Lesson 14
How can I correct myself?


Sunil: People tell me that I speak English to a pretty high standard, but I still don’t think I could describe myself as a fluent speaker. And I think the real reason for this is that I feel really embarrassed about making mistakes when I speak English.

I know I shouldn’t do this, I know that native speakers also make plenty of mistakes, but I just can’t help myself.

Interviewer: And tell me about the difference that an Oscar makes. You’ve talked about recognition.

I’m not... erm... trying to analysis it – how do you say? – analyze this... er... because you know it’s... I’m making these films and then afterwards I don’t know whether it’s a good one or not, but I try my best, that’s the only thing I know.
