Most learners notice clearer speech and less hesitation within two to three weeks of daily practice. By the end of the seven-week plan, you can expect to carry on conversations comfortably.

Shyness is normal, but this book guides you to start with private exercises—reading aloud, self-commentary, and thinking in English—so you build confidence before speaking publicly.

If you do fall off track, review previous exercises and restart gradually—your brain will adapt quickly once you resume regular practice.
