How to Speak English Without Fear | English Podcast for B1–B2

Afraid to speak English, even when you know what you want to say? Practice useful phrases for starting, asking for clarification, and keeping a conversation going—even when you feel nervous. Join David and Emma for a natural English conversation designed for intermediate B1–B2 learners. Through relatable stories, friendly disagreements, and everyday roleplays, you'll explore how to express your ideas without waiting for every sentence to be perfect. David rewrites a simple question until he misses his chance to ask it. Emma shares how she returned to a conversation after being interrupted. Along the way, they practice what to say when a word disappears, a question is unclear, or a message comes out wrong. In this episode, you'll practice: • Asking for a moment to think. • Explaining your meaning when you forget a word. • Checking what another person means. • Responding to corrections and repairing misunderstandings. • Joining a discussion and asking a follow-up question. Useful English phrases include: “Give me a second to think.” “Let me put it another way.” “Could you say that a little more slowly?” “Do you mean…?” “What I meant was…” “I'd like to add something.” Listen first, then pause during the roleplay and try your own response. Choose one phrase to use in your next English conversation. 💬 Which situation makes you hesitate to speak English? Try this: “I hesitate when ____. Next time, I'll try ____.” Subscribe to Talk English with David & Emma for more natural conversations, listening practice, and everyday English expressions. #LearnEnglish #EnglishPodcast #SpeakEnglishWithConfidence
