About the definition of Bullshit ⬆️

A fragment of today's Sunday Practice Session:

We practiced with a very short passage, but boy...we discovered quite a lot😁

REMINDER: you don't need to spend HOURS practicing what you need to improve. One exercise a day is enough. One passage is enough.

⬆️⬆️⬆️ What I did after the session to practice these words.

It took me 3 minutes.

AI knows only what people know.
And more specifically — what the loudest people on the internet claim to know.
We educate AI. Not the other way around.

I once asked it: “What are the necessary meta-skills for self-learning non-trivial skills like native-like fluency in a foreign language?”

It couldn’t give me a solid answer. Just a bunch of clichés — pulled from influencers who teach completely different things:

- How to memorize 50 words in a day
- How to learn a guitar song in one afternoon
- How to solve math equations
- How to write clean code fast

Useful? Absolutely.
But let’s be honest — those aren’t the kind of skills that require rewiring the nervous system.

They don’t ask you to change a stubborn pattern that lives in your body.

Everyone says, “Learning is easy if you break it into steps.” Sure. So is eating healthy. So is going to bed on time. But we all know how hard it is to do that consistently, especially when it matters most.

Try changing your accent. It doesn’t matter if you have the best coach and repeat the right words a million times — it won’t stick until you interrupt the way your body’s been speaking for decades.

Try calming your nervous system under pressure.
Try telling your palms not to sweat or your hands not to shake when you’re scared.
That doesn’t change with logic. It changes through practice — real, embodied, uncomfortable practice.

Same with posture. Everyone knows you can do mobility work or shoulder resets.
But who actually does it? And who sticks with it — even on their worst day?

Changing the way you walk, speak, or react feels like a threat to your nervous system.
That’s why most people avoid it.
But that’s where transformation lives.

Meta-skills help us learn better and faster. Self-awareness is one of them. But there’s no true protocol to teach self-awareness — no matter how many people claim to have one.

AI can only echo what someone else said.
It can’t model the process of becoming. It doesn’t know what it feels like to unlearn something that kept you safe for years.

The truth is: Everything that’s worth teaching has been learned through direct experience. And the best thing we can do as humans is to share that.

AI gives you information. Your job is to verify it — with your body, your experience, your life.

As for meta-skills? A lot of people talk about them. Very few know how to train them. Almost no one has a system that actually works.

Because these skills can’t be taught. They can only be learned — through experience most people try to avoid. Because asking AI feels easier.
But if it really were that easy, everyone would already speak fluently, effortlessly — like a native speaker.

The system I teach might seem complex at first — and that’s no accident.
Getting past the upper-intermediate plateau requires something most learners avoid:

You have to unlearn how you’ve been speaking.
How you’ve been sounding.
How you’ve been thinking in English — sometimes for years.

It takes more than polishing grammar or memorizing new vocabulary.
It takes rewiring over 50% of your speech patterns.
It takes getting off autopilot mode — and staying off it.

And that’s why my approach isn’t casual.

It’s deliberate practice, powered by intense focus.
Because here’s the truth: Focus is a meta-skill. And it’s the first skill we train inside my method.

If you're serious about sounding fluent — naturally, spontaneously, and with power — this is the path.

Why do you need more than “okay English”?
Why now?
What are you building that requires your real voice — in English?

Let’s get you there.

Just shared a new episode of Natalia Reads with the community members.

This is a teaser. I absolutely loved reading a chapter from David Deida’s “Intimate Communion”.

- How did it help me in my language practice?
- How can YOU use this piece to work on your melody and rhythm?
- The words I am still struggling with and the exercises I’m going to do to work on them?

I’m sharing all this with the community members.

Work with the content that inspires you.
But make sure you do the work that improves your skills instead of mindlessly consuming content.

I’m always inspired by beauty. How about you?

P.S. to listen to the full chapter and practice with the transcript go to the section “READ DIFFERENTLY” in the community of practice.

I say a million times YES to this

Here is a good example of being Clear using very few words. And…simple words.

You don’t have to necessarily learn new, smart, or advanced words to sound clear and real. You need to THINK in the language differently.

And you need to think.

Another great example of CLARITY.

The difference between happiness and pleasure ⬆️

Can you explain your ideas in 3 min or less in English? I love this challenge and the practice of reducing the clutter, strengthening my ideas and arriving at a clear message.

Another good reminder of what “inner state” is really about.

What if you can do better? ⬆️
