Afraid of not saying English words correctly during meetings with clients?

Blessing Aladesanmi

You get ready to talk confidently in English during meetings with your foreign clients, partners, and investors.

However, when you start talking, you always say many English words wrongly during the meetings.

You get ashamed because of how you say English words wrongly.

You ask yourself, "How do I say English words correctly without embarrassing myself during meetings?"

Nawaz wished he could talk confidently in English and say English words correctly during meetings with his foreign clients. 

He had tried different applications to learn how to say English words correctly, but he did not know how to improve.

At one point, Nawaz thought his accent was the reason he couldn't say English words correctly in English.

Just like Nawaz, Middle Eastern founders who messaged me because of their weak English thought their accents were the reason they couldn't say English words correctly.

You wish you could say English words correctly and confidently during meetings.

But you always say them badly, to the point that you get embarrassed by the way you say them in front of your foreign clients, partners, and investors.

This makes you afraid to talk in English because you know you will say many English words wrongly.

You don't want your foreign clients, partners, and investors to continue seeing you as a Middle Eastern founder who has weak English.

Many times, you tell yourself that you want to improve, but you have not been making the improvements you need. 

You have no idea how you can say English words correctly after three years of learning how to develop strong English to grow your business.

However, no matter how long you have been trying to learn how to say English words correctly, you have made no progress.

Also, Middle Eastern founders who have strong English know these.

They know that they shouldn't:

~ Use English words they can't say confidently during meetings.

~ Say English words; they don't know their meanings.

But why do you do all these things during important meetings?

- You use English words you can't say confidently during meetings.

You get embarrassed by how badly you say them, yet you do that in every meeting with your clients, partners, and investors.

- You say English words, but you don't know their meanings.

Just because you don't want your clients, partners, and investors to see you as a business owner with weak English.

Not only do they see you as a business owner with weak English.

They clearly see that you didn't say those words with confidence.

Tell yourself the truth: "Can you work with a business owner whose words have no confidence?"

I know that you are afraid that your clients, partners, or investors may not understand how you say English words during meetings.

But you don't need to make it harder for yourself by doing the wrong things.
