How to see the beauty in the language? Learn to see the beauty of the thought. The beauty of intention. Read these excerpts from real letters that real people wrote to those who mattered to them.
The world is divided into people who do things and people who get the credit. Try, if you can, to belong to the first class. There’s far less competition.
Dwight Morrow to his son, Dwight Jr., 1925 | The Rotarian
***
If you will trust my scheme of making a mental habit of doing the hard thing first, when you are absolutely fresh, and I mean doing the hardest thing first at the exact moment that you feel yourself fit for doing anything in any particular period, morning, afternoon or evening, you will go a long way toward mastering the principle of concentration.
F. Scott Fitzgerald to his daughter, 18 Apr 1938 | Letters of F. Scott Fitzgerald
****
There is always more surface to a shattered object than a whole.
Djuna Barnes to Emily Coleman, 1960 | The Book of Repulsive Women and Other Poems
****
Inhabitants of different and largely incommensurable worlds can live happily together—but only on condition that each recognizes the fact that the other’s world is different and has just as much right to exist and be lived in as his own. Once the other’s right to live where he or she is temperamentally and, no doubt, physiologically predestined to live is recognized, there can be something very stimulating and liberating about the experience of being joined in a loving relationship with somebody whose universe is radically unlike one’s own. It becomes possible for each of the partners to enlarge his own private universe by taking his stand vicariously, through empathy and intelligence, within the other’s territory and trying to see what reality looks like from that other vantage point. I remember a very touching passage in one of my grandfather’s letters about his own obtuseness—the obtuseness of an immensely intelligent man of the highest integrity—in relation to his wife’s insights, immediate, non-rational and almost infallible, into human character. Jack Sprat could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean—which is precisely why it is possible for them to constitute a symbiotic organism superior to each of its components. But, alas, what is possible goes all too often unrealized and, instead of federating their two worlds, the temperamental aliens settle down to a cold war.
Aldous Huxley to Humphry Osmond, 6 May 1959 | Psychedelic Prophets The Letters of Aldous Huxley and Humphry Osmond
*****
Listen: respect even the bad parts of yourself—respect above all the bad parts of yourself—for the love of God, don’t try to make yourself perfect—don’t copy an ideal, copy yourself—that is the only way to live.
Clarice Lispector to her sister, 6 Jan 1948 | Why This World

I was working on my self-presentation today. Here is what I ended up with:
I'm Natalia, and I am not a native speaker. I don't create "unique programs", I don't advocate for "secret methods", I don't promote myself as an English teacher. There is no "secret" approach. On the opposite, all the tools are simple, transparent, and publicly available.
I fundamentally believe that non-native speakers can advance their English skills and reach native-like fluency in their home country, without having to take private lessons for the rest of their lives, and without having to buy expensive programs for "advanced" students.
I teach a self-study exploratory practice approach to learning a foreign language and I show HOW to actively learn from people (many native speakers, not one special person who is currently playing the role of your English teacher)
The challenge is to learn to learn. Instead, people wait to be taught.
Mastering a foreign language always means developing your cognitive and metacognitive skills. No textbook and no teacher in the world can develop these skills for you. No one can teach you to THINK differently about the language, to THINK IN a foreign language, and to self-correct your thinking and your speaking patterns. This is your job. You're the one who can do it best.
I don't believe that paying a teacher twice a week for a lifetime is a sustainable strategy to master a foreign language. I don't think that taking one course after another and not knowing what to do when no more courses are available (or once you can't afford new courses anymore) is sustainable either.
Many non-native speakers believe it's ok to depend on somebody's lesson plans, on somebody's unique teaching method. I disagree. I know that every person is unique. Any teaching method in itself is useless and not important. It only matters if people can apply this method to their own unique situations, their individual learning abilities, and if they can get the result (better English skills) WITHOUT having to depend on this method (or the one who promotes it) forever.
It's totally ok to use a combination of methods and learn from a lot of people. It's not true that one special person knows better than others....but since we live in the era of "personal brands", every teacher tries to convince their audience that they are the ONE.
My programs do not promise English "levels".
My courses are individual mentorship programs that help non-native speakers learn the skill to learn independently. Here people learn to THINK in English (instead of translating words in their head) and continuously advance their thinking and communication skills in English.
If I can do it, if people around me are doing it every day, I don't see a reason why other non-native speakers can't do the same.
You can move beyond "advanced", "proficient" or any other academic levels. Language is about understanding people, not about passing tests or scoring levels.
You don't pay for "unique" content. Content is free and should be free. Content doesn't matter as much as the strategies to work with content.
I teach the strategy to apply knowledge and develop cognitive skills in a foreign language. It's a system of simple exercises that every person can do on their own and in any life situation. My job is to help people master the exercises, and I always give individual feedback. Once a person has learned to do them, they can keep practicing on their own time and they can always reach out for feedback and support.
Your thinking process defines the quality of your speech. You're not only improving your language skills. You are inevitably learning to self-correct the way you speak (in any language).
On average, it takes an adult 9-12 months to acquire these skills.

I don't teach English. I help you learn English.... because you can do it yourself.
I don't charge by the hour (feedback is unlimited), and you never pay extra for my feedback and our communication "once the course is over". There is no such thing as "the end". The learning process is infinite. All my students continue practicing for at least 1,5 years (I keep creating educational videos for them at no extra cost) and they help other people with their results.
All you need is an internet connection and a desire to learn.

Everybody who takes the Public Speaking course in English learns to craft their self-presentation in English. Every paticipant learns to tell at least 5 different stories to introduce themselves, their experience, and their service/product. Many people join the course to learn to sell themselves as professionals at a job interview. Check out the curriculum.

Forwarded from Женщина, которая меняется.
Друзья, у меня просьба помочь с тестированием нового продукта для студентов. Неважно, занимаетесь ли вы уже или никогда не занимались по моим программам, но хотите протестировать новое пространство для тех, кто активно занимается совершенствованием своего английского. Участвовать могут все, студенты любого уровня, включая преподавателей.
Мне надоело постить контент в разных местах и играть по правилам соц сетей. Я хочу создать пространство, где будет понятна траектория движения для тех, кто только присоединился, и для тех, кто давно работает. Приватные группы из соц сетей тоже буду переносить.
Всем участникам этого пилота откроется доступ к эксклюзивным и регулярным видео-упражнениям, по которым можно тренироваться вместе со мной. Я здесь не преподаватель, а такой же студент. Просто я организую и создаю контент. Опытные преподаватели могут вызваться помогать.
Все 100% на английском.
Мне нужно понять,
насколько это удобно
насколько это нужно людям
насколько это не отвлекает (соц сети очень отвлекают и в них невозможен поиск)
насколько новым людям комфортно и понятно
Чтобы это понять, мне нужна помощь людей, которые тоже ищут такое удобное пространство для самообучения с единомышленниками, где нет флуда, бесконечных чатов и хаоса .
Сроки тестирования: 25 октября - 7 ноября
Нужно будет создать профиль в сети и активно участвовать. Раз в день заходить достаточно. Если зашли и ничего не хочется делать - не делаете. Если хочется - делаете, общаетесь, делитесь результатами.
В конце я попрошу фидбек. Ваши честные мысли своими словами.
Всем активным участникам, кто оставит обратную связь, я даю скидку 15% на любой новый продукт, который планирую запустить в этом пространстве. Если по итогам тестирования я решу этот софт не использовать, скидка все равно будет.
Оставить заявку можно, заполнив форму по ссылке.
Спасибо и до встречи❤️ https://forms.office.com/r/Y26v7mrpn6

The principles that I stick to as an English learner:
1. I'm a student, not a teacher here. I use the system of exercises to achieve native-like fluency as a student, and I do my homework too.
2. I use the target language to learn more about the target language
3. I explore and play like a child
4. I work with the source. I learn from people who speak English from birth, not from ONE person, one textbook, or one course.
5. I invest my time in learning the culture behind the language.

The Native-LIke fluency group.
I'm considering creating two groups this time. Start date is Nov 3, 2021
You can join on Nov 3 or Nov 7. Then the doors will close for the next 6 months.
Group #1 - those who have never worked in the Native-Like fluency group before.
Our goal here is to learn to build an individualized sustainable practice routine. We will learn all the exercises of the system "9 essential skills" together, students will learn to measure their results and to apply the exercises to any content of their choice.
After 6 months of training, students have a choice to continue practicing on their own or to join Group #2.
Group #2 - for people who have already completed 6 months of training in the Native-Like Fluency group and for English teachers who are working on improving their language skills and their fluency. We will be doing way more advanced exercises together, learn to CREATE exercises and routines for ourselves, and we will do projects together.
There are 3 steps here:
- Learning how the system of exercises works. Mastering all exercises with the coach (group #1)
- Learning to CREATE routines, adapt exercises, and shift the focus. Learning to steer your own learning process when your goal is virtuosity (group #2)
- Learning to manage your inner state. Special sessions with my coach who has over 30 years of experience (group #3) English teachers who have completed their training in group #3 will be invited to work together on corporate projects and can join the team of teachers who can teach native-like fluency.

When little details make a big difference
Micro-learning. Is it good or bad?
I keep saying that the learning process is infinite. Yet, each exercise should feel and be finite.
I know how long an exercise takes me. I know what it means to complete it, and I know how to measure my results.
I like working with short movie clips, super short texts, and I rarely listen to the entire podcast episode in one go.
I organize my own "micro-learning" process, and I can be creative, daring, and curious.
Why do people sign up for apps that promise to organize their routine for them? It's tempting - to never have to think...
But how can people learn to be creative, i.e. to CREATE their routines and their lives (which are merely a collectiion of daily habits) when they are so eager to delegate their own thinking process to soulless tech?

In 2006, a group of students at Xavier High School in New York City were given an assignment by their English teacher, Ms. Lockwood, that was to test their persuasive writing skills: they were asked to write to their favourite author and ask him or her to visit the school. It’s a measure of his ongoing influence that five of those pupils chose Kurt Vonnegut, the novelist responsible for, amongst other highly-respected books, Slaughterhouse-Five; sadly, however, he never made that trip. Instead, he wrote this wonderful letter. He was the only author to reply.
