Perfect grammar is not the secret to mastering spoken English. How many people do you know that have perfect grammar? Maybe they're teachers or translators, or just people who know how to read and write really, really well, but they still struggle with speaking English with clarity and with confidence. Do you know of good speakers, people who have good spoken English, yet they still make grammar mistakes? I know one I make mistakes. Sometimes I make grammar mistakes as I'm making my videos, sometimes when I'm teaching people, high level executives, and I make mistakes. And you know what? That doesn't bother me because I'm still able to convey my message. And usually they don't even notice. Even native speakers make mistakes. So imperfect grammar is not a good enough reason to prevent you from being the speaker that you want to be.
