‘영원한 이방인(원제: Native Speaker)'은 완벽한 영어를 구사하지만 여전히 경계인으로 살아가는 이민 2세대의 소속감에 대한 갈망을 섬세하게 그린, 한국계 미국 작가 이창래의 자전적 소설입니다.

In this episode, I'm diving into a topic that's very personal to me—working in an English-speaking environment as a non-native speaker. If you've ever felt unsure about your English skills in meetings, emails, or presentations, you're not alone. I've been there myself, and I want to share what's helped me grow more confident and effective over the years. I'll walk you through practical strategies that go beyond grammar—things that have really made a difference for me in both speaking and writing, and most importantly, in getting my message across clearly.

If you don't have money to pay for an English course, I got your back. Do these five things that I talk about in this episode and I promise you, you will be able to improve your English in no time.

In this episode, we dive into the pervasive issue of native speakerism in English Language Teaching with educator and advocate Meri Maroutian.Meri shares her journey into the profession, the biases she's faced, and the reflective, practical tools she now offers to help others tackle this issue—like her three-part masterclass designed to dismantle accent bias and outdated teaching models.We also hear from listeners about how native speakerism has impacted them, and reflect on how all of us—whether classroom teachers, trainers, or administrators—can work toward a more equitable profession.

One of the biggest differences between how American English native speakers and language learners sound not only has to do with the vowels or consonants we use, especially when it comes to transitioning from one thought group to the next, but also the pitch.The reality: we often struggle to feel natural adding the elements we need to use in our pronunciation, especially when it comes to having a wide enough pitch range in American English.Welcome to Wake Up American, where Monday through Friday, we spend a couple minutes on a challenging aspect of American English pronunciation and walk through examples to help you achieve a more natural sound the next time you speak in American English at work, at home, or out and about town.Support the Show.

In this English Speaking Practice & Listening Shadowing Tips video, we break down our original shadowing video (https://youtu.be/U5jSfKEo5S4How ) and discuss some pronunciation features it contains that can help you sound more natural as you practice your American English pronunciationAmerican English shadowing exercises are for people interested in expanding their American English accents, whether you are located in the US, North America, or other areas around the world.

Barbara Serra is an award-winning Italian journalist who has spent much of her career reading the news in the UK on various high-profile well-established English language news networks including the BBC, Channel 5, Al Jazeera English and Sky News. Barbara has quite a specific relationship with English. It's her dominant language but not her native language. She has a certain accent, which does place her outside the UK somehow. So how has this affected her career as a news reader and reporter? What is the story of her English? What kind of challenges has she faced while reading the news in the UK? And what does this all tell us about learning English, what it means to improve your accent, the relationship between accent and identity, the definition of “native” and “non-native speaker”, the status of different English accents in the English speaking world?

Ever wondered if native English speakers make mistakes? Well, here's the truth: Native English speakers make mistakes, too! This can be comforting for English learners. Hi! I'm Georgiana, and I'm back with a new episode. I'm here to help you speak English fluently. 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 5 Secrets to Speaking English and my premium courses. Before we start, get the transcript. Visit: SpeakEnglishPodcast.com/podcast It's completely free! Ok, let's start! Native speakers of any language make mistakes, just like learners do. This is a natural part of language use and communication. Let's learn the mistakes native English speakers make and why they happen. Pronunciation Mistakes: It's common to mispronounce hard words. For example, some people say "Pacific" instead of "specific." Spelling Mistakes: Even people who have spoken English from birth can spell words wrongly. It's like writing "definately" when it should be "definitely." Misusing Words: Sometimes, people mix up words that sound the same, like "their" and "there." Or, they might use the wrong preposition. These are often just small mistakes. Why Mistakes Happen: Informal Language: In everyday talk, people use short forms like "gonna" instead of "going to." These are okay when speaking but not in formal writing. Speaking Fast: Often, people talk quickly and don't think about grammar rules. Not Paying Attention: Everyone makes more mistakes when they are tired or not focused. Learning from Mistakes: When kids learn to speak, they make many errors. As someone learning English, you should see mistakes as a chance to get better. Most of the time, when people correct their mistakes, kids don't get embarrassed. They might even laugh about it. Attitude Toward Mistakes: Most people understand that mistakes happen, and they don't usually stop us from understanding each other. Remember, making mistakes doesn't mean you're bad at English. It means you are learning and getting better. So, if you make a mistake, just smile and try again. Even people who have spoken English their whole life are still learning! Great! I hope you're enjoying this episode! And now, let's continue with a mini-story.

Textbook English is different from spoken English, and a big part of this comes down to pronunciation and how things are said in real conversations. This is Part 2 in my series on pronunciation, where we first looked at Linking in Episode 255, and now we're looking at Elision. These are both features of connected speech that share some similarities.In this episode, I share an example of elision followed by a question or challenge for myself that I also ask you (the listeners) to do as well!Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast262Support the showSign Up for Free Lessons - https://www.levelupenglish.school/#freelessonsJoin Level Up English - https://courses.levelupenglish.schoolBy becoming a member, you can access all podcast transcripts, listen to the private podcast and join live lessons and courses on the website.
