🌟 Episode Highlights

  • Your goal should be to understand native speakers and be understood by them, not to become exactly like them
  • Learning a language as an adult is fundamentally different from how native speakers learned - it's "apples to oranges”
  • Be kinder to yourself and don't try to erase your unique perspective
