Exercise: Why Your English Disappears When It Matters This is not a language exercise. It’s an observation exercise. Take 10–15 minutes. Be honest. Don’t try to sound smart. Step 1 — Name the exact moment (2 minutes) Answer in one sentence: In which exact situation does your English fail you most? Examples: job interview meeting with senior people presenting ideas answering unexpected questions Choose one situation only. Step 2 — Observe what actually happens (3 minutes) Complete these sentences quickly: When this situation starts, my body feels __________ My thoughts become __________ My voice becomes __________ The first emotion I feel is __________ Don’t correct your English. Don’t explain. Just notice. Step 3 — Separate knowledge from performance (3 minutes) Make two short lists. List A — “I know this” words I know grammar I know ideas I could express List B — “But I don’t use it” what disappears what I avoid saying what I simplify too much Most people are surprised here. This is usually the moment they realise: the problem is not missing knowledge. Step 4 — The role check (4 minutes) Answer this question honestly: Who am I trying to be in that moment? Examples: “someone perfect” “someone who makes no mistakes” “someone who doesn’t look stupid” Now ask yourself: Is this a real role — or a defensive one? Most learners discover something uncomfortable here: they never built a clear role for English. They built skills. And fear filled the gap. Step 5 — One reflection (1 minute) Finish this sentence: “If I stopped learning English for a moment and started building the role of __________, my English would feel __________.” A quiet note If this exercise felt unsettling, that’s not accidental. This is usually the point where people understand why years of learning didn’t change how they feel — and why the solution was never “more English”.

Did you know that Cambridge says it takes about 200 hours to move one English level? Sounds reasonable, right? Now let’s do simple math. Many adults have studied English for 10–15 years. School. University. Courses. Apps. Tutors. That’s not 200 hours. That’s often 1,000+ hours. So here’s the uncomfortable question: Why do so many people still freeze, panic, and feel weak when it matters? Meetings. Interviews. Presentations. If hours were the answer, this problem wouldn’t exist. But it does. Because English doesn’t fail in the classroom. It fails under pressure. Not because you don’t know enough words. But because the person who must use those words was never built. Skills grow with time. Confidence under pressure does not. And no app, grammar book, or extra course explains this part. Most people just keep “learning more” and hope the feeling will disappear. It rarely does. Think about it.
