🎙️ Why Speaking English Feels Scary | Gentle English Listening Practice | Calm English Studio

Do you ever feel confident when practicing alone…
but freeze the moment a real person speaks to you? 😔
You’re not alone — and you’re definitely not failing.

In this calm episode, Emma and Leo explore why English suddenly feels scary in real-life moments, why your emotions react faster than your words, and how a simple gentle pause can completely change the way you speak.

You’ll hear stories about “freezing,” emotional timing, the brain–mouth delay, and why even familiar sentences feel difficult when you’re caught off guard. Most importantly, you’ll learn soft, realistic techniques — like the soft interrupt — to help you speak calmly, slowly, and confidently.

This podcast is perfect for beginners and sensitive learners who want to understand their fear, speak more naturally, and build confidence one gentle step at a time.

💡 What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why your body feels fear before your English appears 🧠
• What “emotional timing” is — and why it affects beginners AND advanced learners
• Why your thoughts run faster than your voice
• The brain–mouth delay (and how to work with it gently)
• How to use a soft interrupt to buy time in real conversations
