You should have just grab the opportunity. Never mind the broken English or being an unpolished speaker. It just goes to show that strategies, ideas and the drive to succeed is just as important if not more important that being on able to speak well. Frankly, I've once invited some speakers to speak to a crowd of students and those speakers don't speak very good English too. It's a norm. And you're a perfect candidate to speak at such events because what students need to hear is from entrepreneurs who are going through their early days of struggles, not those that have been there done that and only talks about greatness of entrepreneurship. You're a good role model of courage, passion and tenacity in entrepreneurship. Hey! You should have just grab the opportunity. Never mind the broken English or being an unpolished speaker.
