My English Learning Story | How I Overcome My fear of Speaking English | Kashish choudhary english

Key wellness / self-care / productivity strategies & takeaways (learning-focused)

• Reframe fear as part of learning

  • She describes stopping herself from speaking due to fear of being laughed at and making errors.
  • Turning point: mistakes are not enemies; they’re part of the learning process.

• Don’t wait for “perfect grammar” before speaking

  • She thought she had to perfect grammar, tenses, pronunciation, etc. first.
  • Improved approach: start speaking anyway and let mistakes guide learning.

• Practice through “real” speaking, not just study

  • Talk to yourself as a daily habit (conversation with yourself).
  • Practice includes narrating:
    • her day, goals, plans, intentions
    • things around her (e.g., plants)
  • Keep going even when you’re unsure or make errors.

• Use small, measurable speaking goals

  • Example goals:
    • speak continuously for 1 minute
    • then 2 minutes
  • After meeting the time goal, add topics and keep composing sentences.

• Choose engaging topics to stay consistent

  • Pick topics you care about, such as:
    • a country (e.g., South Korea)
    • traditions/culture/manner of communication
    • your classes, friends, and personal interests

• Expect common setbacks (and don’t quit)

  • Typical issues include:
    • forgetting words mid-sentence
    • not finding the right phrases to express feelings
  • Strategy: don’t stop the conversation—continue speaking to build fluency.

• Reduce overthinking about others’ judgment

  • She realized people don’t notice your mistakes as much as you think, because everyone is focused on their own lives.
  • Practical takeaway: don’t stop due to one mistake or others’ reactions.

• Stay consistent despite busy schedules

  • Even with college/practicals/homework, practice doesn’t need “many hours”—just consistent effort.
