It's just that I'm studying International Relations because I want to be a diplomat. There's a slight problem, though, I have issues with etiquette, oratory, but mostly having proper conversations.
I have the etiquette and oratory part "covered" (I've reading a book on the former, and making time to join a Toastmasters club in my area for the latter), however I don't know how to talk properly. What I mean is just that when I'm talking I often pause because I don't know how to express myself, and I'm often misunderstood because of that same reason. Not to mention that I need to get rid of all those slang words... plus body language... well, many things, but right now that's somehow of my priority.
Please, could anyone help me with this? |
Everyone here has given great suggestions, and I definitely think you should follow through on them. However, the real engine behind how you talk is your confidence. Going to these classes will really help build that, but in some senses it's all about having a sense of confidence about your speech and just enjoying what you're saying.
I'm sure you'll find the magic! Good luck,
