Let me ask you something. How many days have you studied English without actually speaking it? Be honest. A lot of students read, listen, and watch videos, but when it's time to speak, they freeze. So in this lesson, I'm gonna show you how to speak English every day, even if you're busy, even if you don't have a partner, and even if you're not confident yet.

That means you can remember it quickly, and you can use it naturally without translating from your native language or pausing to think. Speaking English daily also helps you build confidence. The more you speak, the less nervous you feel. Every minute of speaking practice helps increase your confidence. Another benefit
