In this episode, I’m joined by Michelle from We Cultivate—a trainer, podcast host, and multilingual communicator helping advanced English users communicate more effectively in global workplaces.

We talk about:

• Why fluent speakers can still struggle to be understood
• The “native speaker fallacy” and why it’s so pervasive
• How identity and culture shape the way we use language
• Questions to ask when choosing a language coach or trainer
• The importance of taking ownership of your learning journey

Whether you're working in another language or supporting learners who are, this conversation is a thought-provoking look at what really matters in communication.
