192: Giving a presentation in a foreign language

Syawal asks: "How can I give better presentations in a foreign language?"

Episode Summary:

• With public speaking, you have to detangle the challenges of the presentation itself, with the language you use
• Presentations in your mother tongue can ofter leave you nervous and rambling
• It depends how much you want to prepare, and how much time you have
• The problem is similar to writing in a foreign language, and relates to how well you can express yourself in more formal language
• Method 1: Make sure you have a solid command of the specific vocabulary you need, then ad lib on the day
• Method 2: Prepare word-for-word what you'll say in certain parts of the talk
