Is having low confidence in English holding you back from achieving your dreams and goals at work?
Do you feel great when you work in your native language, but feel like a very different person when you work in English?
You just can’t communicate at the same high level in English and it is frustrating and holding you back from your dreams.
To become confident in English, I believe you need to really USE English.
You need to speak with feeling and emotion.
You need to become confident using great business words, terms and phrases.
You need to build a high level of business communication skills.

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.
@@NS-neversayneverI love your attitude and couldn’t agree more!
“Nobody cares about your English” - sooooo true!
Only 2 people care - you and your crazy grammar teacher - nobody else cares! They just want to communicate
I agree with the confidence. Foreign language is all about confidence.
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.
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!
When we are learning a language we should remember that we are stranger to it and its natural to make mistakes
These are beautiful thoughts. Thank you so much for sharing. I love this. Can I use it, please?
@@BusinessEnglishwithGrant yes ofcourse
“It is ok to make mistakes” is good & gold rule, 💯
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!! 😀
what do you mean by that ? How will the understand me If I Sepak incorrectly?
@@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.
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.
@@BusinessEnglishwithGrant Thanks.
@@user-oy7rb2mj8q keep smiling
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!
It's the first time I've heard that "It's ok to make mistake". I feel more condifent after watching this video. Thanks for sharing.
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!
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! 🇧🇷 🤔
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 🙏
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!
Os professores aqui do Brasil, nos dizem que devemos até mesmo perder nosso sotaque, mesmo falando corretamente, acho um absurdo, o importante é a comunicação!❤
Accents are like spices in a conversation - a little variety makes it more interesting! Love your passion!
Nobody care Your perfect grammar ❤ your Ture ❤
Yes, it is SO true. Nobody cares. Only you and your teacher. That's all. Everyone else is just happy you are speaking to them.
Thank you Grant!
Sou brasileira, acho que muitos professores fazem isso para dificultar o nosso aprendizado e nos deixar presos a cursos, sempre achei que se é possível ser compreendido, está ótimo, não é necessário ser perfeito! Obrigada pelo video, me inscrevendo agora!❤
Maybe we should start a "Teachers Anonymous" support group for those struggling with difficult educators!
There are lots of teachers out there that I love and respect.
But we all know of too many teachers/schools that are focused on all the wrong things.
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.
@@BusinessEnglishwithGrant Thank you for your kind words 😊
That's correct,
Thank you, sir you make me confident about speaking in English. and you destroyed my fear of English.
Your kind words mean a lot to me. I'm thrilled to have helped you feel more confident in English.
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.

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.
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.
Great work 🎉
Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Following you from Brazil.
Thank you for your support all the way from Brazil!
it was very interesting to me
Awesome to hear you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
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. 😊
Completely agree with you. Your students are lucky to have you! Communication is key, and understanding each other is what matters most!
By mean certain that, where there's a will, there's a way.
I love this!
Anything is possible!
Enjoy the journey and make it fun!
You are amazig!
Thanks so much, you're awesome!
Nice tips

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.
but your pronunciation and voice almost perfect 😂😂
Thank you Grant ❤️ you are my first English teacher
I am honored to know this. Please enjoy all my videos.
nice
Thanks for the nice comment!
I'm certain i speak English better then my peers but i got this problem of usually forgetting the next word when I'm supposed to describe something :(
If you ever get stuck thinking about a word, do this: Use another word or phrase that is more simple AND include a short example. The person listening won't even know you are stuck, because using an example can be so natural. Try it. It works!
Hi grand how you doing?
I couldn't agree more about what you said. it's exactly what I tell to the people they are in a process of learning english stop worrying about your english, beleive in what you say use you own vocabulary and enjoy communicating with the people around the world. In addition to this to me it's mind blowing that people are trying to speak with a perfect english when you are a foreigner. it's all like if they've never spoken with some foreigner, what I mean is there are some people who have been leaving in France for a certain period of time they speak with a broken french but it doesn't mean I don't enjoy speaking in french with them.
Can i say that making is another of doing things?
Hi,
Thank you for your question.
Maybe you can explain your question in a different way and include an example. I want to make sure I'm answering your question clearly.
Thank you.
I appreciate it but I have been learning for 2 months and I can't see any changing
So I was telling to you if I start an online business just like I'm speaking now it can help me in online business are not
Congratulations on learning for two months. That is a great first step. Please be patient. It takes time to become confident in any new language. My advice is to speak as much as you can. Get the words to come out of your mouth and use the language. Good luck to you.
@BusinessEnglishwithGrant Thank you so much, Sir I will continue my journey ❤

Hi Grant 🎉 Are you speaking slowly and clearly just so we can understand you ?
Hello and thank you for your question.
My speaking voice in my videos is the same speaking voice I have in my real life. It is me. I have been speaking slowly during my whole life.
I don't really understand why some people feel it is great to speak fast. I believe that when you speak fast, you make it very difficult for your audience to understand you.
I believe we should be nice to our audience and always try to make it easy for our audience to understand us.
Thanks again for your question.
Grant
@@BusinessEnglishwithGrant Thanks 💜as I understood everything you said, I was wondering… 👌🏻
Im happy to hear you understood everything!
What is perfect. ??
You are perfect, James.
Yes i want do that, but how?🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵👍✌️🙏
Hi. Thank you for your question. The first step is to just try it. Think about what your message is. What are you trying to tell the other person. Focus on that message and speak from your heart. Don't think about your English, just speak and enjoy it.
Really, just try it. Don't have fear. I know it sounds hard, but it really isn't. Be free and speak. Don't worry. You will speak much better.
😂😂
Thanks millions for this tips

Eu tenho mente fotográfica ( 🧠📸 ) enquanto a maioria dos humanos gravam (1 frase) eu gravo uma página inteira 📑, enquanto a maioria grava uma página inteira 📑, eu gravo um livro 📘 inteiro, enquanto a maioria gravam um livro 📘 inteiro,eu gravo uma biblioteca inteira 📗📘📗📘📚 e até hoje apesar de entender o inglês 🇺🇸 mundial 🌏 ainda não sei todas as palavras, pôr tanto meu conselho é: aprendam Vocabulários de aeroportos, hotéis e restaurantes, esqueçam o resto e vá viajar ✈️🛫🛬 mundo a fora, outra coisa tentem apenas expressar 🗣️ suas necessidades, sem se preocuparem com a perfeição, pôr que o caminho 🛣️ para a perfeição é a camisa 🤷♂️🤷♀️ de força da loucura 😵🙃 é muito cômodo para os Americanos nativos 🇺🇸 deixarem todo mundo louco, tentando entender 🤔 o que eles estão falando 🗣️ e apenas ensinar usando sua própria língua pátria, prá vcs terem uma pequena ideia 🧠 é bem provável, qualquer nativo Americano, saber - vocabulários em inglês do que eu, que tenho a memória fotográfica ( 🧠📸 ) eu entendo tudo o que é falado 🗣️, cantado 🎶🎤 lido 🤔 ou escrito ✍️ em inglês, e aínda não sei todos os vocabulários, apesar de ultrapassar uns ( 80%) de toda a língua inglesa 🇺🇸 , simples assim! 🇧🇷 🤔
That is so impressive! I've always wanted a memory like that. I remember about 0.002 of what I read.
I have a different feeling about this topic. I strongly think that people need to stop focusing only on LEARNING a language, but instead focus on USING the language. A language is only useful if it is used.
Focus on USING English for your enjoyment of travel and I think you'll find enjoyment of English at the same time.
Enjoy!

When we are talking, sometimes stuck?????
I tell my clietnts that when they get stuck, they can use a more simple work AND use a simple example. When you add the example, nobody notices and it really works.
I don't any proud myself
Thank you for sharing. Just keep improving 1% a day.
What if I say you are lying..?
If you are saying don't try to be perfect then it is ok.But ofcourse you are good at English or your English is so simple and simple to understand.
First, if you say I'm lying, I guess it makes me a little sad because I'd think that you seem to be very rude as that is a strange first comment to make to someone.
Second, I'd ask why you think I'm lying when I explain my reasoning very clearly in this video.
Third, thank you for complimenting my English.
This video is not about me. It is about non-native English speakers that clearly speak much better when they stop worrying about trying to be perfect.
It works, try it.
And please be nice.

Sorry, if I hurt you, First of all I don't know that much English. I am not used to speaking in English. But I have been trying to understand English. In my opinion, Understanding or knowing a language is important. If you understand the usage and structure of a language you will make less mistakes while speaking and you will not be confused with two or more ways to express things at the same time. Your brain will be automatically set for one way of speaking, It means you would be confident and would not be confused about which word I use or which way I express it.and also two words or two way will not come in your brain at the same time while you are expressing a thing. I think words are coming through your mouth without hesitation and the listener gets your exact Idea, then I can say One spoke in English.And also Grammer is a support for understanding a language for beginners.So as far as I am concerned understanding a language is more important than speaking. If you know well you won't make mistakes.
After all, I like the way you are Presenting the videos.Thank you.
I don't speak english but I always try to understand...
@@user-bh5fh7mp9x Thank you for your meaningful comments. First, I wasn't sad for me. I was sad for you that it seemed you were possibly making a rude comment. Typically, telling someone they are lying is rude in any language, with any translation. There are more gentle ways to communicate.
Yes, understanding a language is important. And in some situations, one needs to only understanding a language from a reading or listening perspective. However, most people do want to USE the language and speaking becomes a necessary step. That is what this video is about. When speaking a language, don't worry about using perfect grammar and perfect vocabulary. Just as a young child does, just speak with feeling. They don't know how to read or write, but they can easily learn to listen and speak because they have no fear and they are not trying to be perfect. As we get older we fear making mistakes. So, we try to be more perfect. And this is a difficult path to success.
I encourage you to be brave and use my videos for shadow English speaking practice. Speak without fear and just enjoy using the language. Good luck to you and thank you again.
Even over 40years living USA, I do have problem to speak...boy..
Thank you for sharing your experience! It's inspiring to see your dedication to improving your speaking skills. Really great!
Very impressive and informative ❤
Your support means a lot! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
SURE EVERYBADY MAKE MISTAKE WE MAKE MISTAKE IN OUR OWN LANGUISH
It's true, mistakes happen to everyone, no worries! The important thing is to not focus on being perfect - just speak freely.
