she said, even just go to the toilet,

3:32

stand in the toilet and do it on your own.

3:35

And apparently it increases your confidence.

3:38

Well, I must try that.

3:40

So, Neil, are there any situations where you wish you were more confident?

3:47

Maybe.

3:50

I mean, I have a lot of experience of driving,

3:52

and I'm quite confident driving.

3:54

But driving abroad – driving, especially in a foreign city,

3:59

can be nerve-racking.

4:02

And yeah,

4:04

I think it would be nice to be more confident driving abroad.

4:09

I was just thinking about language learning.

4:12

I wish I was more confident when it came to speaking,

4:16

but I feel so shy and nervous.

4:18

If I'm... unless I'm in, say, like a language class, then I'll be OK.

4:22

But if I'm in the real world and I have to speak to someone in Spanish,

4:26

for example, I get really nervous.

4:30

I have so much respect for people like our audience

4:34

because they speak a foreign language,

4:36

and that's a really hard thing to do.

4:39

Nerve-racking. You need confidence.
