You know, sometimes I think I’m too nice. Honestly, let me set something straight here. Sometimes I am too nice when I talk to people about learning English. Well, let me say it like this. I think I’m too nice. When I’m talking to people who say that they’re interested in learning English or learning to speak English very well. Because I get a lot of these types of people that say these things about themselves and about what they want, but they never seem to act on what they say. And so I’m making this to talk with you and to ask you to share with me, put in a comment as to why you want to speak English very well, or why you say to yourself that you love English.

Why do you say you love English?
Or do you really love English? Or, are you fooling yourself?

Because there are a lot of people that live life fooling themselves. You know, I created the website ‘How to Speak English, Just Like an American’, because so many people have told me that they wanted to speak English very clearly and speak it very well. And I said, well, I’ve been teaching English for 18 years or more close to 20 years. And if there’s one thing I know how to do, I know how to set a person’s accent. I know how to show a person how to dissolve or to smooth out or to even melt their accent. So let me do this. Let me create this website for those that are serious about speaking English, very good and very well. Well, here’s what I get. I get a lot of people clicking LIKE. I get a lot of people that joined my website.

I get a lot of people that join my email list. I get a lot of people that say, thank you for sharing that information. But what I don’t get are a lot of people that show that they’re serious about learning how to speak English very well. And this is why I am speaking about this now. Because I’m wondering why these people do this. Well, maybe I shouldn’t say, I wonder why these people do this. Maybe I should say that this is the nature of some people. They tell themselves things to make themselves feel good possibly. And they tell other people things to make those people feel good as well. I’m here to tell you, you don’t have to do that with me. You don’t have to tell me things to try to make me feel good. What I would strongly suggest is that you tell yourself things that make you feel good and you follow through on those things that you say about yourself that you want to do.

And that makes you feel good when you say it. Because after you do that, then you’ll really feel good. Yeah. That’s when the real feelings will start and those feelings will permeate. Permeate, meaning to escape from you and to go out from you, they will permeate from you to other people and people will recognize that. So yeah, a question in this is why do you love English? Why do you want to speak? I know I have asked that question before. I asked the ‘why’ question. I guess the question is, do you truly love English enough to start learning how to speak it very clear because there’s a world of people out there waiting to hear from you. There’s a world of people out there waiting to communicate with you when you speak English very good and very clear. Leave a comment, and share it. If you’re so moved to do so. And, as always stay safe, stay healthy and keep smiling.

Bye for now!
