🎙 The Shame Loop — When Confidence Collapses in English

You don’t sound small in English because you lack words —
you sound small because you carry shame.

This episode of The Woman Behind the Words isn’t about fixing English.
It’s about understanding what happens inside when your confident self disappears the moment you speak.

You’ll hear a story, a truth, and a reframe that might help you reconnect with the voice you thought you’d lost.

💭 Because confidence isn’t a skill — it’s self-trust under pressure.

What if your next breakthrough in English isn’t about learning more — but about trusting yourself more?

“The Pro Behind the Words” - You don’t need new words. You need the REAL YOU who speaks them.

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE UNA ESTUDIANTE QUE SE LLAMA VICTORIA.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.

1. ¿Que tan bueno eras en la escuela?

2. ¿Cual era tu materia favorita?

Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.


Victoria al escribir los números en su libreta lo
pasa muy bien.

Para hacer el uno pinta una rayita de arriba
abajo en el papel y le pone después una teja.
Para hacer el dos dibuja con cuidado el cuello
de un cisne.

Para dibujar el tres pone dos montañas de pie y
sigue con sus dibujos, para hacer un cuatro primero
una cruz y después le baja un palito como una vela.


Sigue con el cinco y el seis. ¡Qué fácil es! El
seis es un círculo que no puede cerrar. Y así poquito
a poco hasta el nueve que lo pinta despacito primero
un círculo y después le añade con cuidado una cola
de gato.

Victoria ya sabe escribir todos los números.
