Learn English with Real Conversations Podcast | How to Use “I Think” in Everyday English

Do you overuse “I think” and sound unsure in English conversations? Learn how to sound like a confident leader, express yourself clearly and naturally in spoken English, and stop sounding weak.

In this real conversation English podcast episode, Emma and Niko break down how to use I think in everyday spoken English — so you can express opinions clearly, stop overusing “I think” in every sentence, and sound more confident in meetings, conversations, and daily life.

🔥 This episode is Part 2 of our Certainty / Confidence Ladder series.

In Episode 1, we covered RUNG 1 — LOW CERTAINTY (Guessing / Unsure) using phrases like:
• Maybe…
• I’m not sure…
• I guess…
• It might…

Now we move up the ladder.

🔹 RUNG 2 — OPINION (Neutral / Personal View)

Used when expressing a normal opinion:
• I think…
• I feel like…
• In my opinion…
• To me…
• From my perspective…
• I would say…

Energy: balanced
Big learner pain point: Overusing “I think” in every sentence

Today, we focus only on RUNG 2 — how to use I think correctly, when to upgrade it, and when to drop it completely.

🎯 Core Speaking Focus (Everyday English)

This episode focuses on one of the most overused phrases in spoken English: I think.

Instead of textbook grammar explanations, you’ll learn:
• Why learners overuse “I think”
• What native speakers actually hear when you repeat it too much
• How stacking uncertainty (I think maybe it might…) weakens your message
• When “I think” is appropriate — and when it makes you sound unsure
• How to replace it naturally
• How to disagree politely using Level 2 phrases

This is real spoken English — the kind you use in meetings, discussions, and daily conversations.

✅ “From my perspective, we should launch.”
