What if learning English isn't about replacing your identity?

What if it's about creating a new version of yourself?

Hi, I'm Georgiana, and I'm back with a new episode of the Speak English Now podcast.

The podcast that helps you speak English

fluently with no grammar and no textbooks. If you want to help me, share the podcast with your

friends and family. That would mean a lot. Thanks. On my website, you can find the five secrets to speaking

English and my premium courses. Before we start, get the transcript. Visit speakenglishpodcast.com slash podcast.

Okay, let's start.

Today we're going to explore something different,

something that might completely shift the way you think about learning English.

What if learning English isn't about replacing your identity?

What if it's about creating a new version of yourself?

Let me explain.

Many students say things like, I feel like I'm not myself when I speak English, or I know what I want to say, but I don't sound like me, Or even, I feel blocked, like something is missing.

This goes beyond pronunciation or grammar. It's an emotional barrier, and I believe it's connected to identity.

Also, think about children who immigrate to the United States.

Here's something I'm noticed.

Families move to the U.S. from different countries. The parents often speak English with a strong

accent, but the children? After just a few years, they speak perfectly, like native speakers.

They sound like they were born in the U.S.

Is that because they're smarter?

No.
