Today you’ll learn how to let go of your grammar mistakes and your obsession with perfection and you’ll learn how to finally speak like a native!

What does it mean to “mimic” English speakers?
To “mimic” means to copy.
When you learn English, don’t learn from the written word. Learn from what you hear.
Try to surround yourself with the language and repeat back what you hear.
Don’t think about conjugating verbs in your head or making a mistake.
When you focus too much on conjugating, it restricts your ability to take in new sounds in your head.
There will be no space in your mind.
