Why is speaking English such a challenge, even after years of study? In this episode, we dive into the hidden reasons behind the struggle: from huge class sizes (hello, invisible students 👀) to cultural values that make standing out feel... wrong. We’ll also talk about shyness, lack of practice, fear of judgment, and how learning disabilities like dyslexia can play a role.
學了這麼多年英文，為什麼一開口還是這麼難？在這集裡，我們一起探討背後的各種原因：從大型班級（老師根本記不得你🙈) 到文化中強調謙虛的影響。也會聊聊害羞的個性、練習機會太少、自信心不足、害怕被批評，甚至是像閱讀障礙（dyslexia）這樣的學習困難。

You’re not alone — and guess what? Speaking English is hard — but it’s not impossible. Let's break it down and laugh a little along the way!
你絕對不是孤單一人！英文口說真的有難度，但絕對可以克服！一起輕鬆聊聊吧～
