It happens to everyone.

✅ What Can You Do?

 

 

1️⃣ Stay calm

Stop. Breathe.

It’s okay ❤️

  • “It’s a thing for…”
  • “You use it when…”

 

 

3️⃣ Use easy words

Simple English is good English ??

No big words needed.

 

4️⃣ Use your hands

Show it with your hands ✋??

Yes, it helps!

 

5️⃣ Say: “I forgot the word”

That’s a perfect sentence!

Teachers understand.

 

6️⃣ Ask for help

Say:

 

  • “What’s the word?”
  • “How do you say this?”

 

 

7️⃣ Keep talking

Don’t stop. Don’t give up.

Confidence = continue ??
