Irene- All About English with Irene

The Confident Speaking Club

✨ From Costa Rica to the world, here’s a little bit of my story.

I’m Irene, a language coach, language enthusiast, and lifelong learner.

I’ve learned that speaking a language fluently is just like swimming or hiking: it takes patience, consistency, and courage to face the challenges along the way.

Every step I’ve taken, every class I’ve taught, and every student I’ve worked with has shaped the person I am today. 💛

What’s one challenge you’ve overcome that made you stronger?

Share it below, I’d love to hear your story.

You don’t need more grammar drills. You need real conversations.

That’s why I created The Confident Explorer Club, a space where we explore the world through movies, travel, news, and your stories 🌍

Every week, you’ll train your brain to think in English, not just study it.

You’ll gain confidence, fluency, and the habit of expressing yourself, naturally.

💬 This is not a traditional class. It’s a community, a space to speak, learn, and grow.

📅 We start on Monday, May 5th!
🕒 Every Monday from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM (Costa Rica & Mexico time)
🇵🇦 Panama: 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM

🔐 Limited spots – Doors are open now!

According to WordReference, “hold back” means: to prevent someone from doing something; to stop progress.

That hit me hard when I realized… my own native language was holding me back from speaking fluently.

I used to translate everything in my head and it made me freeze, overthink, and feel frustrated.

At 23, I started changing that.
I trained my brain to think in English with simple daily habits… and it changed my life.

🎙 Tomorrow (Friday) I’m going live to tell you more:
Why your native language might be holding you back and how to stop it.

✨ Let’s talk before the masterclass on April 23!

Stop Translating. Start Speaking.

🔥 Mistake #1: Translating Everything in Your Head

Stop thinking in your native language before speaking! It slows you down and makes sentences sound unnatural. Instead, train your brain to think in English by describing things around you in real-time.

🔥 Mistake #2: Speaking Too Fast to Sound Fluent

Fluency is NOT speed! Many learners think speaking fast makes them sound fluent, but it actually leads to mistakes and nervousness. Slow down, focus on clarity and pronunciation.

🔥 Mistake #3: Avoiding Conversations Because You’re Not ‘Ready.

The biggest fluency killer? Waiting until you’re ‘good enough’ to speak. You won’t get fluent by studying alone, you need real conversation practice!

Which mistake do you relate the most? 🤯🥺
