How can you become more confident in your language skills and overcome nervousness and fear of public speaking?

Many students are familiar with the feeling of uncertainty before a lecture, presentation, or speech. That's why we recommend the book "Redeangst war gestern! Ein Übungsprogramm in 10 Schritten" by Linda-Maria Haffinger. It shows you how to gain confidence in speaking and overcome inhibitions step by step. It covers presentations and speeches, but also other speaking situations in your studies and everyday life. Numerous practical exercises help you to appear more confident and convey your thoughts clearly and securely.

Note: Unfortunately, the book is currently only available in German.
