Many teachers say, "Don't worry about your grammar mistakes. Just communicate." Um, well, yes, but you see, there's something else very important you need to know, and if you don't do this, your spoken English will just never improve.
Let me explain.
Hello, it's Keith from the Keith Speaking Academy and the YouTube channel, English Speaking Success, helping you become a more confident speaker of English.
Now, I remember at school, I had to write essays and then give the essay to the teacher.
A few days later, the teacher would come back and there's your essay.
My essay covered in red ink, all the mistakes, and I think, "Oh, no." And that's why nowadays a lot of people think about mistakes, they have a negative feeling.
So I understand why lots of teachers and linguists now say, "Don't worry about mistakes.
Don't focus on the mistakes.
More important is your communication." Now, that's true, right?
We ... we should embrace our mistakes.
