Do you often see “speak like a native speaker” lessons and videos in your social media feeds and suggested posts? Do you want to know why you should avoid these lessons, and how they can actually be hurting your English progress and proficiency? On today’s episode, I talk about 3 reasons to avoid “speak like a native” type of lessons, the ones focusing on vocabulary you “should” use to sound more advanced or the “better” vocabulary to use. I talk about why these types of “use this instead of that” type lessons can actually do the opposite of what you want, easy conversations. I talk about why it’s a waste of time and energy, and I even share a little research I did on my own with family and friends…all native speakers. Love what you heard?
