Rafael asks: "How can I stop hesitating when I speak English?"

Episode Summary:

Hesitation happens either when:

• You don't have the vocabulary you need
• You don't know how to express something

Speaking fluidly, without hesitation, comes with a lot of practice.

• Practice more regularly with native speakers
• Increase your vocabulary on common topics, focusing on full sentences
• Spend more time with the "whole language" - reading and listening with transcripts
• Learn monologues and rehearse them thoroughly
• Try shadowing
