DESCRIPTION:I am not good at English\, but I keep speaking at global OSS ev
 ents.\nMy first international talk was a failure. I just read my script\, 
 and I could not follow the Q&A at all. Even after living in the United Sta
 tes for a year\, my English did not improve much. But I learned something 
 important: imperfect English can still work.\nAfter joining the LibreOffic
 e community\, I began speaking at international conferences. I often felt 
 my English was not good enough. What changed me was a message from the com
 munity: sharing your perspective is valuable\, even in broken English.\nIn
  this talk\, I will share my journey\, along with practical ideas you can 
 use right away: keeping your English simple\, reducing the text on your sl
 ides\, focusing on one core message\, and handling Q&A even when you don't
  understand everything.\nYou don't need perfect English to join the global
  OSS community. If you have something to share\, your voice already has va
 lue.
