Maybe this is something that has happened to you.
\nIt’s something I see this so often in my work.<\/p>\n

You’re speaking, cruising along, everything is going swimmingly\u2026.
\n\u2026.and then it happens.
\nTHE. WORD.
\nThat one difficult word that throws you off.
\nYou hesitate.
\nYou try to say the first part of it.
\nYou struggle.
\nYou take a quick breath.
\nYou finally\u2026.spit out that word.
\nAnd then\u2026communication stops for a second.
\nA really long second.
\nYou feel awful and embarrassed.
\nIf you had only kept on speaking, you would not feel like disappearing right now.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re an intelligent person.
\nSo why did you freak out about this word and stop the flow of communication?<\/p>\n

I hear this all the time.
\nSo let\u2019s fix it right now.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve developed a very simple, yet effective 10-step plan to help you avoid situations like this.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Say the text out loud to yourself. Feel free to write down all the words you want to say, in full sentences, as it will get them out of your head, and into objective reality. (It\u2019s pretty messy in your head. The less we keep in there, the better.)<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0As you are reading the words out loud, identify the words and phrases that give you trouble.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Highlight them in a bright color in the text so you can see them quickly and easily. (If you make them bold, it will not stand out enough and you won\u2019t see it quickly enough.) This is also very effective to see in just a glance which texts need the most work \u2013 which ones have the most colors? Those need more time and attention.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Extract the words from the text and make a separate word list with only these words and phrases. Print this out and hang it up. Put each individual word on a post it and post them on your bathroom mirror (this way you can see what your mouth is doing while you are saying these words).<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Practice them several times a day. Make saying them out loud part of your daily routine. This is how we build new habits easily and comfortably.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Then go back to the text. See which words come before and after these challenging words.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2018Hook\u2019 these words into their neighbors and practice these words, now connected, until this until it sounds natural for you.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Now extend that by practicing individual sentences.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Now extend it by practicing the paragraphs.<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0\u00a0Now read the whole text all the way through with total confidence, because your mouth is such a badass!<\/p>\n

Tiny tweaks can have such a big impact.
\nThis entire process takes just a few minutes a day.<\/p>\n

Would you like more tips and tricks on how to improve your English communication and confidence? These tips, and so much more (hello 4 hours of video lessons and over 200 pages of workbooks!) are waiting for you in\u00a0my Rock That Mouth course!<\/p>\n

The doors to\u00a0Rock That Mouth\u00a0are open for just a few more hours<\/strong>. They close at midnight tonight, Amsterdam time. No one can join again after that moment.<\/p>\n

If you’d like to truly feel confident and LOVE how you sound in English, I would love to work with you!
\nYour words shape your world. I’d be honored to help you reshape yours.\u00a0\u00a0My VIP members get a personal coaching session with yours truly, and it’s a real game changer – have a look at some of the reactions below. Space is limited, and there are just a few spots left.<\/p>\n

So…what are you waiting for? Grab your spot, or live with wondering how it could have been.
\nSee you on the inside!<\/p>\n

Liefs,
\nBuffi<\/p>\n
