Natalia Tokar | Native-Like Fluency

You moved countries. You got hired, then promoted...and then you got stuck. * So many of us who are building a whole new life in a foreign language have learned to reduce our expression to three qualities that helped us survive. We learned to be polite, nice, and professionally competent in English. ...and we abandoned so many other parts of who we are. You moved to a new country. You got hired, then promoted, and then you got stuck. You've changed. You've grown. But your expression in English still belongs to a person you were 5 or 10 years ago. It needs to catch up. The world needs more of YOU. The real you. The multifaceted you. The YOU that's made of contrasts. Your shadows, your light, your truth, your messiness, and your power. I want you to learn to express ALL of who you are. In your voice. In how your body moves. In how you pause and how you choose to speak - or say nothing at all. Welcome to my world: here we learn to express and become ALL of who we are - in another language too. If you're fluent in English but not completely free yet, spontaneous expression in English can be trained. That's what I do. I am a non-native speaker too. I felt reduced in my expression for far too long...until I decided to change it. Send me a message (@nataliatokar) and share your story. Where does your English make you smaller than you really are? If you need guidance, I'll tell you where I'd start you.
