Hadar Shemesh argues that speaking English to yourself in a mirror improves grammar, pronunciation, confidence, and clarity more than speaking with other people. She disagrees with a team member on this and wants to know if you've noticed the same thing.
My team member doesn't agree with me on this one, so I'm coming to you to ask you what you think. My theory is that most people feel like when they have to speak with other people, that's when the speaking police comes in and they feel like their English deteriorates, and that's when their grammar is a lot worse, or their pronunciation, or their confidence, or their clarity. But my claim is that if they were to say the same thing to themselves in front of the mirror, they would do so much better. Their English would shine. And my question to you, just to prove my point, and I don't know what the answer is, is it true? Do you feel like if you were to just speak in front of the mirror and talk to yourself, would you do a lot better than if you were to talk to other people? Assuming that you do, for those of you who feel like their English is amazing and good enough, I salute you and I want to know who you are in the comments, but for those of you who feel like their English is not good enough, answer my question.
