Natalia Tokar | Native-Like Fluency

Some of you ask me, 'What books can I read to improve my English?" My answer is - follow your JOY! Any book that you like is good. Here is a good list to choose from https://www.penguin.co.uk/discover/articles/100-must-read-classic-books And if you're a community member, we have updated a community library where you can download collections of audiobooks, fiction, non-fiction and poetry books that I personally curate.

I’m not kidding you. This will change how you show up in the world! To join the accent work, send me a DM. We meet every Wednesday, 5pm CET.

A clip from last night's American Accent Class. This is excliusive training with Alex brown. Level 1. The BASICS: for people who want to consciously work on how they SOUND in English. This will take you off autopilot and help you implement the changes that must happen in your body (your mouth is a part of your body) after they took place in your mind. The mind knows what to do. The body needs more TIME and care. Here we learn to focus differently and allow your English-speaking idenity to expand. It's for you if you're done shrinking in English, reducing your voice and hiding behind what you already know. There's MORE for you. To join this group, DM me or leave a comment. It's very small, select group so that everyone gets maximum attention.

Do you also find yourself needing to explain yourself? You can stop. If this feels familiar, leave a comment. I wanna hear your story.

A fragment from the class: You get access to all the previous recordings so you can do your practice. https://youtube.com/shorts/U_DQ5t-gclo?is=zeplp-F1D1LTa362

The AMERICAN ACCENT group is starting tonight! 5pm CET. Weekly live coaching. It’s a 6-month commitment. The group is for you if you know it’s TIME to unlock your authentic voice in English and you can’t afford to sound the same (“understandable” but not like the real “You”) for another year or decade. You must be a community member to join. A one-time offer for non-members: join one class and see if you want to stay for 6 months. Price : $99 Only 2 seats! It’s a small group because we want to give your progress MAXIMUM attention and care.

Authenticity can also sound like this. Pay attention to the mental images! There's an abundance of them here! If you're not sure what mental images are, go to —> METHOD.

Fragment from the American Accent Training. The new group (BASIC Level) starts on March 23, 2026. Please DM 'ACCENT' if you are ready to get coached live and see transformational results in 6 months from today. - We practice every Monday - Replays are available - There's Homework, Standards, and KPIs - It's FUN! - Clear before/after recordings - A small group where everyone gets feedback and attention As a member, you also get access to all the previous recordings so you can find practical help on the sounds that need work (based on your assessment results). I look forward to welcoming you in this new group!

Does your mind still translate? Even if you think it doesn’t and you understand everything without needing a translation? Be honest. Autopilot can’t multitask.

I just had to share it. These are such powerful mental images and analogies!

How to learn better: Learn FROM the best. Learn WITH likeminded people who are practicing the same skills. Join this group to improve your American Accent. - Basic Group (you are fluent but never worked on their accent with dedication and discipline. You will master ALL the sounds + the foundations of rhythm) - Advanced Group (you are fluent and you have mastered most of the sounds. Now you want to figure out how to sound like YOU in American. We will work on melody, rhythm, vibe, and sounding authentic) We hold our groups to HIGH standards, and we do so with care. If you're not ready to commit for 6 months of focused practice, please don't apply. We're only interested in students who are not scared away by honest feedback, who want to see their patterns and are ready to change them. In 6 months, your progress will be inevitable. Only 6 seats per group. You will get the attention that you deserve. Start Date: end of March. The details will be communicated with the confirmed participants. - How to apply: send a DM or leave a comment "Accent"

First, work on the WHAT. You can't repeat what you didn't hear or understand. Don't rush to say 'I think I understand what this is about'. Anyone who says this is translating. They can translate the core of the message ro their first language, and they think they got it. Maybe they did. What's more dangerous is that they think they learned it, and if they understand it, there's nothing for them to learn here. The reality is, they understand only as much as their autopilot allows. Autopilot translates, feels satisfied, and moves on. Paying attention to the HOW requires your autopilot to stop. P.S. If you struggle with the Synchronization Exercise, trying to catch, hear, and repeat every word, maybe you haven't done the 'WHAT" step. Pause. Take a break. Understand WHAT you're seeing and hearing. Only then listen to HOW they do it. Same applies to reading. First, read the passage to yourself. Feel what it's about. Let it go through your veins. FEEL the meaning. Only then attempt to read it out loud.

There are 2 more seats in the American Accent Training Room. Level 1. It's a 6-month LIVE program where you're going to master Vowels, Consonants, and the Foundations of Rhythm. For fluent speakers who want to sound American and correct their pronunciation. You get: - Weekly Live Coaching - Real-time corrections - Real accountability - Real progress To participate: - you must be already fluent in English - be a community member - Do the initial accent assessment DM me to become a community member and check if you qualify for the Accent Training. P.S. We have two groups: Level 1 and Level 2. If you're more advanced and need help in discovering your American voice, the advanced group might be for you! Spots are limited! Only 6 people per group! DM me and I'll send you details to apply.

DM me if you want a coach who will take you to the new levels of fluency and expression through identity transformation

If your English doesn’t sound like you, start with the voice challenge. https://www.videoask.com/fw1j3nk4s

What feels harder: speaking fast or speaking honestly in a foreign language (in my case it’s English?) I know a lot of people who think that being fluent means speaking fast. I used to be there too. I’m a fast talker in my first language. So, I thought that increasing the pace would signal that I didn’t hesitate to speak, I.e. I was fluent. But as I speeded up, everything I said flattened. There was no music, no Melody, no rhythm any more. And honesty, authenticity was lost too. Slowing down develops your capacity to assess where you are in what you’re saying. Are you even there?
