Stories between Moscow & LA. The work you do when you already live in an English-speaking country.

Hi, I'm Natalia Tokar, and I am not a native speaker. I created the methodology and the system of exercises to achieve native-like fluency in English because I couldn't find it anywhere. I've always been driven by the idea of effortless mastery and virtuosity. I learn new skills with one simple idea in mind - I want to be able to apply them in my everyday life situations, specifically in my spontaneous conversations with native speakers. To do so, I need to master the fundamental skills of building relationships in a foreign language. Native-like fluency is all about being able to be yourself and belong with others in every conversation, because every conversation is an opportunity to nurture the relationship. I say that effort must be effortful, where effort brings joy. My approach is based on following deliberate practice routines and receiving human feedback. Become a daring learner who can learn directly from the source and seek feedback from more advanced learners. When you know how you learn, you can create your own curriculum. I am an educator with 17 years of teaching experience and a creative business owner with 10 years of experience in global sales &amp; cross-cultural communications.I share the methodology and my own practice routine in the community of practice and in the online programs that I create.&nbsp; <a href="nataliatokar.me" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Website</a><a href="https://community.nataliatokar.me/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Community</a> <hr> Hosted on Acast.
