Your English Is Correct — But It Feels Awkward | Shadowing English Speaking Practice

#SpeakEnglishDaily #WorkplaceEnglish #EnglishSpeakingPractice

🔥 You studied grammar.
You memorized vocabulary.
And your English is probably better than you think…

But something still feels OFF.

You say things that are grammatically perfect…
and native speakers react strangely.

They pause.
They look confused.
They seem uncomfortable — and you don’t understand why.

In “Your English Is Correct — But It Feels Awkward | Shadowing English Speaking Practice”, Emma shows you what’s really happening:

✅ You learned the grammar rules.
✅ You learned the vocabulary.
❌ But nobody taught you the SOCIAL RULES of English.

Because some sentences are “correct”… but they can sound:
• too direct
• too rude
• too cold
• too casual
• or just… uncomfortable

These aren’t grammar mistakes.
These are CULTURAL mistakes.

And the good news?
This is EASY to fix.

Today you’ll learn 35 phrases that make your English feel natural — not awkward.

You’ll practice with shadowing (natural → slow → natural) in 7 powerful categories, including:

🙏 Making Requests (Not Commands)
💬 Responding to “Thank You”
🚪 Getting Someone’s Attention
🤔 Asking for Information
🙅 Saying No Politely
💡 Giving Opinions Softly
✨ Making Everything Smoother

And then… you’ll see how these phrases work in real life with 3 common situations:

☕ Ordering at a coffee shop (awkward vs. natural)
💼 Asking for help at work (awkward vs. natural)
🍽️ Declining an invitation (awkward vs. natural)

Finally, Emma gives you 6 simple rules to remember — so your English always feels comfortable, not stiff.

🎯 What You’ll Learn:

✅ Why “correct English” can still feel awkward
✅ How to stop accidentally sounding rude when you’re trying to be polite
✅ How to speak in a way that feels comfortable to native speakers

✅ How to sound natural in ANY conversation
