Stop Saying “Sorry for My English”

Yesterday, a brilliant writer emailed me: ‚Sorry for my English, it’s not my first language.‚

But here’s the truth:

• You don’t need to apologise for your English.
• If people understand you, your English is working.
• Most of the time, your English isn’t the problem – your confidence is.

Next time you feel the urge to apologise, try saying this instead:

• „Let me say that another way.“
• „I’m still improving – but here’s what I mean.“
• Or just say it without explanation.

You’re allowed to speak English without a disclaimer. Own your space. Say it anyway.
