Professional Teacherš Stop apologising for your English!
How often do you find yourself saying, "Iām sorry, my English is bad"?
When you apologise, you are telling your brain to focus on your mistakes instead of on your message. You are creating a mental block before you even finish your sentence.
Why you should stop saying "Sorry"
⢠It kills your confidence - It makes you feel āless thanā the person youāre talking to.
⢠It creates stress - You become hyper-focused on grammar instead of the conversation.
⢠You are learning another language. Thatās a superpower, not a mistake!
š” Try these Power Swaps instead:
⢠ā Sorry for my bad English.
⢠ā
Thank you for your patience while I explain this.
⢠ā I don't know the word, sorry.
⢠ā
How do you say [your idea] in English? I'm still learning that term.
⢠ā Sorry, did you understand?
⢠ā
Did that make sense, or should I rephrase it?
