    E4 Confidence in English as an Introvert

    Do you ever feel like confident English is reserved for people who are naturally more extraverted than you?

    There’s this idea that confidence in English means speaking fast, filling every silence, and being the loudest person in the room.

    But after years of working as an English coach, let me tell you - that simply isn’t true.

    In this episode, I explain how to build genuine confidence in English, with three simple and practical steps to get you there, all while honouring your natural disposition as an introvert.

    You don’t need a new personality to sound confident in English.

    You just need a way of building confidence that fits who you are.
