I'm one of those crazy English teachers. But I always tell my students that it's okay to make mistakes, no one is perfect, even native speakers sometimes make mistakes. I know I am not the best teacher, I admit there are so many things I don't know and many things that I do wrong. But I am sure that my students are going to confidently use English in their lives.
Sounds like you are a fantastic crazy teacher. It amazes me the huge percentage of ESL teachers that kill the confidence of their students. Somehow they forget that the idea is to communicate, not to pass some test.
@@BusinessEnglishwithGrant I just know that there's no way to be absolutely perfect in a foreign language, so if a person waits for it, he will never be satisfied. Thank you for your helpful advice.
@@lexus30058 yes, it is scary to start speaking. But if people would practice speaking as much as they practice grammar and vocabulary, it would be much easier. Think of a young child. They have no idea how to read or write, but they can speak and speak and speak
When you originate from a french speaking country, your care for each word you pronounce. For their population use to correct other when they make mistakes. I have learned English for years. And I'm still learning it to improve it. I'm never satisfied about my level. I thank you so much for this advice
What I learn with pleasure I never forget.It’s true communicating can happen perfectly well even if I make mistakes.The ordinary Englishman is very leniently. A child comes home from his first day at school. His mother asks, “What did you learn today?“ The kid replies,“Not enough.I have to go back tomorrow.”
The kid's response is hilarious! Never enough to learn, right? When you don't fear making mistakes, your speaking becomes free and you are able to communicate more easily!
Totally agree! Confidence is everything when it comes to learning a new language. Keep it up! Unfortunately, most of my clients share stories of their English learning experience and it is has not been common of their non-native English speaking teachers to be giving them confidence. It is quite the opposite, sadly.
It is always confusing to me when people (teachers) are so focused on mistakes. Who cares if you make some mistakes - just communicate your message with feeling!
Thank you so much! Yes, please feel FREE and don't worry about making any mistakes. Enjoy your English speaking and always remember the Golden Rule - It's OK to Make Mistakes!! And this applies to not only English, but everywhere in our life!! 😀
@@achoxisback2171 I mean when you are speaking, if you only focus on trying to be perfect, you will not communicate well. People can communicate very well with bad English if they focus on communicating their message.
Am French speaker,sometimes I find myself so confused how British English and American English standards are different but for now u inspire me to don't be afraid of all both! Cz Many times I mix British and American English standards at the same time, consequently the ppl know me English is my 2nd language, they start to tell me wht are u talking about? U speak French to us? I feel guilty and embarrassed! Thank you for consolidating me sir. Have a great day
Thank you for your note. I really understand you and this situation is common with many of my clients. As I said a few times, try to focus on the message that you want to share with the other person. Just think about that message and making sure the other person gets your message. Do not think about your English and speak from your heart. You will see a big difference. Don't fear English, enjoy it!
I wish all sucess for you Reginaldo. I'm brazilian also and currently i can put the video in 1.5x and get it. You will be able to do the same or better than that
I am a Asian English speaker,working in military with a punch of native speakers, feel stressed when I speak English every day, have to think of how to organize the grammar and use the right words before I speak it,so it is so low efficiency to exchange opinions each other.from now on I decide to make a mistake don’t care about grammar and works just sound out 😂
Hi and thank you for your note. I've got a few things for you to try. As the video says, don't worry about making mistakes. Also, next time you have a conversation with someone in English, forget about your English and try to do 2 things: 1) Focus on the message that your audience needs (why are you talking to them?...to help them with a message); and 2) what do you want them to feel from your message? (maybe happiness, or they need to do something fast, or there is trouble, or some type of feeling). When you focus on your message and a feeling you want them to feel, you will forget about your English and just communicate so much better.! Try it and let me know.
Vc é sincero, diferente de muitos professores que fazem isso com os estudantes apenas para Tirar onda ou engana -los,vc não é professor más passa uma mensagem de segurança para as pessoas apenas com um regra simples, todos podemos cometer enganos e está tudo bem, simples assim! 🇧🇷 🤔
Something similar is happening to me, in my native country i use to talk english a lot and even more foreigners languages and now i just working with native , but know on I don’t care any more
Hi Mr. I really appreciate your advice and your videos, and I need to attest this advice with that many of the native speakers make mistakes when it comes to the grammar rules or vocabulary, so it's completely okay to make mistakes, no one cares :)), I'll always remember "It's okay to make mistakes"
Thank you for your interesting comment. Yes, I make mistakes all the time. And thanks to the internet trolls, they will find every one of my mistakes... haha. Yes, I strongly believe that one should focus on trying to communicate their message to their audience and if they make a few grammar mistakes with that, who cares? The message is the important part of communication.
Maybe we should tattoo it on our foreheads for a daily reminder! Haha Confidence increases when we lose the fear. Enjoy it and don't fear it. Thanks for your comment, please consider subscribing to my channel to get my helpful videos in the future
This is SO great. Just so everyone understands, when they make a movie, they do Take 1, Take 2, Take 3, Take 455.... because they make mistakes and need to do it again. And mistakes in English are just like this MISSED - TAKES. Thank you so much for sharing and you are very lucky to have a GREAT teacher.
Sometimes it's ok to say that 'don't care mistakes, don't care to be perfect' especially when you are a native speaker in your own language. But before we feel confidence to speak a language I mean when we are on the half way of learning a language journey, it's difficult to accept that advice.It's difficult not to don't care of mistakes, not to take care of being perfect.
It's definitely a challenge to let go of perfection when learning a new language, but progress is more important than perfection. A few things are important to realize. First, nobody is perfect in any language. Nobody. Second, the idea of the video is to stop worrying about using perfect words and grammar and just try to be free and communicate your message. Try it. It works. I promise you. I've been doing this with clients for many years. They love it.
These are encouraging words to all of us who are struggling for learning English language. We are dreaming some day wake up speaking English so well that any native speakers can understand us as well as we are able to understand them. This is my dream. I can't denie I love learning languages.
To me, it is so important that you love learning languages. I think too many times people worry about all the work and struggle and don't enjoy the language. Enjoy each language, have fun with it, smile...laugh.
Thank you sir for your information and motivation I am Indonesian, most of Indonesia people speak Indonesian,not English. ..but I love English language ❤
Hello Indonesia!!! So happy to have you join my community. Please enjoy the videos I have posted so far. My channel is very new and I have a lot to share in the future. Thank you again for your kind words.
You're absolutely right sir , we don't need a perfect grammar or vocabulary just we need more confident in communication with audiences, the more importantly that you've said "Maria had a lack of confident that made her of making mistakes
Totally agree! It's all about connecting with your audience,. When we focus on trying to speak so perfectly, many times we don't communicate very well.
I agree with the idea that we mustn't be perfect to speak all we need is to take part of the conversation and focus in the objective of what we want to say
That's exactly it. I see it all the time when people are trying so hard to be perfect that they are not able to communicate their message. Focus on your message, have feeling in your voice and communicate.
The more I detach from the perfect English, the more I feel relax to communicate my message. It is true that our confidence while we are talking make us easier to talk in English.
You said this beautifully. It is really true, isn't it? There is no perfect. I'm not perfect. So, just enjoy it and use it as a tool to communicate and have fun.
Que bueno, tu eres una persona que entiende, comprende, eres humilde para entender que las personas se pueden equivocar, y se ve que tienes paciencia. Sin embargo por otro lado también existen personas, que se dan cuenta la persona habla mal y , se burlan, o te hacen sentir mal.
Eres muy amable. Yes, it is sad but many people in the world are not patient or kind about someone trying to speak their language. It happens to me all the time. But I still want you to think about speaking from your heart and not worrying about your grammar and perfect English when you are speaking. Focus on your message and not on your English. You will see very good results. Have a beautiful day.
You're a true inspiration Grant,this just gives me the confidence i need to not worry about my vocab & grammar when speaking & more importantly making mistakes left and right,after all nobody cares about that but the message & confidence.
Sir i am from Bangladesh. I love watching your videos. I have been learning English for about 7 years.Whenever i watch your videos i feel so confident ❤
Hello Bangladesh!!! I'm so happy to read your message. I think I do things differently. I'm a confidence coach and I'm glad to hear that you are feeling more confident. Thank you for enjoying my videos.
Is great your message. I am became more confident speaking english with my partness in the USA. I am brazilian, my native language is portuguese and is very important to know comunicate in english.
I'm so happy to hear this!!! This is exactly how I try to help people. And my message in this video is exactly what can help you in your situation with US partners. They don't really care about your English - but they really care about your message!!! Thank you very much for sharing your story.
But I have to be perfect to be accepted to work as either an English coach or an English homework assistant (cheer students/kids up to be a really cheerful coach my dream ),especially because I’m not an English native speaker. 😭 😭 they accept more English native speakers than the other one. And a lot of people told me to give up this profession due to my position as an non-English native speaker. I’m feeling really down at this moment. Thank you 🙏 for your videos . It’s really good and enjoyable 😊
Hi. It sounds like you have been trying very hard to improve you English. Congratulations! It is so difficult. One thing you can try is to stop trying to speak with perfect English but instead speak with feeling. When you focus on giving your message with feeling, you will speak so much better. Try it! You'll like it.
I have been trying so hard sir. It’s really rare I’m proud of myself but more than two years ago I couldn’t even speak and understand people and know I can. I have been going through different emotions from happiness to depression with lack of confidence as well. Some relatives around don’t really believe in this retraining due to this one for them it’s only a “hobby” and other people when I asked some advice on what I should do to become one of them.They just responded me to give up, it’s not for me especially because I’m a non native speaker and also they added by saying “following my writing skills,they won’t never sign up with me for their kids” (I desire to be an English coach for kids(I must try because I’ve never teach before it but I love challenges)) (it was surely true but I got hurt the ways they told me that). fortunately I have two people who cheer me up a lot. Thank you so much for your advice,I’ll implement it and give a shot. Thank you 🙏
Hello El Salvador!!! So happy you find my voice easy to understand. Please enjoy my other videos and subscribe for many more videos to come in the future.
Thanks for your advice. It was so useful. And I understand you, I don't need to know every grammars, but really I want to be confidently, when I speak and having communicate with someone. Thanks 🙏 I'm from Russia But Also I want to say your smile is very beautiful, I like it😊
I love your note. Thank you for sharing it with everyone. Yes, the idea is that you want to be confident giving your message to someone. And if we worry too much about grammar, our message will not be clear. Our grammar and our vocabulary will keep improving as we get more confident. But today, let's just try to communicate our message the best we can.
thank you for making video of this !! because i was pursue perfectnism when it comes to speaking english like accent/vocabulary but after watch this it gaves me more confidence
Who needs perfectnism when you've got confidence? Keep shining in your English skills! Native speakers aren't perfect. Just enjoy it and focus on communicating your message.
It's okay to make mistake! That's a good advice to English learners, and for me as well. I often focus on grammar when I wanna say something and when I got mistakes, I felt so bad about my English. After this video, I feel more confident in speaking without thinking about my grammar. I hope I could be better then! Thanks for your sharing! Love and hugs from Vietnam.
Thank you for your note. I love your country and I am in your beautiful country right now. Yes, please just think about what message you want to communicate with someone. Only focus on that message. Don't worry about the words. Just really think about the message that you want to share with the other person. Speak from your heart and do not worry about your English. You will see a big difference.
@@BusinessEnglishwithGrant Thanks for encouraging me, and how nice to know that you are visiting my country! If you have time, visit Nha Trang City where I'm living! It's a wonderful city!
I was waiting for straight up my English to dive into business oppurtunities. may be i should dive now. i relaxed after watched your video even it was first time
Привет из Узбекистана. Меня зовут Нуриддин. Я изучаю английский язык. Ваш совет мне очень понравился. Спасибо большое вам. Желаю вам удачи! С уважением Нуриддин
Hello Uzbekistan!!! So happy you have subscribed to my channel and you are here commenting. I had a client some years ago from Tashkent and he is a fantastic man.
@@user-qi8lh9mv9l This is a great goal. I have worked with many people that had the same goal. Your key is to really practice your English speaking. Without confident English speaking it is very difficult to do business in the U.S. Please follow my advice in my videos and you will prepare yourself for this.
At first glance, this video's title looks plausible but most foreigners who can't speak English fluently used to be mocked by native speakers as they can't speak correctly. Many Americans want to ridicule non-native speakers who can't speak American English perfectly, thus, those non-native speakers don't want to talk with Americans in the street. The most ridiculous things are those Americans are not multilingual, and just monolingual guys who can't speak foreign languages at all. Why do many non-native speakers have some ESL study processes at community colleges in the US? If Americans don't use the sentence "Stop using broken English!" in front of non-native speakers, many English learners will follow this video creator's impressive tips and advice. Unfortunately, many Americans don't consider it.
I agree with you, expecially about your opinions of Americans. But, it also seems you didn't watch the full video. I encourage you to do so and then give your thoughts. Thanks.
What a greate video content, sir! You motivate me to speak English confidently without being worried about the grammatical stuffs. I hope I can speak with native speakers to improve my speaking skill one day. Love from Indonesia.
استاذ انت كلامك فيه كل الصدق ولكن الان اخترعوا لنا قصة جديدة هي انه يجب علينا تعلم اللهجة في اللغة خاصة الامريكية السؤال هل اللهجة مهمة في التواصل ارجو الاجابة وشكرا لك تحية لك من الجمهورية العربية السورية❤🇸🇾
Thank you for writing. If I understand your question, I think you are asking if dialect or accent matters when speaking English. To me, the answer is "no," it doesn't matter at all. What matters is that when someone speaks, it should be easy for other people to understand them. If we speak in a way that is difficult for others to understand us, it is like we are punishing our audience and making them work so hard to listen to us. Make it easy on our audience. Speak clearly, but keep your own accent and enjoy English.
Thank you so much for the nice words. It is my real speed of speaking. I speak like this all the time. I invite you to subscribe to my channel to enjoy more slow speaking videos from me.
Thank you very much for your experience as parental uncle also I appreciate for you your beneficiary encouragement how it is important to focus the student what he learns or what she learns
Senhor Grant : this the first time i hear this true and it openned my mind to see the english language of another way , thanks Paulo Roberto Limeira city Brazil
Hi. Thank you for the kind words. Yes, of course, a boss will have minimum language requirements. That is normal. The point of my video is that when you are speaking, you should speak from your heart and not focus on trying to be perfect with your words and grammar. You will speak much more clearly and your boss will be happy. Watch the whole video and try it.
I'm really happy to hear you say this. Building the subtitles is a lot of work and extra hours, but I think it is the best tool for everyone that is looking to build their confidence. I'm glad you enjoy this feature. I know it helps. Thanks again.
I have been saying this to my students for the last 8 years. You just need to make yourself understood. Most native speakers will recognise instantly that English is 'not' your first language and will switch on their 'I'm going to need to listen and be open to interpretation with this person' mode. 😊
Watching your vidio makes me exiting and realize that when we talk to some one ,, we just interesting with the way he / she try to explain the idea or the opinion Not corecting his / her vocab and grammar or his / her pronounciation Just how the masage deliver to us Thank you Grant for sharing this 🙋♀️🤗❤
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it! It really is true. People only care about your message, so please focus on trying to communicate your message and don't worry about making some little mistakes. It really works!
@@BusinessEnglishwithGrant Yes...i just watch your vidio about having fun when learn english😄 And i feel that you are give good impact to all For me as indonesian...i feel happy found your channel I will watch every.sngle vidio's you made And i will enjoy I will love it Thank you Grant🙇♀️❤❤❤👍👍👍🤗

Thank you so much. Excellent advice needs excellent viewers like you to appreciate it! I invite you to subscribe to my channel to receive more excellent advise.
Thanks very to you, saying the truth, after your discussing and listening your speech, I understand and moreover of it, I deeply felt, that not all my body permeated buy English nature word. Please can I ask you, what kind of literature I need to read, for a feeling free in English leading conversation with other people? Thanks
You are welcome and thank you for the kind words. Let's think about your request. You say you want to have a feeling of being free in conversation. The truth is you cannot find this in a book. So, I would not say go find a book to help with your conversations. A very interesting thing you can use is a podcast you like. If you can find a podcast you are interested in AND find the full transcript of that podcast, then you can use that to practice your speaking. Or, if you want to practice speaking, listen to my videos, follow the transcript and shadow my speaking. It is great practice for your conversations.
Hey good morning teacher I'm really one of those guy who always scary when I 'm talking I be shy to make mistakes,sometimes when I tried to speak in front of people they always ask me what I said, they don't understand me sometimes I felt ashamed that's why I always afraid of mistakes as a matter of facts I know someday my progress will be coming.i like your English class I wish to be enroll in that course even though it was difficult to join in English academic even though I make mistakes I still want to join.
Don't worry, everyone makes mistakes when learning a new language. It's great that you're determined to improve! I'll be sharing lots of videos in the future. Use these videos to do shadow English speaking practice. Listen to me and then you speak. Make it fun. Enjoy it. Don't worry about mistakes. Nobody cares if you make mistakes. Only you care.
As english my third language I speak pretty confidently, but still doing grammar mistakes, the sad thing is I've met people who pointed on that and told me it in a rude manner 😭
Hi, Yes, that is sad. I'm sad for those people. They have the problem, you don't have the problem. I'm always so amazed that people can speak so many different languages. You are very impressive to me! Enjoy your English... Smile.
Hello and welcome to my community. So happy you are here. It is nice to hear that you can understand me. The next step is for you to practicing speaking. Just take some time each day and shadow me and speak and speak and speak.
