When you avoid. That's when you signal to the world and to yourself that your English is not good enough. And then you actually don't have the right opportunities to practice. Let's say there's a meeting, and you need to speak up and say something in English, and you're like, I'm not gonna do it. Or maybe there is a big presentation and someone offers you to present in English, and you're like, I'm not gonna do it. Stop thinking like, you will be ready one day. You have to start before you're ready, and you have to ju every opportunity that comes your way to speak and communicate and advance yourself in English.
