I Was Too Afraid to Speak English. So I Built a Stage for Learners.

For 20 years, I wanted to create something in English. But I was always too scared to speak. Then I started making videos. 5 minutes of speaking. 5 hours of editing. Talking to a camera. Alone. And I realized: I don't want to just make videos. I want something real. So I created Story Night. A stage where English learners can speak publicly. Not experts. Not natives. Just learners. This is the full story. From the idea in my head to the real event. 10 days. One dream. All the fear. --- CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Introduction 00:38 - Why I Started Making Videos in English 01:18 - The Two Problems I Faced 02:39 - The Moment Everything Changed 02:47 - Deciding to Create Story Night 03:26 - Finding the Venue (5 Days Before) 04:16 - Seeing the Space 05:31 - The Event day.
