Sometimes it’s not your grammar.

It’s not your accent.

It’s the phrases you're using.

In this episode of Pocket Fluency, we explore four common English phrases that many learners say correctly — but that still sound a little stiff, formal, or robotic in conversation. These are the phrases that quietly slow you down, even when you think you’re doing everything right.

We’ll show you how to smooth them out and sound more natural — without losing your meaning.

🟡 Learn real alternatives to:

  • “I would like to order…”
  • “According to me…”
  • “I am not understanding…”
  • “How to say…”

This is your Say It Like This mini-lesson — because fluency isn’t just about getting the words out. It’s about sounding like you.
