experience and confidence. Your personality is charismatic, speak very well.
Wooo teacher...is one of the most powerful videos that i have ever watched, it has motivated me a lot...I don't have the right words for thank you ❤❤❤❤❤ you are amazing 😊😊thank you
Wonderful! I'm thrilled to know that this lesson has inspired you. 😍
I've just watched so clear and performed at super professinal level video lesson that also include some important psychological advices. Thank you so much, dear Annemarie!
I'd love to speak to myself loudly.
Really your advice is so worthy
Most of the students feel that speaking faster is a sign of fluency but it is a myth, clarity while speaking is much more important than fluency,
Thank you for encouraging me today.i knew that I am speaking English fluent ,mostly vocabulary English .I fell embarrassed when I see people speaking fluent and when I listen to news
I’m glad the lesson was helpful, and I hope you’ll be able to use the strategies shared.
Thank you, for this video. I’m really confident now.
Being a prospective English teacher, I'm here to learn so much, thank you for this helpful video❤️

I will continue reading books and doing practice by staying in an environment where English is mostly spoken
This is a fantastic plan! Stay focused, it is worth it. 👏
Me too I will try that but sometime I do not know what kind of books I can read

You're very welcome.
Awesome video for anyone who aspires to become a great Public Speaker.❤😊❤
Thank you for the kind comment. 🙂
Thank you for your feedback. You say some people are quite natural in public speaking but some people are quite shy and my question is what lies behind their shyness? What is the reason behind their shyness,, awkwardness, embarrassment and discomfort? It is because of their childhood upbringing, or growth up in an environment where social gathering was not common or inferiority complex because you know our environment influences our character. I wish I hadn't been shy and awkward in public speaking.
Sometimes shyness can only hinder your progress. You have the brilliant ideas but you can't get it across because of shyness and you will be misheard and misunderstood. I wish I hadn't been shy in my youth. It only causes you embarrassment and anxiety. I find your words quite useful especially the one that you mentioned: Even the most introverts can be natural public speakers.. I fully agree with you on all those points. I appreciate that. Thumbs up!
Cheers!
Thanks for the comment and the question. There are a multitude of reasons why someone might be shy or introverted or uncomfortable in public speaking - or all of the above. What is important to note is that you can absolutely learn to communicate with clarity and confidence. You can get comfortable with speaking up to share your ideas. And you can learn skills that ensure your message is delivered exactly the way you want. They key is commiting to the process of learning and practicing the right strategies. 😊
I love how ypu sound, your speaking is so clear.
Thank for making videos.
Thank you, I've learnt a lot. These myths have put fear in me a lot. Now I am confident and can practice my English .
That's wonderful to hear, it's important to overcome fear and practice speaking.
