Why You Keep Saying “Sorry” When Speaking English

Do you often find yourself saying “Sorry, my English is not good” — even before you finish a sentence? You are not alone. Many learners use “sorry” as a safety net, but it actually makes conversations harder and lowers your confidence.

The truth is: you don’t need perfect English to be understood. What you need is the habit of speaking without apologizing every time.

Why This Happens

• You feel nervous and want to be polite.

• You think your grammar must be 100% correct.

• You try to protect yourself from mistakes.

But in real life, constant apologies create the opposite effect: They make you sound less confident, even when your English is clear enough.

How to Stop Saying “Sorry” Too Much

✅ Replace “sorry” with natural fillers: “Let me think…” or “That’s a good question.”✅ Focus on connection, not perfection.✅ Practice short responses in real conversation settings.

The more you do this, the faster your confidence grows.
