Use a small vocabulary to your advantage. If you are speaking in a language that isn't your first language, you may sometimes feel insecure that your vocabulary isn't large enough. I'm here to tell you, relax. The best speakers in the world, the brightest speakers in the world who may have a vocabulary of hundreds of thousands, millions of words, still typically use just a couple thousand of the smallest, most common words to get their point across. When they're speaking, they understand. It's different reading versus hearing. No matter how smart your audience is, people hear differently than they read. It's harder to follow big words, long sentences, complexity when you're hearing someone speak. So if you have a small vocabulary, you need to realize this can be a huge advantage. It's going to make it easier for your audience to understand you, harder for them to get lost, harder for them to tune out. As long as you've done a good job of really isolating interesting, useful, important points for your audience. So don't whatever you do, don't let a small vocabulary chip away at your confidence. It's actually a good thing. I'm T.J. walker. Thanks for joining me.
