Hi, everyone, this is Susan; welcome to today’s Pronunciation Challenge. When I’m feeling like I’m low in self-confidence, I often read some self-help books or watch inspirational videos on the Internet. Little did I know that there is a scientific reason for a lack of confidence and a scientific manner of rebuilding it.
