Speaking English at Work Without Fear – Stop Overthinking & Build Confidence (B1–B2 Conversation)

Описание: Do you ever feel nervous speaking English at work?
Do you stay silent in meetings because you're afraid of making a mistake?

In this natural English conversation, Emma and Jake talk about something many English learners experience but rarely discuss openly — the fear of being judged when speaking English in professional situations.

Jake shares a real-life situation from a work meeting. He had a good idea but stayed quiet because he was worried about his grammar and pronunciation. Emma introduces an important psychological concept called the “spotlight effect” — the idea that we think people notice our mistakes much more than they actually do.
