3 Quick Tips to Sound More Confident in English Conversations

Mirien

Many students tell me they struggle with confidence when speaking English. Here are three simple things you can try today:

1️⃣ Pause, don’t rush: Take a breath before speaking. Pausing gives you time to think and makes your speech sound more natural.
2️⃣ Use simple sentences: Focus on clarity, not complexity. Short, clear sentences are easier to understand and build confidence.
3️⃣ Practice one phrase daily: Pick a useful phrase (e.g., “Could you repeat that, please?”) and use it in conversation or roleplays. Small wins add up fast!

?? Try these tips in your next conversation — you’ll notice a difference in your confidence and fluency!

Which tip will you start using today?
