Many adults feel nervous about speaking English. The fear of making mistakes, being judged, or sounding foolish can be overwhelming. Rumpel's friendly approach creates a safe space where mistakes are welcome and learning feels natural.
The Challenge of Speaking Anxiety
Speaking anxiety is real. For many adults, the thought of speaking English in front of others triggers immediate stress. This anxiety can:
- Prevent you from practicing even when you have opportunities
- Make you forget words you actually know
- Cause physical symptoms like sweating or shaking
- Keep you stuck at the same level for years
