We’ve been sold a narrow, rigid definition of fluency: sound like a native speaker, speak without hesitation, never make mistakes. But here’s the truth—it’s time to unlearn that.

In this episode, we challenge the myths that keep language learners stuck. We talk about the silent pressure to be perfect, the shame of “not being there yet,” and why so many people feel voiceless even after years of study. This is where we begin reframing fluency as something more sustainable, more human, and more yours.

💡 Takeaways:

• Why the traditional definition of fluency doesn’t serve most learners
• The myth of “native-like” perfection—and why it’s harmful
• A better way to understand fluency: flexible, evolving, and voice-first
• The quiet power of learning in a way that honors who you are
