““My Success Story” Confidence Building Exercise. Episode 401. For my students – entrepreneurs and C-level managers – a lack of confidence isn’t solely about grammar; it’s often rooted in perception and the perceived risks associated with speaking English. When I talk about risk, I’m referring to the fear of making mistakes, the fear of being judged, the fear of rejection, or of being looked down upon. Does that resonate with your experience? If so, keep reading, I understand where you’re coming from. Miscommunication can be particularly challenging for high achievers. The fear of failing to secure a deal, of giving the wrong impression, or of appearing incompetent – these are common thought patterns for many language learners. But you are not like that. You’ve had past successes, you have victories, you’ve achieved significant heights before, correct? Then why do you allow these destructive thoughts to take hold and undermine your confidence each day? Ultimately, you are responsible for both your successes and your setbacks. Now, let’s move into the exercise. My voice will be calm and soothing, guiding you towards a more relaxed, ‘alpha-level’ state. From this state, you will be able to re-evaluate your situation from a new perspective, and more importantly… enjoy the process! I look forward to seeing you in my 1-1 VIP coaching classes. To Your Success, Anatoly”

Hello, I am a native Persian speaker of the Iranian dialect (a.k.a Farsi) and also a certified teacher of Persian (Farsi & Dari). I know basic Spanish and I am fluent in English. I need to learn the main thing that divides the Tajiki dialect of Persian (the Cyrillic script) from other dialects, and in return I can teach Perso-Arabic script, basic Spanish or English. I am also leading a volunteer project for spreading Persian knowledge (all dialects) amongst English speakers for which I can use the help of people who are passionate about the Persian language as much as I am. If there's any Tajik speaking person who wants to help me or exchange their knowledge with mine, I would really appreciate it. Thank You [GOOGLE TRANSLATE TAJIK VERSION:] Салом, Ман як порсии зодаи гӯиши эронӣ (форсӣ) ҳастам. Чизи асосиеро, ки гӯиши тоҷикии форсиро (хатти сириллик) аз гӯишҳои дигар ҷудо мекунад, бояд биомӯзам ва дар иваз метавонам хатти форсӣ-арабӣ, инглисии пешрафта ё испании оддиро омӯзам. Агар ягон нафари тоҷикзабоне бошад, ки ба ман кумак кунад ё дониши худро бо дониши ман мубодила кунад, ман хеле миннатдор хоҳам буд. Сепoс

My English grammar is poor - how to improve that? Episode 399 Why learners think their grammar is poor: 1 .Comparison with Native Speakers 2. Fear of Judgment 3. Perfectionism 4. Focus on Mistakes 5. Cultural Differences 6. Lack of Confidence 7. Unrealistic Expectations 8. Overly Focused on Formal Grammar Which one are you? Did you even know that ALL students do it and you are not alone in it? :) How to correct the thinking pattern: Reframe the Belief: Instead of “My grammar is poor,” rephrase it to something more constructive, such as: “My grammar is still developing,” “I’m making progress in my English,” or “I’m learning new grammar every day.” This shift in mindset is crucial. Focus on Progress, Not Perfection: Celebrate small victories. Notice your improvements, no matter how subtle. Track your progress. Embrace Mistakes as Learning Opportunities: View mistakes as opportunities for growth. Don’t dwell on errors; instead, learn from them and move on. This is a key part of the language learning process. Compare Yourself to Your Past Self, Not Native Speakers: Focus on your own improvement, recognizing that language acquisition takes time and dedication. Celebrate your progress. Build Confidence: Engage in activities where you can feel successful. This might involve writing, speaking, or simply listening to English. Focus on the positive aspects of your ability. Focus on Communication, Not Just Accuracy: The most important thing is to communicate effectively, even if your grammar isn’t perfect. Emphasis should be on understanding and being understood. Which point did you like best that you are going to incorporate in your mental image from now on? and let me know what are your current challenges are that I can help you to overcome them step by step. Join my 1-1 coaching classes and we'll dive deep.
