Flexible

Hi, I’m a native speaker and I grew up around the edge of London, so my accent is very much British English. If you want to practice speaking, pronunciation, listening and answering (or asking) questions with me, you’re welcome to do so.

Here are some of the key advantages of practicing this kind of free speech with a native speaker: 

1. Improved Fluency and Pronunciation

• Real-world usage: Engaging in natural conversations will help you learn how the language is spoken in everyday contexts, improving your fluency.
• Pronunciation: You can model the correct pronunciation and intonation of my speaking, helping you to develop a more authentic accent.

2. Cultural Understanding

• Cultural nuances: Language is deeply intertwined with culture. Speaking with a me can allow you to grasp cultural references, idioms, and colloquialisms that may not be found in textbooks.

3. Expanded Vocabulary

• Learning in context: I will naturally introduce you to new vocabulary within context, making it easier for you to remember and use new words and phrases.
• Slang and idiomatic expressions: You will gain exposure to informal language and slang, which are often not covered in traditional language courses.

4. Increased Confidence

• Real-time feedback: I will correct your mistakes and pick out weaknesses in your pronunciation – this immediate feedback will help you to correct your mistakes and boosting your confidence.
• Overcoming fear: Regular practice with a native speaker can help you to overcome any anxiety of speaking English.

5. Enhanced Listening Skills

• Understanding natural speech patterns: As a native speaker, I use natural rhythms, pauses, and speech patterns that you must learn to understand and mimic.

6.. Practical Communication Skills

• Problem-solving in real-time: Speaking with me will help you to develop the ability to ‘think on your feet’ and communicate effectively, even when you don’t know the exact words or phrases to use.

Free speech with a native speaker is invaluable for language learners. It offers a holistic approach that goes beyond just language acquisition to include cultural competence, cognitive development, and personal growth. So, if you’d like to give it a try with me, feel free to book a lesson.

Thank you!
