22 min - (17 min) Why I Started a Podcast About English Confidence | Richard Marshall
This is where it started. The first episode, recorded with man flu, no script, and no interest in following anyone's template for how a podcast should sound.
In this seventeen-minute introduction, confidence coach Richard Marshall explains why so many people who already speak English well still freeze when it matters, why the traditional grammar-heavy approach to language learning creates shame rather than confidence, and why connection will always matter more than perfection.
Unedited, unpolished, and completely honest about what this show is trying to do.
This is More Than Words, previously 'From Lost to the River', a weekly show about language, identity, and what it really takes to speak with confidence.

About Speak English with Confidence | More Than Words
From the publisher's feed
Speak English with Confidence | More Than Words (previously 'From Lost to the River') is a podcast for anyone who speaks English as a second language and wants to feel like themselves when they use it. Maybe you've spent years studying and practising, or you've built a life, a career or a family in English, and still something closes down when it matters. A meeting, a phone call, a chat with a neighbour. You overthink every sentence, you freeze, and you walk away wondering why the words wouldn't come out.
For most people, the English is already there. What gets in the way is everything around it: the fear of making mistakes, the worry about being judged, the sense that you sound less clever or less like yourself than you really are.
Confidence coach and author Richard Marshall shares extracts from his conversations. Some are with non-native speakers, from executives and pilots to teachers and language learners, showing you what confident English actually sounds like. Others are with polyglots, coaches, authors, linguists and native English speakers learning other languages themselves, exploring why we freeze, how perfectionism and imposter syndrome take hold, and what changes when you focus on being understood. Honest conversations for anyone learning, living or working in a language that isn't their own.
