English when English is not your first languageĀ  it is normal to get nervous and have the fearĀ Ā

04:10
of not finding the right word getting stuck in theĀ  middle of a sentence is more normal than you might

think especially when you are in frontĀ  of your manager or other native English

04:29
speakers to avoid this kind of situationĀ  don't overthink or stress our grammar

mistakes learn vocabulary in chunks blocksĀ  and learn to paraphrase take your time and
30
280360

relax repeat the beginning of the sentenceĀ  or use other words like I'll start again
