Another good example of using “mental images” correctly 😂😂😂

The picture makes it obvious, doesn’t it?))

Practice what’s important to you EVERY DAY, and not on special days, not because the teacher is looking, not because you’re expected to, and not because you paid for that online course.
Vote for what’s important to you every day.

For example, you can practice clarity not only during our lessons, but in daily conversations with your family and friends, in any language.

We forget to practice making different choices every day. For example, to react or to take a moment and feel. To say what we always say or to find better words. To hold on to what was said or to take our words back and say what truly matters. We focus too much on learning “new” things before we UNlearned all the old patterns that make it so difficult for the new patterns to stick. #nataliatokar #nativelikefluency

When people ask you to repeat what you just said, over and over again, this eats away at your confidence.

We have STARTED! The new training "American Accent. Level 1" is LIVE.

We meet on Wednesdays, 5pm or 7:30 pm CET.

A small group means you get as much attention to your accent as you deserve.

You can join group meetings LIVE or watch the replays and send your homework. You will receive feedback and corrections on your work in any scenario.

Living in a different Time Zone should not stop you.

Also, we have people in the new group who came back after quitting 6 months ago... and they say they regret losing 6 months.

If you really need better pronunciation and more confidence in English, you want to be in a group like this one today.

A year from now you will see the impact of sticking to the practice no matter what.

P.S. If you're not sure that you are ready for this training, we offer accent assessment. You will be asked to send a one-min recording following our instructions, and our accent coach will send you detailed feedback on every sound and on how you sound to an American ear.

P.P.S. You must be a community member to join this training.

We have few more seats available. Get yours 😉 apply here

“Wisdom is Knowledge + Love”

Knowledge alone is not enough. People use it against each other. People use knowledge to justify the harm they have been doing to themselves and others, or to convince others that they’re right.

“I know the word!”
Yes, but you can’t see that you’re using your words as weapons.

Love does wonders when added to knowledge.

Wise people never intimidate you with what they know.

“Learning like this is liberating. It’s not part of a curriculum, and there’s no certificate, no graduation day. Just the satisfaction of following your bliss until you become the person you’re capable of being. When you learn like this, you defy everyone who tells you to be practical, to get with the program. As Nicholas Humphrey put it, once you harness your ambitions to this unique thing called me, you become the kind of person who aspires not just to be yourself but to make more of yourself—through learning, creativity, expression, influence, and love. You become the story you tell about yourself. Your story becomes your map.
What makes us happiest is getting where we want to go. The quality of our attention shapes us, then we in turn shape the world. The ones who do it best, most beautifully, most lovingly, most imaginatively, are the crazy ones—the ones who think they can. As John Maxwell said in The Difference Maker, “Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
When you find the joy zone and stay in it, you embark on a journey to the center of yourself. You carry with you the five tools that define your humanness—feeling, seeing, dreaming, making, and learning. You join a small party that set out 50,000 years ago from the caves of Africa, and is now on its way to the stars.
We’re not human beings; we’re human becomings. We’re not the sum of our atoms; we’re the potential of our spirit, our vision, and our talent. We delight in feeling alive, in seeing what’s possible, in putting our mark on the universe.”
