English Hard?
Let us look into a few challenges, then we might overcome them.
English has so much difference from Chinese. We, as mandarine speakers, speak faster as our langue reaches to the point faster compared to English, but the rushing doesn’t get us anywhere but confusion, because we dropped syllables consonants which need to be there in order to make what we say make sense.
We invest same amount time and energy to speak every syllable as we do to Chinese, that is not how English is used.
There are so many things can stop us to get our point cross successfully if we don’t know what is on our way, so we have to realise what is on our way so we can remove or overcome all the barriers we may have in order to have our English speaker listeners understand what we want to convey.
Only when we know what need to pay attention, how to overcome our challenges, we start to gain confidence, we will feel relaxed in our body, tell you, relaxation, truly felt confidence is the true key to speak powerfully. Yes, you can use breathing exercises, stretching exercises, exercise the sounds like t d n…k g h…f v …to help us make room within and flexibility in sound, to help us to feel more grounded.
