Think Out Loud in English — 4 Instant Strategies for Introverts

Speak before you feel ready. Share your ideas confidently, even when they aren’t fully formed, by thinking out loud in English.

How many times have you worried that your English just isn’t good enough because, when someone asked you a question in a business meeting, you struggled to find your words or express your idea clearly?

In job interviews, busy meetings, and even conversations with friends, it may be expected that you’re ready to respond to questions… even while you’re still thinking about what to say.

If you’re naturally introverted, you may prefer to think before you speak. You might prefer to have your ideas fully formed and perfect before you share them.

This is very similar to how you might feel about using English — you might prefer to think and have time to get all your thoughts together before you speak.

To help you feel more comfortable thinking out loud without getting stuck, even when your thoughts aren’t 100% clear or your idea isn’t fully formed yet, here are 4 Instantly Effective Strategies for Thinking Out Loud in English.
