    I know this is a bit off topic so hopefully this won't be deleted. Sorry in advance cause my English suck
    I have to give a speech in front of 100 people this Sunday about tips to speak English better (since English is not my country's national language). I just want to hear your opinions, what do you guys think? I'm shy and awkward so I'm afraid people gonna make fun of me. If you guys have some jokes or stories related to the topic, please tell. :tears:

    My presentation was so bad that the Germans couldn't stop criticizing about the language and their criticism was so bad that even a student had to say:"Can we stop criticizing his English and talking about the content" and the teacher was trying to be sympathetic said "I think his is perfect"

    I've changed to a program that doesn't require so many presentations.

    My best advice would be to thouroughly check your speech, possibly have it checked by a native English speaker and then learn it word for word.

    This may be very difficult though, considering that you only have a short amount of time.
    I'm sure if you said something along the lines of 'I apologise if my English is not perfect', it wouldn't be a problem. In my experience of speaking to you, I've never noticed any problems with your English, so try not to worry :slight_smile: You got this!
