Imagine this scene: A: “Why are you late?” B: “Because I ___ the bus.” A) miss B) missed C) have missed 🎬 Which one sounds natural? Now translate the complete sentence into French.

What’s the one question I get asked more than any other? “How long does it take to speak English confidently in meetings?” And every time, I answer with another question: “How long have you been learning?” The answers I hear: five years, seven years, even ten years. Ten years – and still not feeling fluent enough. So maybe it’s not about the number of years. It’s not that you’re missing too many words. It’s that you’re carrying something that stops you from using the words you already have. That’s a different problem. And it doesn’t take years to fix. How many years have you been learning? 👇

I'm attending a summer school in Oxford now. Could you recommend something for me？I wanted to buy some gifts for my parents and grandparents. Thank you so much!

My mentee – who worked for Gucci – was leading negotiations with their global headquarters. In English. Afterwards, she told me: “I’m a failure.” She was one step away from becoming the head of one of the world’s top luxury houses in China. There are only three women like her in the world (OK, I’m joking – but very few). I asked her to repeat it because I thought I’d misunderstood. She wasn’t joking. She genuinely felt that way – specifically about the part of her job that required speaking English. That day, I stopped trusting people’s self-assessments at face value. The person you think you are and the person you actually are – they’re often two different people. And they need to be introduced. So now I’m asking you: What would you say about yourself right now – and how true is it, really? 👇 #EnglishLearning #BusinessEnglish #ImposterSyndrome #italki #SelfAwareness #anatolyglazkovmentor
