English is not the real problem. If you are capable, experienced, and highly competent, but still freeze, hesitate, or leave conversations thinking, "That is not what I meant to say," there is a deeper reason for that.</p><p>I talk about the difference between language ability and felt power, and why more vocabulary, more polishing, and more effort do not always change anything.
