It is very hard for me who did not learn English program in school or study aboard to give an English’s public speaking. My project No.2, I want to overcome this thing. February 2016, I joined Toastmasters Club. A new journey has begun.
“Toastmasters is a global network of speaking clubs offering people a supportive and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to develop communication and leadership skills, resulting in greater self-confidence and personal growth.” [https://www.toastmasters.org/About/...]
What did Toastmasters taught me?
I have a chance speaking English every week. Table Topic session is a session which challenge everybody in the meeting to stand up and give their impromptu answers. (very fun and exciting)
Speeches Session is a session which offers all members a chance to practice public speaking by preparing speeches.
Evaluation Session is a session which will reflex your speeches from advanced members. I can improve my English public speaking from this session. There are a lots of wrong things that I did in every speech but a good and friendly comment gave me stronger.
More than that, I learned various meeting roles (duties), which usually takes around 15-30 people to run a Toastmasters meeting. I also got a lot of friends form difference areas such as; Teachers, Business men, Students, Lawyers, etc.
Now, I finished my speech no.6 of 10 projects. My grammar is still terrible but I feel more confident and comfortable while standing/speaking in front of 15-30 people.
