Have you ever stepped on someone’s toes? ⠀
Here’s an informal phrase you might hear in the business world and elsewhere.⠀
Example: “Sue didn’t boast about her big contract. She was new in the sales team and didn’t want to step on anyone’s toes.”⠀

Why you understand English, but can’t speak it 🧐
If you understand what people say, it means that you already have vocabulary and grammar necessary to communicate.
You are being held back by two things: anxiety and lack of practice.
Few tips that help:
⠀
- nobody cares about your English and you. People care about not wasting their time on you and moving on with their lives.
⠀
- A majority of native speakers that you interact with would forget that you exist by tomorrow. The last thing they would think about is mistakes that you made while speaking.
⠀
- You don’t have to raise your voice to be understood.
⠀
- Smile, look people in the eye and shake girl’s hands (or a man s hand). In fact, being gloomy, staring down and trying to kiss a girl’s hand would feel a lot weirder than a grammar mistake.
Practice is easier:
⠀
- if you make a grammar mistake, do at least 100 exercises till the rule that you are trying to learn becomes an instinct.
⠀
- Sing along with your favorite songs, have lyrics to help.
⠀
- Talk to yourself in English about things that happened during the day.
