Hello, I'm Georgie, an English teacher and presenter at BBC Learning English.
I want to tell you about a new series I've made all about speaking.
Beating speaking anxiety helps you fight your fears of speaking English.
Each video tackles a different fear, like the fear of making mistakes,
the fear of not understanding people, and the fear of public speaking.
Find practical tips and see speaking activities in action with real learners.

bbclearningenglish.com Hello and welcome to The English We Speak,
where we explain phrases used by fluent English speakers so that you can use them too.
I'm Feifei and I'm here with Beth.
Hi Feifei.
Let's do this quickly.
I need to shoot off right after the recording.
We can't rush.
This script is important.
Shoot off.
This means to leave quickly because you're in a hurry or there's somewhere you need to be.
Sorry, you're right.
But I will need to shoot off because I have a dentist appointment and I can't be late again.
Late again?
