Public speaking practice for non-native English speakers
Public speaking practice for non-native English speakers works best with feedback on how the delivery sounds, not only on the words. Speak Analyzer on Yesodi records a short talk, measures the speaking pace, counts filler words, and flags long pauses, so a speaker working in a second language can check clarity and pace and build confidence before an audience.
Common delivery challenges in a second language
Speaking in a second language often changes the pace, since the speaker is translating and choosing words while talking. That can produce long pauses in some places and rushed sentences in others, along with fillers that bridge the gaps. None of this reflects the speaker's ideas; it reflects the extra work of speaking a second language in real time. Measuring the pace and pauses shows exactly where the delivery breaks up, which is more useful than a general sense that it felt hard.
Build a clear, steady pace
Clarity matters more than speed in a second language, so a slightly slower and even pace is usually easier for an audience to follow than a fast one. Record a real passage, read the words-per-minute figure, and aim for a steady middle range rather than the fastest fluent-sounding rate. Practice the same passage until the pauses fall on natural sentence breaks instead of mid-phrase, which is what makes speech sound prepared.
Practice that builds confidence
Confidence comes from repetition with honest feedback, and a private tool removes the pressure of an audience while it is being built. Rehearse the opening and the key points, since those carry the most weight and are the easiest to prepare word for word. Save the sessions in a free Yesodi account to see the pace steady and the filler count fall over time, which is clear proof of progress in the language and the delivery together.
