Welcome to Be Confident - in English! 👋 We're so glad you're here. Before you dive in, let's get to know each other. This is a friendly, relaxed space, so don't worry about perfect English. Just say hello in your own words and we'll take it from there. Pop your introduction in the comments below and tell us: 🙋 Your name and what you'd like us to call you 🌍 Where you're from and where you're living now 💼 What you do, or what you're working towards 🎯 One thing you'd like to feel more confident about in English ☕ Something fun about you: a hobby, your favourite drink, the last thing that made you laugh Feeling brave? Try using a phrasal verb in your intro. Once you've posted, say hello to at least one other member. A quick "Nice to meet you" or a question about their intro is a lovely way to get the conversation going. Can't wait to meet you 😊 Kelly

If you joined us early, you're a founding member, and in business English that's sometimes called being "grandfathered in". It means you keep your original terms, even when things change for people who join later. It also means you get a say in how this place grows, and the best way to use it is to tell me what you need. So pop one sentence in the comments below, in English, about something you'd like to be able to say more easily at work. Any English is fine, a few words is plenty, and I'll reply to every one.
