Описание: Learn English with Real Conversations Podcast | How to Use “I’m Sure” in Everyday English

Confused about how to use “I’m sure” in English? Learn how to use “I’m sure” and “I’m pretty sure” in meetings and professional conversations to stop sounding hesitant and sound more confident at work. This episode shows you how native speakers use I’m sure, I’m pretty sure, and stronger confidence phrases in real conversations — naturally, professionally, and without sounding rude or arrogant.

In this real conversation English podcast episode, Emma and Nico break down how to use “I’m sure” and other Level 3 confidence phrases in everyday spoken English — so you can sound confident in meetings, express strong opinions clearly, and stop overusing “I think” in every sentence.

🎯 The Confidence Ladder Series (How Certain You Sound When You Speak)

This is Part 3 of our Confidence Ladder series.

In Episode 1, we covered Low Certainty (Maybe, I’m not sure, I guess).
In Episode 2, we covered Neutral Opinion (I think, I feel like).
Now in Episode 3, we move to Strong Opinion — confident but professional English for work and business situations.

Today, we focus on Level 3:
• I’m pretty sure…
• I’m quite sure…
• I’m fairly certain…
• I strongly believe…
• I’m convinced that…

And we introduce the “Sure Scale”:
I’m pretty sure → I’m sure → I’m absolutely sure → I’m 100% sure

Learn when each one sounds professional — and when it sounds too strong.


Move past weak English like:
❌ “Maybe it will work.”
❌ “I think maybe we should wait.”
❌ “I’m 100% sure!” (when you’re not)
❌ Overusing “I think” in every sentence

And learn how to naturally say:
✅ “I’m pretty sure we need more time.”
✅ “I’m convinced this approach has risks.”
✅ “I strongly believe we should reconsider.”
✅ “I’m fairly certain this won’t work — based on the data.”
✅ “I’m sure this is the right direction.”
