I have gradually improved my fluency in the past 30 years, but it still flares up by situation and mood. 10 years ago I had particularly great fluency after taking a 1-month seminar that was a good placebo to trick myself into being super confident.

I hate how people like him talk with such authority AND have to bring others down (falsely) to boost themselves up. His advice have elements that can work, but as an adult, those tactics won’t have the same effect.
