**Fail Faster, Succeed Sooner

When you use English, do you make mistakes?  Probably you do.  

Is it bad to make mistakes when you speak?  

No.  Its not bad.  Its not bad to make mistakes-- its only bad to think about grammar rules. 

To speak English easily, you must make a lot of mistakes.  You MUST.   In fact, the more mistakes you make, the faster you will improve. 

The most important thing is that you MUST feel relaxed when speaking.  

Make mistakes. Have fun.  Don't think about grammar rules-- just communicate quickly.  

You must feel relaxed.  You must have fun with the language.  When you do that, you will improve very quickly. 
 
Soon, you will be making fewer mistakes! You improve automatically.  

Speed is more important than perfection.  That's right--  focus on being fast.  Focus on understanding faster and faster.
