1) I keep difficult words aside while speaking to facilitate myself for speaking easily.

2) I keep difficult words aside while speaking to facilitate myself to speak easily.

Please explain in simple words what you mean by 'facilitate myself'.

Here's a piece of advice - unless you're using work jargon, stick with "help" instead of "facilitate".

And never say "facilitate myself".

I don't use difficult words when speaking.

Wouldn't using plain words be of benefit to your audience rather than you- if you know these words, using them shouldn't really be a problem.

A word is difficult if you don't know it. So, yes, don't use such words. Because you will use them wrongly.

Use words you understand and are comfortable with.

And, tufguy, until your level improves, that's good advice for your posts on this forum.

tufguy, I'm still waiting for a reply to my post #2.

You've posted several new threads since then.

To give myself some leverage while speaking.

Unfortunately, I don't understand that any better than I do the original.

Facilitating someone or something has absolutely nothing to do with having leverage.

It does sound a bit less dirty than facilitating yourself, though.
