Do you ever feel like your English is worse than it actually is? You’re not alone. Many learners underestimate their skills because they focus on what they can’t say instead of what they can.
The truth is, if you can read this article, understand conversations, or even write a short message in English — you’re already doing great. Language learning is a journey, and progress often happens in the background, without you noticing.
Here’s the secret: most native speakers don’t speak perfectly either. They pause, make grammar mistakes, and forget words all the time. The goal isn’t to speak like a textbook — it’s to be understood and feel comfortable expressing yourself.
So next time you catch yourself thinking “My English is terrible”, try to look at how far you’ve come. Celebrate the wins — even small ones — and keep going. You’re doing better than you think. 💪
