If you don’t know what to read out loud today, read this quote.

In April and May 2026, our focus in the community was sending and receiving Mental Images in English. This is one of the core principles in my Method - we train the ability to SEE what they say and paint pictures with our words. Here are the posts on Mental Images on this channel: Articles: — See what mental image people are receiving when they listen to you or read your texts — Achieving mastery in a foreign language is the process of mastering oneself — Learning English vs Developing Spontaneous Speech in English Videos&podcasts: — A podcast from Seth Godin. A great example of using mental images — A 20-min podcast from Natalia on mental images. Monthly Drop: April 2026. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ — Watch it on YouTube with captions — More on Mental Images: Monthly Drop: May 2026 — AUDACITY: how meaning matches form — "Mental images": native speakers of English don't translate your words. They SEE or don't see them Exercises: — An exercise to see mental images behind the words — A game to understand mental images — The exercise that helps when you feel a lot but don’t have the language for your feelings and experiences — You can learn anything through reverse engineering Examples of mental images: — Example: "A brain that won't shut up" — Example: "Price of Mastery" — Example: "Why we pay everyone who takes care of children but not mothers" — Example: Authenticity can also sound like this Posts in Russian: — Наша задача — рисовать образы словами на английском, а не просто говорить английские слова — Пример использования Mental Images If you want to dive deeper, unlock more exercises and practice with feedback in real time, you’ll find all this in my practice studio.

If this resonates, If this touches you on a deeper level than “I need to improve my English”, If you KNOW in your body that the mismatch between how you feel and how you sound is real, Then you’ll gain so much from this accent practice!!! Leave a comment of DM me @nataliatokar to join the new advanced accent group. P.S. if you’re now sure whether you’re advanced enough for this training, comment anyway. You can start with the accent assessment and we will direct you to what’s best for you.

I just had my private accent class. Here are the words I practiced to say differently. Can you read the words?

1) kuhoo AH puh REHEE ddihng 2) nuh TAE lee uh/ nuh TAH lee uh 3) thuhooz 4) uhn uh PAH luh GEH ddihk

My homework for this week is to do the self-corection practice with these. We don't work only on my accent. We change the perception of WORDS and SOUNDS. Because let me tell you this - ALL of us who learned English as a foreign language in school - we all learned to read it incorrectly. We have a broken perception of the sounds that each letter or a combination of letters stands for. And as long as we keep insisting on "A" being the same "A" that we have in our first language
