Let’s start with a simple truth:
Most learners sound formal not because they *want to,* but because that’s the version of English they were *given.*

Let’s be real for a second.
When you first start learning English, you probably think native speakers talk like the recordings in your textbook:

“Hello, how are you today?”
“I am fine, thank you. And you?”

Then you meet a native speaker and they say:

“Hey, how’s it goin’?”
“Good, you?”

And your brain goes: Wait. What language was that?

Here’s the thing — most learners aren’t bad listeners.
They’re just listening for a version of English that doesn’t exist in real life.

You’re listening to The English Exchange — the show that helps you speak English naturally, confidently, and as yourself.

I’m LJ, your coach and host from The Immersion Studio.

Maybe you’ve studied English for years… but still hesitate when it’s time to speak.
Or maybe you understand everything — until real people start talking too fast.

This show is for that moment — the gap between what you know and how you sound.
