Sounding Native is Overrated | Intermediate English Podcast
Description
Have you ever felt frustrated that, no matter how long you’ve been learning English, you still don’t sound like the Queen? Or Hugh Grant? Or anyone remotely British?
In this episode, I share my personal journey with pronunciation - from crying in a French oral exam as a teenager, to getting over perfectionism through Mandarin, German, and now Spanish. We talk about why trying to sound native can sometimes hold us back, and why the real goal should be clear, confident communication in your own voice.
I also share some practical strategies to improve your pronunciation without losing your mind - or your identity.
Because, spoiler: your accent is not a flaw! It’s part of your story. :)
