Real tips from a non-native English speaker I used to feel shy and unsure when speaking English. But with time, patience, and daily practice, I started seeing real improvement.

I told myself ; “It’s okay. Just speak.” This small mindset shift gave me courage to begin. Step 2: I Practiced Speaking Alone I started talking to myself in English  describing what I was doing, how I felt, or even practicing sentences I’d heard on YouTube.

This helped me understand how native speakers speak nat...
