Just start speaking The natural English guide that you downloaded here is to help you stop any bad habits and to recognize how you can improve Do you ever wonder why your English sounds different than native speakers? What exactly are the differences? I want to teach you how to understand the differences between your English and a native speaker’s English There are three reasons why it’s good to know the differences between your English and natural English: It will help you speak better It will help other people understand you better It will help you understand native English materials (like TV shows and movies) better These three reasons are all linked together:  When you speak naturally, you can connect with other English speakers and have conversations together  When other people can understand you well, your confidence grows because they don’t ask you to repeat yourself a lot  When you can understand English TV shows and movies, you can learn about other cultures and talk about these materials with your new English speaking friends!
