G'day mate.
Hi, I have a problem with communication, especially when delivering training in English because my English is poor. Due to this, I don't have confidence to talk with higher-level people. I need opinions, suggestions, and support from seniors. :icon14:

First, I would advise you to change your self-talk. Consider yourself as good in speaking English, a good communicator, and grab all the opportunities to speak English. DO NOT FEAR FAILURE. Without failure, we all cannot learn to be better.
Keep moving in a circle of people who frequently talk in English. Maybe find a good human being in that group whom you can confide in and ask for help. Watch English movies, follow the dialogues, listen to English speech tapes (Anthony Robbins, Paul Scheele, etc.). You will motivate yourself and be successful.

This is a very common problem faced by many people. You have to have self-confidence, without which you will fumble and remain shaky. Read an English newspaper daily as a routine job, watch TV news in English every day, talk to your colleagues in English. If you have time, go for a course in spoken English. There are many other ways, but I believe these are enough.

Enroll yourself in an English-speaking course! They are mighty inexpensive now and may be able to give you some professional tips!
Moreover, I recommend watching the news channels such as CNN, TIMES-NOW, etc. While the news anchor is speaking, you can repeat whatever he is saying, do that for 5-10 minutes a day!
Another tip is reading an English newspaper aloud (again for 5-10 minutes a day).
To be able to speak clearly in English, it's imperative that you START THINKING IN ENGLISH. One of the major reasons we fumble while speaking is that we think in our mother tongue and then translate our thoughts into English. Due to this, we don't sound fluent!!
Hence, condition your mind to first THINK in ENGLISH! Stop yourself if you are just translating!
My fourth tip would be to SPEAK SLOWLY. GET THE WORDS RIGHT. NO NEED TO RUSH ON AND TRY TO BE ON PAR WITH OTHERS. You will find that the slower you speak in English, the better you sound!
And yes, keep your head held high! All you have to know is that "You are learning," and one day you will be as good as the better English speakers!
